      This morning I was watching a CBS bit on autonomous cars and how they'd revolutionize transport, blah blah etc, and while I thought the test vehicle they were demonstrating was a bit laughably slow, it at least appeared to work...

      ...then they introduced a hypothetical: "Now, what happens when a PEDESTRIAN walks out into traffic STARING AT HIS PHONE??" I capitalized the words to try and communicate the disgust in the narrator's tone of voice. As intended, the vehicle slowed from 5mph to 0--safe!

      Provided you're only doing 5mph, that is, and provided the pedestrian steps into traffic a suitable braking distance ahead of the vehicle. Because as the day unfolded, another headline made the news:https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/19/technology/uber-driverless-fatality.html …

      Now. If self-driving cars were perfected, then sure, it would make sense to blame a pedestrian for not paying attention. But in the world we live in, cars have drivers, and drivers have to FUCKING PAY ATTENTION

      How many times have you been driving and a pedestrian stepped out alarmingly close in front of you? Scary, right? Now imagine the reverse, when you're a pedestrian already halfway across the street and some distracted fuckwit barrels down on you, his eyes ANYWHERE but on the road

      I promise it is considerably more alarming--more than anything else that I have to contend with in my daily life, it makes me violently angry. I find myself wishing I had a gun, or at least a baseball bat. Fortunately for the drivers (and for my criminal record), I don't.

          It's already disgusting, the extent to which people try to blame pedestrians for getting run down by cars. Even the sidewalks aren't safe, let alone the crosswalks! But to ramp up the anti-pedestrian rhetoric in ANTICIPATION of a loophole to distracted driving is unforgivable.

          This would be the case even if the loophole actually worked. But surprise! Self-driving cars still fucking hit people, and still fucking kill people. So cut the bullshit, pay attention to the road, keep the responsibility where it fucking belongs: ON DRIVERS
