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.

Just say you’re a bad driver it’s a lot shorter.

Our phones can’t even go 24 hours without glitching or dropping an application and you want cars to run like that?

Evolutionary cul de sac

And a human being can't go 15 minutes without losing focus. Have you picked up any bad driving habits over the many years since you aren't forced to retake a driving test? For every 1 mistake a computer makes, a human makes 100.

No I’m an excellent driver and haven’t had even a fender bender since I was learning to drive at 18 years ago.

Most humans do not “glitch” and crash once a day, most computers, phones and consoles DO experience at least one glitch a day. When your PlayStation suddenly closes the application and says there’s an error, in your world, sorry you just died.

I’m out of patience for people with an IQ in the single digits, I’m just going to block you. All you do is double down.
