Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

For people with disabilities, for senior citizens, forβ€” So there's no one there to help them in and out of the car, right?

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

Well, speaking of now there is something there have been a few creepy experiences.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

I don't want to drag Waymo into it, but self like autonomous share ride situations where someone is waiting in the back.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

Yes, I get that too.

200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

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.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

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.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

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.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

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.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

And I wish I had like more specific examples, but I'm sure people could find that and inform us.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

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.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

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.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

I mean, that already exists.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

So I think that it's silly to completely, I mean, that's something that should be looked at and advocated for.

Nobody's Listening, Right?
200 - Saint Nick and The Ick

I would feel so much safer.
