    The same people who are upset over self driving cars are the ones who scream at the self checkout that they shouldn’t have to scan their own groceries because the store isn’t paying them.

    32% of all traffic crash fatalities in the United States involve drunk drivers.

    I can’t wait until the day that this kind of technology is required by law I’m tired of sharing the road with these idiots and I absolutely trust self driving vehicles more than I trust other humans.

      I’ve never heard of anyone screaming because they had to scan their own groceries at a self-checkout. Is this a common thing?

        No. No idea what they’re talking about. If someone really feels that way, there are usually other aisles with people that can scan the groceries.

      If you are talking about Teslas, you can’t be upset about something a car doesn’t actually do unless you think it’s actually capable of doing it.

      The only thing I don’t like is that Tesla is able to claim it has a “full self driving” mode which is not full self driving. Seems like false advertising to me.

      I recently learned that at least half of the drivers where I live thing it’s fine to cut me off while we are going 70mph on the highway with no signal
