BBC takes a cruise in a Cruise driverless cab in SF, to mixed reviews. Certainly not relaxing.

Operating a vehicle and driving is what makes driving fun. When you get AI, software, electronics to do all the work it just becomes a dull boring experience. Just as dull and boring as an indoor trainer. Artificial dystopia and living an illusion is the future of human race.

I believe the ultimate goal of science is to get the human race to a place where they don't have to go outside or perform any type of physical activity or use their brain and their human senses and emotions. Just let robots and AI do everything...So yeah I don't support self-driving car's and I also don't support EVs.

Wow .... there are so many people who don't know that, and ifn fact are thrilled by the prospect of being able to surf the web, watch videos, chat, and do actual work during their commutes or shopping trips. There are so many ignorant people who want to watch the beautiful scenery go by when traveling long distances on vacations and such ... missing out on all the joys of holding down the accelerator turning the wheel to stay in one lane.
Really, wolfy, you need to get big on social media so everyone will know how to live.

What I find most tedious are endless miles of straight highway, with or without traffic. Fortunately my car can drive those by itself.

As someone who works in a tech-adjacent field, I can say that almost everything is far more complicated than the tech bros first imagined.
Yes, we definitely need more stringent AND periodic driver testing.
