    Oh, well THANK GOD, no human driver has ever been known to block traffic or hold up emergency vehicles!

    What saints you all are for protecting the right of people to work thankless taxi jobs, and have the number one cause of preventable death be traffic fatalities. Nothing could be more noble than preserving the status quo!

      I want as few cars as possible, mixed zoning, and walkable cities.I don’t believe in a technocentris utopia. I want more quality relationships, and technology in our lives to be more restrained. I am in no way an advocate for the status quo (which by all accounts is AI and robot cars). Robot cars are a step in the wrong direction.

        agreed.

        Robot cars are a step in the wrong direction.

        You’ve made no argument as to why, or why the alternative of human drivers killing millions is better?
