| Topic | How do you feel about SELF-DRIVING CARS? |

And possibly losing money because of "the more than plan for accidents and such?" as long as the overall death-rate is significantly less than human driven cars, we'd accept it. a quick google search says that "nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day". whereas it seems the number of deaths in commercial airlines in 2017 was actually zero. so, as long as self-driven cars are significantly less than ~3,300 deaths per day on average, which is pretty fucking horrible, it'd be worth it. which means that it doesn't matter all that much how well they handle the worst situations, or even if *they crash regularly*, if there's like ~1000 deaths per day average instead, we'd take it. which means they *won't* be perfect, and there *will* be horrible self-driven car accidents, but it will be acceptable. --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
