The June 12 Economy & Business article "Driving a risky message? " rightly brought up concerns that consumers and experts have with Tesla's Autopilot, citing two fatal crashes and a video of a driver who is "seemingly not paying attention or falling asleep." Empirical evidence proves that humans fail the test of responsibility.

This is the simple reason Autopilot is a liability on the road. Despite efforts to enforce alertness, laziness and complacency are human nature. Even the "three strikes" and warning systems aren't foolproof. Granted, this problem is not unique: Statistics show traffic accidents are alarmingly frequent. But we're not ready to turn responsibility over to computers. People have always been driving at their own risk. For better or for worse, anyone who enters a car accepts that his or her safety depends on other drivers' imperfect ability to avoid collisions. When technology advertising "full self-driving capability" enters the market, this social contract will be attenuated as recklessness increases. It may be true that self-driving is safer than human drivers, as Tesla claims. Ultimately, it's difficult to make judgments in a field in which human lives are at risk. Efforts to make roads safer should be respected but accepted cautiously.

As Elon Musk promises 'full self-driving,' experts worry Tesla is 'using consumers as guinea pigs'

Like bad weather we'll always have those that want to turn the clock back. Thankfully we move forward to driverless autos that don't consume alcohol, don't shoot and rape passengers. The naysayers and fear monger of the 1900 towards the first automobiles are now here again naysaying and fearing technology of SDC.

Horses and Autonomous cars are having one very important thing in common - the human is not in full control, so Self Driving Cars are more like the past and the horses, and less like the cars on the roads today.

If one accepts the horse being intelligent to a certain level, and the self driving software the "intelligence" (also to certain level) moving the robot around, we certainly understand Self Driving advocates want the humanity to move backwards instead of going forwards.

Let's take a closer look to what happened here

The wealthy, governments and insurance companies want SDC
and SDC the world will get, doesn’t matter how my deaths, crashes or posting u do, period

Swing at all the windmill monsters u like.

SDC is here, it’s growing, it’s being perfected and if some die during this maturation it won’t slow down the juggernaut.

your anti technology clap trap is similar to anti indoor plumbing, anti horseless carriage, anti electricity, anti telephone, anti airplane, anti computers and on and on and on

Some want to keep civilization in the stone age because of their own FEARS
