"Expect to see Waymo of this in the future," one commenter joked about the situation, employing a play on words with the Waymo company name. "The act of destruction has become an artistic expression," expressed another, "While a Waymo, set ablaze driving itself through the streets, might not yet be the pinnacle of performance art, it is entertaining." Those with the most to lose from the spread of self-driving AI cars are citizens, suggested another, "because self-driving cars dictate what you can bring into them and where you can go." Another asked who would be culpable in a case involving a self-driving car whose passenger(s) commit a crime. "Would the car company, the engineers, or the programmers be charged as accessory to the crime?" this person asked. "I mean, if the legal process in some states allows the gun manufacturer to be sued based on criminal behavior, and tobacco companies were sued because their cigarettes were "addictive," and pharmaceutical companies are sued when their vaccines cause harm ... oh wait, never mind." Still another said he is more concerned about human drivers these days, whom he described as "alcohol-impaired cell phone addicts." "Who has time to actually drive a vehicle these days?" this jaded person continued. "Driverless cars do not suffer from road rage. They might create some, however." The world is growing weary of the AI-driven tech revolution and what it is doing to humanity and society at large. Find out more at Transhumanism.news.
