They probably said that about airplanes once, and now look at them. Humans take off and lane, but the rest of the journey is driverless. They still have to constantly be monitoring the situation in case something happened. We've been doing it for decades and it works fine. That's the next step in semi-autonomous cars.

I'm not sure why people keep saying this. Other than being agonizingly slow drivers I've rarely had problems with the elderly. The worst drivers I encounter on a regular basis are young. They're impulsive and too arrogant to realize how incompetent they are.

How old are you ? 15 ? Where do you live ? America ? Do you understand how low is your IQ ? Imbécile.

I came to the comments expecting a massive shit show, but it looks like I'm early. I'll check again in the afternoon.

RU OK?

As a complete outside reading about something on jezebel I am curious for more details, the author is neither my friend nor someone I know, so I'm assuming she isn't posting here for a pat on the back, but rather voicing an opinion. If a friend said they were getting a divorce I would be completely supportive and only…

Plenty of people have replied that you should stop judging, but I don't think this was your intention.

"Please read my long piece on my divorce. Which is none of your business."

I'm guessing that if you aren't willing to answer questions about a divorce, maybe you don't write and publish an article about said divorce? If I were discussing underwear with a stranger, I certainly wouldn't begrudge them their curiosity about the color of my own. But what a wonderfully condescending response.…

Honestly... yes.

What in God's name is wrong with you? Did a pack of rabid bronies burn your village and abscond with your cattle? Did the vicious brony hordes sweep down from the desolate north and bring with them weeping and fire and sword?

I'd like to correct some technical data which is incorrect, if I may. Now, before I get started, I should let it be known that clearly the outcome still exists (the man is injured). Even though all that water weighed 3300 pounds, it's not accurate to say 'imagine dropping a Toyota Camry on yourself from 22 feet…

It's because of increased gay acceptance. Closeted gay teens were always one of the most likely groups to get pregnant or get another teen pregnant. Now that being gay has less stigma they have less pressure to have hetero bareback sex to "prove" their straightness.

I think kids are more sophisticated these days (and therefore more pessimistic and weary) and are not kidding themselves about how miserable things can be.

I read speculation that, like the drop in violent crime, it could be related to the dramatic drop in childhood lead exposure when leaded gasoline was done away with. Basically, it boils down to being less impulsive as a society because we aren't all slightly brain damaged by our environment.

I was thinking along those lines too. It may not be the only factor but it may contribute. I have heard that teenagers don't hang out in malls anymore. They can just stay home and communicate and entertain themselves using the internet. Maybe that lead to less teenage sex?

I think for some people, they can have a civil discussion and just agree to disagree and leave it. Some unicorn people. I cannot do that, I create a pearl of outrage and piss and anger if I try to "agree to disagree" about something I really, really care about. It surfaces later with a greater intensity. Because I…

Did anyone else read that as the Olympic DRIVING Team?
