I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that rolling stop signs is not a slippery slope to robot rapists.

  I think you're right. Programming a several ton machine to disregard laws and potentially kill many pedestrians without warning isn't really comparable to programming a machine to rape -- it's unfathomable worse. I've worked in factories and the idea that a car company can release a machine onto the streets that wouldn't be allowed anywhere near a factory floor is flabbergasting. If a company tried to release a product that had this safety profile in a factory setting the governments and unions would be all over them. The fact that some jackass yokel or senile old lady routinely roll through stop signs daily doesn't justify Tesla releasing a product that does the same.

    Equating rolling stops to rape has to be the worst argument against FSD I’ve ever heard. I’m honestly at a loss for words. Safely proceeding through an intersection without coming to a complete stop hurts nothing, except maybe the feelings of traffic law puritans.
