Absolutely not. There are other people on the road. Families. You don’t get to kill other people in a preventable accident because you believe you’re an above-average human who can outperform a computer.
- PM_me_your_math 3y agoComputer errors have killed entire families.
- Timon3 3y agoHuman errors have killed many, many, many more.
- o_1 3y agoIt should be optional period. You want to save lives how about disable stolen cars, so joy ride Kias dont kill pregnant mothers. Imagine emergency braking a F-350 with a gooseneck and two tractors on it. Does not end well.
- Timon3 3y agoWhat if it being optional increases death statistics massively? Should we really be ideologically driven instead of relying on data and measurable effects?
- matheusmoreira 3y agoWhat if free will leads to wars, crimes, deaths? Surely the world would be safer if we sacrificed our humanity for security!
- Timon3 3y agoWe can easily pass a law requiring AEB in new cars. Can you explain the mechanism that would allow legislating free will? Or were you just looking for any counter example, no matter if it makes the least bit sense?
- matheusmoreira 3y agoYou think statistics override basic principles of human dignity. I'm merely exposing your argument for the absurdity it is. > What if it being optional increases death statistics massively? What else would you like to make mandatory to satisfy your death reduction statistics, I wonder? Vaccines? Let's just go all the way: you're talking about eliminating human agency, autonomy and free will. You want to replace it with decisions made by committee with optimized outcomes and make them mandatory with force of law. > Should we really be ideologically driven instead of relying on data and measurable effects? Yes. Do you not have principles, values you won't compromise on?
- Timon3 3y agoI'm definitely not ready to sacrifice my fellow humans on the altar of my own conviction. But hey, you do you!
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI literally couldn't care less how well the computer performs. I'm the human, it's my vehicle, I'm driving and I should have total command over the machine. I refuse to be dehumanized into some well-controlled variable in the name of so-called safety.
- colpabar 3y agoThink of the children?
- i_am_jl 3y agoFor what it's worth, I think you're misunderstanding the sentiment here. The argument isn't that a human is better at avoiding accidents than an automated system, the argument is that, as an average human, I'm good enough and the marginal difference isn't worth the complexity and risk that the system introduces.
