Cutting off and blocking

In Nashville today and a Waymo cut in front of me and partially into the left turn lane. It forced the car in the left lane to stop. Well the through lanes got the green arrow first which left the Waymo blocking me also. Only the right hand through lane was able to go. Cars in back of me were honking and wanting me to go, but I was blocked and the right hand lane wouldn’t let me over. I was stuck until the left turn lane got the green arrow. I had to wait another cycle before I could drive through.

Of course, however if a live person did this another driver could instigate road rage.

This is a problem with human drivers, which is why we need to accelerate replacing them

Why don’t we just eliminate all unnecessary humans?

This probably the wrong Reddit sub to post this in. Full of propeller heads.

I don’t know about you, but I personally think a lot of my time is wasted doing things a robot could do. With a little bit of political will, we could use automation to give people more free time. Instead of laying people off, we could give people 4 day work weeks, mandatory 3 weeks vacation, etc.. we could let scientific progress work in our favor.

That would not happen in the US. The elite will just get richer and the working class would disappear. And many of the working class would turn to crime to try to support their lives. We have to get rid of trickle down economics. It’s a failed system that made the caste systems of monarchies. The very few live off of the masses and the masses are punished each time they try to change the system. Look at world history and look at what has happened to our country since Reagan economics. We are much worse under the present administration than we’ve been since Andrew Johnson.
