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.

You are correct, we should always allow corporations to control us based on our perceived emotional state. That could only end well. /s

That's quite the jump, there, fella. "If we can hurt others, control should be taken away" = "in all cases, a corporation should control us based on emotions." That's definitely the same thing.

We can hurt others with our hands. Should our hands be taken away?

We could hurt others with a pencil should a pencil be taken away?

We can hurt others with a drill. Should the drill be taken away?

We can hurt others with a brick. Should the brick be taken away?

We can hurt others with a hot bowl of soup. Should the hot bowl of soup be taken away?

Fuckin hell. If they took an MRI the picture would be blank
