  • I think it’s a great idea to require a human attendant for giant autonomous machinery.

    If the company does not provide the attendant, then the public is just going to shoulder that burden.

    I am NOT going to protect or respect unattended property like an autonomous truck if it runs off the road or rams my vehicle or is a risk to my own safety, for example.

    I’m pretty sure I’d be offended just having to ride behind it on the freeway as it drives precisely the speed limit in all traffic conditions - can’t say for sure until I’ve experienced it though.




  • Where should the outrage be? To whom should it be directed? What are the specific political moves that will change the behavior of the Israeli government?

    I think these are the open questions floating around in the general world population right now. They are debated, but the answers aren’t really clear to a majority.

    I won’t pretend to know for certain, but I think the outrage should be among Israelis and directed at their government because that’s the only direct way to change it’s behavior.

    Alternatively, I guess a 3rd country’s citizens could pressure their own government to divest from Israel or otherwise pressure them to change their ways. Of course, that’s an indirect way to change the behavior of the Israeli government and does not address any preexisting reasons for aiding Israel in the first place.
