Uh huh. Few major problems with your thoughts.

If they start trying to disable manual driving I’ll oppose that too.

I didn’t agree to be part of letting a lot of people on the road with poor driving abilities either. But there they are, driving drunk into minivans. I’d rather a drunk driver’s car automatically stop him from rear ending my family some of the time rather than zero percent of the time.

Oh man, I wish I was Elon, then I could just retire with my billions and not give a fuck about the world. But as it is I have to worry about people like you trying to censor my life because you think you are a better judge of my life than me. If I want to use autopilot that is my call, not yours to make on my behalf.…

Like the term “Safety” on a firearm you mean? You know how much sympathy I have for adults who discharge a firearm because they didn’t understand what it did before touching it? Zero.

That would be immoral to go “hey, statistically this cuts down on deaths, but it gives us bad press if an idiot decides to ignore what we say and kill himself, so you have to die in a firy wreck so our PR department is happy”.

Feel free to not use it on your own car. I don’t like this idea of keeping things from people because some idiots can’t handle them. I also own a firearm despite many, many idiots not being able to safely use one who are apparently deeply misled by the limits of what a “safety” is on a firearm.

that is a big assumption that autopilot was even on. Putting aside common driver error where this happens, the kid may have thought Autopilot was always on and found out it wasn’t. This could have been the kid testing a system that wasn’t on.

I didn’t know that, the joke that autopilot flies itself is from the 80's, it part of the movie Airplane!

If they change ahead of you, even 2 inches (ie cut you off) its your responsibility not to rear end them.

Common Law marriage exists anywhere that has a common law basis (rather than Roman or Napoleonic Code, so Louisiana and Quebec are out in North America) AND a case was brought up at some point prior to statute laws on marriage that resulted in a judge concluding two individuals were married (thus their precedent was…

Tough. You also can’t refuse to make a wedding cake as a baker. If you want to turn your house into a business you have to abide by the same business rules as everyone else. That means taxes, anti-discriminatory policies, following health code, and serving screaming middle aged white people who demand to speak to your…
