The point was its not a slap in the face to everybody who has lost someone.

I didn't say it was to "everybody". That said, cars kill ~40,000 people every single year in the US alone - don't you think cutting down on that statistic is something we should be aiming for?

Again, making some assumptions.

Of course I'm making assumptions, because it's impossible to have this conversation unless you do that. You're also making assumptions - specifically, that these vehicles won't become widespread in your lifetime, despite the fact that the government's own estimates suggest there will be millions on the road in the next decade.

Youre also assuming Im going to live to be old.

People who assume they're going to die young often wind up impoverished in their later years. I don't recommend that mindset.

And that will pretty much collapse everything...

It very well could, if we don't prepare for it.

So let's stop complaining and start figuring out how to stave off that collapse. Something more realistic than, "Let's just not let technology advance any further."

I'm curious, how old are you both (LinkPizza & Darkknight109) and what profession/industry are you in.

I don't generally give out my age online. I will say that I'm older than LinkPizza and I'm an engineer (specifically in the energy/oil and gas industry).
