I would rather take a bullet than be a luddite who gets in the way of technological advancement on "the flimsiest of grounds."


> be a luddite who gets in the way of technological advancement on "the flimsiest of grounds”

Blocking a technology is Luddism. Blocking a company is politics.


The choice isn't a bullet it's getting smashed by a "robo" taxi.

And no you wouldn't.


I'm perfectly happy to take the risk of getting smashed by a robo taxi, and I do every day. Getting smashed by a robo taxi is actually a bit better than getting smashed by a human driver because at least in the case of getting smashed by the robo taxi the crash data goes into improving the system in the future.


Doubt.
