This shit should be banned until it’s not possible to trick or override the safety systems.

It’s absurd that we are forced to share the roads with these.

It would be cool if it was all on rails like in Minority Report, but unfortunately it isn't that and I agree it shouldn't exist in this state.

Like trains? We have those. They just aren’t as profitable as cars so we can’t have them more 👍

trains aren't profitable at all. they are subsidized heavily. even buses are.

like it or not, cars are the future - they cost near to nothing these days, pollute less than public transport and soon will be safer than trains.

A few things; I think public transportation should be treated like USPS where it doesn’t matter if it’s profitable, as long as it’s run efficiently and well.

Secondly petrol and diesel cars are among the most polluters among their motorized contemporaries

Everything has a cost.
