This whole self-driving car thing on public roads is starting to look more and more like a massive beta-test.
A beta-test in which the participants cannot either opt to be a participant in, or opt out of.
Big-Tech gone amok. Again.
Yet again.

I think most things will be AI in the next 20 or 30 years ; definitely in the later half of this century. All tractor-trailer trucks, jet-travel, and personal vehicles will be AI. However, at the present time, my advice to young people....Wait till they get the bugs out!

And there will be no accountability or redress for the false information masquerading as truth, and Republicans will call it a victory for freedom of speech. Just like they do today.
You have never heard a Republican defend freedom of speech when it isn't speaking Nazi propaganda, and you never will.
