There have been three human-driven car crashes on my busy street within a 10 second walk from my front door just in the last year. A multi car collision woke me up last night at 4 am. All three crashes completely closed the road for several hours. I've even seen a human driver trying to outrun the police, ignoring their instructions to stop.
Clearly, the rollout of human drivers isn't working and we should start blocking roads until the government bans them.
- pengaru 3y agoThere are a whole lot more human driven vehicles on the streets than autonomous. For how small these autonomous fleets are we shouldn't be hearing about any such events if they were actually superior to human drivers. This tech clearly isn't ready, and the cities they're operating in are being used as training grounds while putting everyone there at risk.
- hindsightbias 3y agoUnless the public and media is biased and swayed by hysteria. But of course it can’t be exaggerated, just like terrorism, child kidnapping and the threat of white techies getting murdered by street people. Cruise has been in my hood for years. I’ll take them anyday over humans.

- hedora 3y agoLet me know how that works out over the next 5-10 days, after the food runs out, and you realize you can’t get food, or even hope to flee your urban anarcho-hellscape after the train system fails for lack of maintenance workers or parts.
