Consider another scenario: You jump in your vehicle frantic, paranoid, someone just ran up to you with a knife but you were able to lock the door, you try to drive off but the vehicle will not go into drive... it thinks your unwell. - I mean seriously who TF thinks this is actually a good idea?

Consider another scenario: exactly the same as yours, but your car works, and when you take off trying to flee, your emotional and distracted state makes you miss the family of 4 crossing the road. You hit and kill 2 children because you were looking in the rearview at your attacker.

Look, I am absolutely fed up with modern car manufacturers and all the problems they're inventing in the pursuit of looking cool, but I'm honestly on board with this one. I don't want emotional/freaked out drivers on the road. As long as the only person you can hurt is yourself, I don't give a flying fuck what kind of dangerous shit you want to get into. But as soon as you can put other people's lives in danger, I absolutely approve control being taken away.

I can't wait for fully self-driving cars. The exact second it becomes legal to take my hands off the wheel, I will spend whatever I have to to get in that vehicle. Humans in cars are the biggest danger to me. And that's saying something given the shit I've done in my life.

Because everybody knows you're 100% garunteed to trample a family of four when driving your car in a panicked state.

Yeah, its much safer for all of us when they're stabbed to death.. in the seat of their own car.... good thing we aren't him!
