What a weird article. As an avid cyclist, I would love self-driving cars to eventually take over the roads as I do believe they will eventually be safer than the humans with phones in their hands.
But I also think Tesla has singlehandedly wrecked the public perception of self-driving cars with their recklessness and disregard for human life, and faking statistics to try to legalize their self-driving mode: https://www.reuters.com/world/tesla-presented-misleading-ful...
Separately, I'd be pissed if my lawmaker tried to make this argument:
> New York state Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D–Bronx) wants a law that says motor vehicles for hire "shall not be…operated by an automated driving system without a human driver…seated behind the steering wheel and engaged in the task of driving."
> He says the state must protect immigrant taxi and Uber drivers who live in his district.

the old 'we must trade freedom for safety' argument, so hot right now
Freedom? What freedom is being lost, exactly?
