- Frederation 2y agoYou have control in that instance. Apples and oranges.
- fragmede 2y agoWhat control over the human Uber/Lyft driver, whom you've never met before, do you have?
- barbazoo 2y agoSelf preservation.
- Dylan16807 2y agoYou control someone else's self preservation? That doesn't make sense to me unless you're suggesting the passenger also threaten the driver. Did you answer the question they actually asked?
- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoOstensibly, the Uber/Lyft driver is also feeling threatened and will gun the throttle in an attempt to escape the situation, even if an attacker is directly in front.
- fragmede 2y agoSure, but that wasn't the question.

- rglullis 2y agoOn an airplane, the pilot has skin in the game. If he screws up, he will pay with his own life. What happens to the developers/manufacturers of a driverless car that kills a passenger or a pedestrian?
- kaycebasques 2y agoI thought we were talking about the feeling of powerlessness? Still seems like an apples-to-apples comparison in that regard. > how do you overcome the slight powerless feeling
- rglullis 2y agoI don't have any "feeling of powerlessness" when I am on a plane, or a taxi, or a bus or train or a boat, because I believe that whoever is conducting those vehicles have interests aligned with mine: to get safely and uneventfully to the end of the journey. There is no such alignment on a driverless car, plane or boat. No engineer or executive will get punished in case the car gets double parked, let alone if it runs over a pedestrian crossing the street.
- jerlam 2y agoIn the event of an emergency, the Uber driver is also a human who would take action (possibly extreme or illegal) to get out of a life-threatening situation. The self-driving car will not.
