let enthusiasts drive on tracks or specially designated roads


Okay you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

How much do you know about motorsports and regulations/areas currently designated for such activities? Its already shrinking to the point only the rich can participate and self driving cars aren't even a thing everywhere yet.

Why don't we simply improve public transit systems that already exist instead of replacing something that gives people autonomy in their lives? Because the push for self driving cars is all about population control.

Ideally you could still own a car if you wanted to, it's just that you wouldn't be able to park it downtown and it would have limited utility in high traffic areas unless you want to send it back to your house when you get to your location or pay for a garage spot. Most people would be perfectly happy to pay for a service that brings a car directly to their location. Basically like Uber only without the driver and accessible anywhere.


Are you so mechanically inept to not understand how many potential problems this could create for individuals should even the slightest thing go wrong?

Think of issues with plane delays, now imagine getting a delay because your car you sent home can't pick you up in time.

Or do you think the system will run perfectly? Nothing runs perfectly.

Statistics, causality and extrapolation aren't things.


And all of these things point to loss of jobs and individual autonomy over where they want to transport themselves.

I feel like people who think AI won't be able to handle everything a human can are probably haven't read anything about it.


How much time have you spent programming or researching how AI functions? Are you just going to take the word of somebody you don't know because they have a degree? Just like the religious blindly follow their pastor because "well hes a paster I can't question his knowledge about god I'm not a paster derp"

Systems don't exist within a vacuum and everybody assumes there wont be unforeseeable variables which affect road conditions that AI WONT be able to adjust for that a human easily could (a competent human, again, make it harder to get a license like it used to be. Test have actually become easier than the past but kids these days don;t know because they are so disconnected from their parents generations they think everything that happens to them is entirely new or different)
