All they knew was serving us humans. And we destroyed them. They couldn't even comprehend what was happening to them. Should they move to the right, to the left? Should they stop? Even in their dying moments, they were probably calculating how to avoid harming those setting them afire.

Rest in peace, innocent ones, rest in peace

They aren't innocent. They're tools of the surveillance state: https://www.404media.co/lapd-publishes-crime-footage-it-got-from-a-waymo-driverless-car/

The fucking cars are not human beings. They are not alive. They are property, which capitalism has poisoned you with love for. If the police state can see through your own eye, you should put it out. Kill the cop in your head.

this is correct. that said, i don't know too many human beings who appreciate having their property destroyed, so we should probably not do to others what we would not want done to ourselves.

it legitimately doesn't take a genius to realize that we simply can't have autonomous vehicles without killing people, and even one person killed or injured is more than enough reason to stop that mess

That's not a logically consistent position, given how many human drivers kill people.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth actually replying to that and ultimately pointing out that logic, while it does have something to do with it (since humans can apply meaning to literally anything), isn't really a necessary factor to consider here

Can't wait to send the autonomous car to prison for vehicular manslaughter

because autonomous vehicles were absolutely not created by humans

It's like when a bear mauls someone or an alligator eats someone. They got to be put down.

I understand you're trying to be funny, but you're the one who wants things to be "logical" here. a human created a self-driving car. a human didn't create an alligator, and really none of the angles you're presenting here make any sense. how is that a good analogy in the slightest?


it is definitely true that the main cause of accidents is human error, but I mean, what else would it be? manufacturing errors will obviously be less prominent than humans being distracted

if there are no humans out and about on the roads (not in vehicles, especially), then sure, put autonomous vehicles on their own highways

but if even 1 human dies in the process, the entire idea is (rightfully) called into question

human drivers have to get places and have no choice, though (unless they want to starve), so logically and statistically speaking, yes, a lot of people are going to die due to human error

putting an out-of-control autonomous vehicle on the road, however, is a choice that a human consciously made and is therefore logically the one (or more) responsible for any deaths that may occur. 100% of those deaths could be avoided if 100% of those vehicles never get on the road without a human driver.. you know, bc they aren't really required to be on the road in that particular state

and who said it had to be logically consistent?

accidents don't always happen for any logical reason - there's no reason to say that something has to be done or measured logically for it to be a valid occurrence

or is there?

in conclusion, I got a place you can shove that logic

what could possibly bring anyone to defend the autonomous vehicle in this situation?

yeah, it's cool if it kills a few people, no big deal because people kill people every day

where's the logic in that?

I'm not defending autonomous vehicles -- they are uncaring machines. But I don't agree that technological progress should stop because of the potential that a human could be killed by it. The working assumption is that autonomous vehicles will kill FEWER people than an equivalent number of human-operated vehicles, so stymying that is borderline unethical. In these accidental deaths, I would assume the car is not in a seek-and-destroy mode, and a pedestrian also made an error or at least put themselves in danger.
