This is very true, but if you had to choose between two microwaves, one of which had a button that occasionally killed people and one which did not, which would you choose? Personally I would feel better buying a microwave that doesn't have the option to decapitate me, even if I would never press it.

Are you proposing that other cars' lane-keep software is better? I guess you're going to figure this out somehow before buying your next car?

I'm proposing that less technologically advanced and software focused cars are less likely to unexpectedly swerve into incoming traffic for sure

Do you not do research and read reviews before making large possibly life-changing purchases?

Lane-keeping is a pretty common feature in new cars these days. That is the 'technologically advanced' feature that we're talking about. You're going to avoid all of them?

That's strange, why are you talking about lane keeping? I said I don't want a car with self driving capabilities that kill you.

I think you know that's a false equivalence, both because every control in a car has the possibility of killing you and also because every car has an accelerator pedal and I'm talking about an extra button.

Well then to go back to your microwave analogy, it's really more like choosing between a microwave with 9 buttons that can occasionally kill you or one with 10 buttons that could occasionally kill you, and that sounds about the same to me.

Why pay for the extra button in that case?
