The media is so pro-human and anti-robot. Yes many self driving vehicles may be stranding a large number of people and making an entire area impossible to traverse via the streets — but many people refuse to talk about the things these cars aren’t doing. I don’t see Cruise EVs making lewd and lascivious comments about women’s bodies or getting gym equipment all sweaty and not wiping up afterward. Yet I do not see any mainstream media coverage of this fact
As it should be right since humans are the customer and robots should be serving them.

What does this have to do with self driving vehicles?
In my opinion, anything that keeps money out of Silicon Valley investors and executives wallets while the edge cases are worked out is ok in my book. Move slow and keep everyone alive.

Everything! The media only wants to talk about robots when things go wrong, but what about all of the theoretical accidents they’ve avoided or the fact that not a single person has caught COVID from a Cruise electric vehicle?
Exactly, I’m agreeing with wellthisisgreat’s salient point that every time we see (for example) driverless cars causing deadlock in a city we would best turn our attention to the flaws in humanity and the benefits that driverless cars bring us. For example, no Tesla has ever laughed at me for “putting too much corn in chili” !
