"You have no proof of that." LinkPizza posted... And trust drops as more comes out, apparently... You have no proof that trend will continue. LinkPizza posted... Not everyone is going to fire people just because they could get a self-driving vehicle. You have no proof of that. LinkPizza posted... But people would just probably rather drive themselves. "Probably" meaning you don't actually know. LinkPizza posted... You say numbers will rapidly drop on people disliking self-driving cars, but probably not. You have no proof of that. LinkPizza posted... Like the article said, many won't even get into them. Yes... because they're not common yet. I already explained this to you. Most people didn't think they would ever use a cell phone or a computer when those came out (hell, I never thought I'd own a cell phone in my life back in the early 90s). Many people thought online banking was risky (my father refused to use any digital payment service until about 10 years ago because he was worried about getting "hacked"). Those objections last until the initial pioneers show that the technology isn't remotely as unsafe or unreliable as the naysayers claim and people start to trust them. That is how it's worked in the past, that is how it will continue to work with self-driving cars. LinkPizza posted... Not only that, but I even showed an article that said people are getting less trusting as more comes out. Again, it's novel tech. New tech comes in three phases - the "new and mysterious phase" where trust is high because most people don't know about the tech enough to form an opinion, the "I don't trust it" phase where people's natural aversion to new things comes into play, and the "normalization" phase where people realize it's actually fine. We're in that second phase now. We see that with plenty of scientific advancements, from nuclear science to telephones (fun fact: telephones were once seen as hugely controversial because conservatives believed women would use them to cheat on their husbands when they weren't home) to wifi (anyone remember the "wifi causes cancer" nonsense?). --- 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:954553380] in Controvers...
