Re:All Tesla Cars Being Produced Now Have Full Self-Driving ... by emdowling on Thursday October 20, 2016 @04:32AM (#12750596)
I 100% agree that more dangerous drivers should pay a higher premium, but there needs to be a fair, equal, transparent way to determine what dangerous is. Between law enforcement agencies, speed cameras and red light cameras, we have established well-tested legal frameworks which determine whether a driver is dangerous or not.

We we don't have are any legal or moral frameworks for passive, always-on methods of observation. Until we do, we shouldn't be letting private companies arbitrarily determine whether a driver is dangerous or not.

I believe we have established red light cameras are the cause of danger in a large number of circumstances, with yellow light time being reduced to increase government revenue.

Not to mention the lack of due process.

I don't think the government should rely on private companies algorithms to determine danger or guilt.
