There are so many things to say about this
subject. As a full time truck driver and as
all of you know there are infinite
possibilities that could happen. Human
reaction can be fast or slow depending on
the situation. What happens when the
computer doesn't react fast enough? Who is
at fault for that? Depends on situation.
And an area where many precedents will get
set.

As a more abstract line of thinking, I
halfway blame Hollywood and the like. As
the movies flirt with new ideas with
technology (and other aspects), people
expect these things to become reality. Cell
phones, wireless-everythings, flying cars,
self driving cars, robots, AI, fun desk
jobs... Ha you get my point. Obviously this
has been going on for decades. And we are
just a part of a long history of
technological advances. They always create
new problems and I guess it'll probably get
better and better eventually.

We don't like it. I can't imagine anything
better than my wife by my side scooted
right next to me in my pickup driving
around the country side waving at neighbors
checking fields while Merle is hanging out
the passenger window ready to bark at any
animal that's not him.

I like to MANUALLY drive my vehicles. If
something goes wrong then there's nobody to
blame but me. But I do see the other side
of the argument where many people who are
pathetic and refuse to learn to responsibly
handle their PRIVILEGE of driving are all
for it and will probably be less accidents
and tickets for them in the long run.

It feels like we will inevitably be forced
to conform to this change in the long run
and that's not at all appealing, in my
opinion. It violates our upbringing of
responsibility for our own actions and
honestly I worry that my own future
children will never get to experience the
same way.

In my opinion.

Josh
