Open Google Maps and try to streetview over Germany. People (or provacy laws) did not adjust, and I can’t say I’m sad about that - even though not having SV can be annoying.

- gattilorenz 3y agoHah, great catch! I missed the news on this!
- viraptor 3y agoThat's a different level. Sure, there are and will be laws that regulate self driving cars. We will change them over time. What I meant by people adjusting is that self-driving car will stop being something people have some kneejerk hostile reaction to.
- gattilorenz 3y agoI thought the underlying reason behind the laws and lack of StreetView in Germany was the general higher sensitivity to privacy, not just “laws”. Laws, after all, are created by elected people who should interpret the spirit of the population. Of course people change over time to live with a technology, but I would not take it for granted that it _has_ to happen always, and not without reshaping the tech to make it more palatable to people’s concerns and values.
