We could just not allow autonomous vehicles.

Yeah, but they don't need to react within seconds when there is a problem. They can zone out and nothing bad will happen.
A driver-operator needs to be hyper vigilant at all times and react within seconds to any problems because at any moment the software could fuck up and kill someone.
Yeah, part of my job making car parts is as an operator for a cell. Im constantly moving, troubleshooting, doing minor maintenance, and actively engaged in the process.
A driver-operator would be sitting down doing mostly nothing. Totally different
It turns out that normal and common opinions remain so regardless of what servers you use. Shocking!
"More likely" is not likely. Autonomous vehicles shouldn't be allowed on the road at all.
It wouldn't really be self reflection, because these people don't really believe the nonsense they say.
When they say the government is going to stay locked down forever, they don't mean it literally. To them "lock down" is a vibe and "government" is a vague Them that controls the world. As long as the vibes are fucked and They are in charge, it feels correct.
That's fair, but I was more concerned about an accident being caused where the "driver" has seconds to react to a mistake the car is making. After sitting doing nothing for hours there's no way they'd be attentive until it's too late.
Tractors aren't traffic. That's clearly very different.
Student driver teachers, meanwhile, are teaching. That's more than simply watching for mistakes, which would be an inhumanly boring job that I honestly don't think anyone could do.
I'm sorry, but do people actually think human drivers in autonomous vehicles will make them safe?
Imagine sitting and watching a robot do its job for hours - do you think you'd be attentive to safety problems after all that time?
"But we refuse to train those students after school or allow them to go back to college for free."
That sounds like the premise for a whacky romantic comedy - someone has to go on a bunch of dates with strangers because their AI is a flirt, ranging across all ages and body types and genders.
Then in the end the main character realizes their sextbot was the one they were in love with the entire time!
Not until they're safe. The tech isn't there yet.
There's no reason to bother with autonomous vehicles if we're just going to have human drivers anyway.
