Off-road or driving a fun twisty road? yeah I'll take the wheel thank you very much.

Commuting in traffic? Oh gently caress the hell yes I would rather let a computer deal with that bullshit. Sign me right the gently caress up.

I'm more partial to the "I, Robot" imagining so that I could still drive if I wanted to, rather than being flung around in one of those sideways-driving death machines.

Once the tech gets sorted out the insurance companies will enforce your compliance with adjusted monthly rates or a penalty for manually operating, thereby allowing everyone to shrug and say "well, you have a choice, we're not forcing anyone to do anything." That's when the government starts demanding override privileges for all vehicles for "our protection". Anyway, that's my Sci Fi dystopia story for the day.

insurance companies are already offering "discounts" (IE, the actual rate,) to put GPS shits in your car to make sure you obey the rules of the road ;)

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I'm in favor of doing less things. Self-driving cars would give me more time to shitpost here.

Just imagine: a 2-hour commute where you just sit back and post " u r g a y" the whole time

E: that's why I take the bus so I can actually do that on my commute. Public transit is cool

I'm currently driving over an hour each way to/from work, because there are zero bus routes that would work.

I legit miss mass transit. :(

Mass transit :( :respek: :(

Love mass transit. Mine has been getting less funding while all the MORONS sit in back to back traffic despite the bus being RIGHT THERE. Like why wouldn't you sit in the comfort of the clean bus (they're actually clean here) and waste $20 gas and $80 parking when you can pay $2.50 the bus? So you don't look like a poor? I guess that's why there's self driving cars so people don't feel POOR riding the bus but still want to poo poo post during the commute

Yeah mass transit keeps getting shat on by people who have never used it. Annoying.

I sit on the third row on the left, next to the window. If this seat is taken then I sit in the fourth row on the left, next to the window and fart a lot. If that seat is taken then I sit fifth row on the left, next to the window and fart a lot. IF that seat is taken then I poo poo my pants, cause that's never happened.

Edit: I mean my seat and or backups were always open, not that I haven't poo poo myself on public transportation.
