That's fucking bullshit, i thought the whole point of self driving cars was that tjey would be safer than human drivers, not more efficiently dangerous.

To be fair, they probably are safer. Even if they cross into a bike lane, sensor reaction time is far superior to any human. At least a couple of times now I've heard ties squealing behind me in a protected bus/bike line from cunts aggressively changing lane into it to get around traffic and only spotting my bike at the last second. I would feel much safer if 100% of cars on the road with me were controlled by software and not meatware.

Yeah but that didn't mean these are safe. It's just means humans are dangerous.

I'd rather be killed by a human than surrender my freedom to ai.

[–] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

just not getting killed via transportation would be nice. Cars are dangerous, regardless of if they are controlled by meatware or machines.

Okay but the software in this case is clearly dangerous. They need to not park in bike lanes that just shouldn't even be a question.
