You should back those things up with more than “because I said so” is what you should do.

This conspiracy theory doesn’t make much sense to me. If they wanted to they could have just gave him probation and sent him on his way, right? Why go through this convoluted path of charging him and convicting him, and let him go?

Am I misunderstanding you? It feels like I’m misunderstanding you.

I’m not sure your second point is as strong as you believe it to be. Do you have a specific example in mind? I think most vehicle problems that would require an emergency responder will have easy access to a tow service to deal with the car with or without a human being involved. It’s not like just because a human is there that the problem is more easily solved. For minor-to-moderate accidents that just require a police report, things might get messy but that’s an issue with the law, not necessarily something inherently wrong with the concept of self driving vehicles.

Also, your first point is on shaky ground, I think. I don’t know why the metric is accidents with fatalities, but since that’s what you used, what do you think having fewer humans involved does to the chance of killing a human?

I’m all for numbers being crunched, and to be clear (as you were, I think) the numbers are the real deciding metrics here, not thought experiments.

And I think it’s 100% true that autonomous transportation doesn’t have to be perfect, just better than humans. Not that you disagree with this, but it is probably what people are thinking when they say “humans do this too”.

I appreciate what you mean but the idea that human rights aren’t granted is just a philosophy, not something that actually matches reality.

That is to say, whether I agree with your premise or not doesn’t change reality at all.

Wait… our national parks are the example you came up with?

What about our system do you think qualifies at “working”?

That’s probably a typo, read the title.

And speaking of this weak ass defense you’ve got going, let’s take it one step higher. Do you think developing countries should use America as the shining example of what to be? Surely there are better countries in the world to strive to emulate than America.

How sure are you? If licenses were such valuable troves of information, surely one person would have thought of a small hidden camera, right?

Double check the OPs question.

The whole country is impacted when rights are stripped from anyone. Look at what you’re saying: If some people are living a good life then it can’t be all that bad. Well, Elon Musk is living a pretty swell life so it doesn’t matter how many homeless people die in the street from hunger tonight, right? I know it’s kind of jumping the shark, but your rationale would call America “not that bad” if slavery were still allowed nationally but forbidden, in some states, right?

We should be judged by what those that have allow to happen to those that have not. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Dude you’re not going to get through this with shitty wordplay. They did in fact lose a US constitutional right. This isn’t a debatable statement, it is a fact.

What is your end game here?

You don’t think there is a camera aimed at the register?

It is true that 50% of the population lost this constitutional right.

Dude take 30 seconds and google it. Yes some of these places don’t have exceptions for rape and incest.

Look at you being the *chef’s kiss* perfect example of what I’m talking about. Why should anyone take your word on how great or not great America is when you’re this misinformed.

I mean, case in point: someone replied to my comment apparently not knowing abortion is banned in places in America. I don’t even understand how that’s possible it was everywhere on the news for months.

Do you really need me to Google this for you?

Stricter than a complete ban?

You skipped over the whole 50% of the population lost the constitutional right to control their own body.

You skipped over a lot of stuff.

America is pretty bad, and we’ll never get better if everyone keeps insisting we’re not that bad.

Oh. I was thinking private like a password.

I’m sorry but I’m not following your point. I’m questioning whether the info on a license is really “private info”. I am not suggesting that people be forced to give Twitter their ID

That’s not any working definitely of private information I’ve ever seen.

We’re talking about privacy in the context of information security.

Edit: for context, I’m not questioning whether people must give their ID to Twitter.
