SELF-DRIVING TECHNOLOGY SHOULD BE STANDARDIZED AND OPEN SOURCE.

Any other implementation puts profits over human lives.

But on the other hand, if we don't do that, we can have a whole new level of industrial espionage where Hyundai targets Toyota vehicles to make them seem less safe and take over a wider market share.

Won't somebody think of the shareholders?

Whenever I think the world has gotten bleak, I remind myself that the Shareholders' value is being maximized to the exclusion of all other priorities. An American tear flows down my face as the stonk line goes up. Bless the shareholders.

/s if it wasn't obvious.

This is actually funny. Imagine some automobile vendor misbehaving in some way and all other self-driving cars make a beeline for them just to ruin their crash statistics.

How many out you would subscribe to an anti-tailgater feature though?

Just build trains...

Trains are awesome and I fully support them but let's not be idealistic here and pretend that true self driving cars will never happen.

Edit: jokes on you! I made a grammatical correction that makes your reply IRRELEVANT. 😉
