Here is where l/fuckcars and l/fuckai meet.
Insurance fees is what will drive adoption of self-driving cars.
I've been saying that for 5 years, people will have a "choice" of course but it'll be a luxury to analog a car in 25 years--for many good reasons. The data since 2007, when the iPhone hit the market dramatically worsened---at an unprecedented and accelerating rate. Humans should not be driving when they are overworked, anxious or depressed as hell and insanely distracted with digital addiction.
The horrifying part is a fascist bitch who owns Tesla looks to have elbowed his way to having the best seat to potentially dominate self-driving.
First we need consumer grade self-driving capable vehicles with full LIDAR. Tesla's implementation of camera based self-driving is physically incapable of adequately fulfilling that promise. I have seen Waymo Jags navigate extremely well the clusterfuck that are Austin streets. We need that but at a price people can afford.
or, like... not cars.
You're posting rage bait on a platform where people can be banned for giving you the replies you deserve.
I wish you'd ping me with something like this on nostr so I could respond fairly
