I was kinda blown away by how many Waymo vehicles we saw in San Francisco a few weeks ago. Honestly, I'm not opposed to driverless cars. Not because I think they are safe, but because I am not convinced they are less safe than the average driver.

Here's my caveat. Owners of these cars should be held to account for any damage they cause. They will cause damage. I'm not convinced that will happen because of how deeply corporations have embedded themselves into the state.

Also, I think many people lump the kind of AI / Compute used in chatbots with that in these cars. They are very different. I have yet to ride in one of these cars but I'm not opposed to doing so in principle. But, I'd rather drive myself. Having ridden in cabs and other cars with other drivers is a big risk depending on the driver. The self-driving car is no different. I don't trust Elon. I'd need to see a pretty good track record to get in one of his cars.
