- bombcar 3y agoNow I’m imagining a scene from Fight Club 2: More Fightening: “Now see, there’s a calculus. If our emergency systems save ten thousand lives a year, those are customers for life. And we look at those as currency to be spent - we have some lives we can waste elsewhere, especially in areas that are indicative of non-repeat customers. Customer who normally doesn’t drink, we detect as drunk? Probably lost his job or got a divorce, we disable the emergency systems.”

- stubish 3y agoFrom the article, I'd say zero. My take away from the read is it takes absolutely ages for the stopping to kick in. Hands of wheel, visual alerts, making the car shudder, sirens. The driver must be dead or unconcious. In what possible situation is it better for the car to continue on with a completely unresponsive driver?
