MoeFOH Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 "right" as in "yes" I believe this will be the case. "wrong" in other ways. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

421eme Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The way of the Liberal World Regime would have all of us be sheep for their bidding. Everything is bad for you, so we'll tax you to death, then tax what it costs to have a funeral as well. I weep for the future for my daughter!

Ken Gargett Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 we now live in a world where the winners of the soccer cups in england can no longer crack a champagne and spray it around in case that image and use of alcohol offends some. they'll get a non-alcoholic replacement instead. unbelievable. mind you, the officials don't mind taking sponsorship money from alcohol producers, including champagne houses. which pretty much sums up everything. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I voted "Right" as in I think people will want to vote to make it illegal. Now whether that will actually occurs depends on whether Asimov got it right, or we're all living under the oppression of Skynet or the Sentinels.

Little by little the temperature of the water rises a fraction more while the frog just sits there, apparently and perhaps even wilfully oblivious. We know very well what decisions like this are all about, but we're not allowed to say it of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBoot Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Voted “right”, but my not personal belief, I believe most are so scared of tragedy they are willing to sacrifice all their freedoms to be “safe”. No offense of course, just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckymtn22 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 “I’m very convinced... In the future, people goverments will want to outlaw people driving their own cars because they’ll be unsafe.” That is what the statement probably should say. With back-up cameras be legislated and soon adaptive cruise control, automatic braking and blind spot monitoring, as soon as self driving cars are perfected it is only a matter of time before the nanny governments are forced to take action. I don't agree with this but can see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Puffer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think he's just trying to boost Tesla's stock price and reinforce his "robotaxi" concept. He should worry a little more about the 33% decrease in Model 3 orders for Q1 2019. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99call Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 7 hours ago, El Presidente said: unsafe As much as I would like to keep personal freedoms in tact, the sad state of affairs is that the standard of driving instructors, those who monitor driving instructors, and the non-present police (here in the UK) means people are driving like they are in Saudi Arabia. If things would of remained how they were a good 25yrs ago, I'd be super pissed off if legislation came in to automate the driving of cars.......but as it stands, theres a good 30% of road users in the UK, that I'm convinced got someone to take their test for them....and drive their car like riding a horse. i.e. over taking from either side, no indicating, tailgating, drifting between lanes like they've fallen asleep at the wheel........the list goes on Instead of automation of safety, I would much prefer non removable dashcams, that have the in-built technology to record and issue driving offences. This way we get all of the maniacs off the road, and the people that deserve a driving license, keep them, and keep their freedoms in tact.

You'd be surprised what a Tesla (and I am by no means a fanboy) can do today already. I've also had the privilege to ride in several autonomous test vehicles through my work and it is amazing. We are only a few years away - the biggest hurdle is regulation, not the technology. 2020, however, is completely out of the question. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
