Oh I get now. You have a preconceived agenda that makes this discussion entirely pointless. Either that or you value the trolley problem way too much.
Yeah, my agenda is public health and equality. I don't like it when a special class of people has impunity for roaming the land harming people, even less so when that's automatic.
Which is why you want them to carry a bomb?
Self-destruct doesn't exclusively mean "blow up". When the AI system chooses to run off the road or into some tree, that's also self-destruction.
Or we could apply the brakes
TOO FAST FOR BRAKES
if you want equality, then why do you want to get rid of cars? Do you actively hate disabled people?
because cars are a means of stratification and denial of rights . Cars can never be universal rights. It's literally impossible, so they have inequality baked in as a "car system".
Quite the opposite.
You don't seem to understand the challenge. First of all, cars require inequality:
That's just the starting base of inequality.
Some listening, in case you don't want to read:
