Self driving Uber vehicle kills pedestrian

[vorlon13]

The only problem that I have with self driving cars is that they will take away a lot of jobs.

So, you support federal subsidies for manufacturing buggy whips and slide rules ?

How many people we want to impoverish paying taxes to support people without marketable skills indefinitely??

Rather see displaced professional drivers retrained (at public expense) for better career options. Driverless cars are coming out slowly enough now, if people would stop choosing 'driving' as a job, natural attrition might carry through for quite a while. This is entirely foreseeable issue and if we had a well managed congress this transition could be virtually painless.

A good way of How Not To Do It (that should be avoided) would be like the dems telling the coal miners (and their bundled union campaign political contributions) to Go Fuck Yourselves and You Filthy Coal Too. That could certainly have been handled BETTER. To this day, it remains to be ascertained if Dem leadership learned anything from that self inflicted wound. The rest of us can be smarter.
