I can't wait for self driving to become the norm

I hate the waste of travel time as a driver. I'd love to take a nap, work on something. Read a book...anything. Also I would love to not hear feedback on my driving from my motion-sick HCBW. I do drive too fast but I don't like to be late. Haven't had an accident for 38 years though.

No glitch needed. Its the trolley problem- and it will have to be pre-determined who dies-

I wouldn’t want to die for any reason. But if I were put in a situation where

I’ve saved myself and passengers multiple times with my sweet driving skills.

There are many, many situations where defensive driving won’t do a thing

A good driver’s reaction time is only as good as a human’s can be. A computer’s

Some good human drivers are better than self-driving cars.

I bet you actually stink at driving

Uhh…that’s actually exactly one of the things you can definitively prove

Okay. Try it.

You can’t prove it’s false either though

I’ve always believed, the people who get to live should be the best drivers

I would really like it if you get a DUI and they say, ok, no more steering wheel
