Before a law mandating self-driving cars would be viable, they'd have to be widespread. That's going to take several decades. It will happen, though - we don't permit unsafe activities when a safer alternative becomes viable. LinkPizza posted... And even if it did (which is won't), I still wouldn't get in one... Enjoy sitting at home then, I guess. LinkPizza posted... And it's funny you mention Zipcar. Because they are apparently horrible... And many people have stopped using them. Hey, another Trumpian "many people" statement, and an unsourced one to boot. LinkPizza posted... Others switched to Uber and Lyft. You realize both those companies are heavily invested in the self-driving auto industry and are aiming longterm to replace their human drivers with self-driving cars, yes? Hell, both of them operate on the "press a button on your phone, car arrives and drives you to your destination, then leaves" business model I was talking about that you claimed was so terrible. LinkPizza posted... They seem possibly worse than Vivint (the security company)... On what metric? LinkPizza posted... Apparently, it use to be good like over 5 years ago. Sounds like the issue is not the business model, but its implementation then. You just admitted this sort of business can be successful, so the rest of your protests on this point are basically meaningless. Thanks for the concession. LinkPizza posted... The context is literally there. Next time, maybe read more than one sentence. Because the context maybe in the very next sentence. The context was not in the very next sentence, because you literally just had to go back to one of my previous quotes to explain what you were responding to, something you should have done in the first place. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:954206647] in Controvers...
