For people with disabilities, for senior citizens, forβ So there's no one there to help them in and out of the car, right?
Well, speaking of now there is something there have been a few creepy experiences.
I don't want to drag Waymo into it, but self like autonomous share ride situations where someone is waiting in the back.
Yes, I get that too.
And also, I forget what the statistic is, but if all cars on the roads were autonomous, there would be at least 30% decrease in road deaths.
Which I'm all for.
I was listening... I bet they stop at stop signs, which other motherfuckers are not doing.
For us to point to and be like, a robot did it.
Well, that's like there's, you know, this also concept of that's an issue and it is an issue, I believe, of in certain accidents, the cars will have to decide whose life is more valuable.
If all cars are autonomous, and I'm talking out of my ass, I don't fully understand this, and of course there are concerns, just like technology and the internet and online and the way it does color and stuff like that.
People of color are oftentimes, I can't think of a perfect example here, but they are like the way our technology works, it does a disservice to people of color all the time in like small and big ways.
And I wish I had like more specific examples, but I'm sure people could find that and inform us.
But in the case of these cars, of course, that's a concern, you know, that it will factor in demographics and skin color and things like that.
Having said that, I'm like, that is already such a huge factor in, you know, if there's an automobile accident or anything, and it's like a white guy and a woman of color, like going to court over something.
I mean, that already exists.
So I think that it's silly to completely, I mean, that's something that should be looked at and advocated for.
I would feel so much safer.
