@Demolishun that’s where self driving (flying?) cars come in :)

@Demolishun why imagine? Preorder one!

@Demolishun so are busses. But why accept collateral casualties to kill one guy if you just can kill one guy? :)

@Demolishun See, better to have self flying cars for that kind if business :)

@retoor ooo I wanna be the new illuminati...

do we even have any aligned goals or dispositions smh. we argue a lot amongst ourselves

@Demolishun you don't drive the flying cars. they're automated with automated flight coordination software. would be most efficient way to do it. would reduce accidents

currently air traffic controllers is a very difficult job with a lot of cognitive load, so few qualify for it. but a computer can do it better

@Demolishun oh yeah definitely automated cars will be used to kill people

they shouldn't be networked. hacker paradise. tho ur right it won't be the hackers killing you

.. and yeah they murder so many people of interest with planes. so many instances

@Demolishun

I've just finished watching 1984. Don't mention that, please.

> I saw a Tesla try to drive <...>

yeah, but these are assistive technologies, not autonomous, aren't they? As I was test-driving various new cars before purchasing one, all of them had those. And they insisted me on keeping my hands on the wheel, or else they would start making noises and lights and draw my attention shaking me. Sooo.. if you misuse an assisting as an autonomous one, there's no one really to blame.

@jestdotty @Demolishun I'm surprised you guys aren't aware that you can do that already with gasoline cars, have been able to do so for nearly a decade now if I'm remembering my dates right. A lot of your car is controlled by electronics, and most of them have some form of uplink/bus that can be hijacked (and yes that includes break line/fluid and wheels)

@Demolishun new car will be selling separate features like butt heating for more money than your old car is worth, which had this all inclusive.
