Yes, of course violence and vandalism is never justified, but think of it from a bored high schoolers perspective. It would be so much fun in the future to stop a waymo in the middle of an street, cover its cameras, and watch the aftermath. Pranks involving technology are gonna be way more fun in the future.

Deadlier too as human judgement/reaction is removed from larger and more everyday machines.

People who lose their jobs to the new technology can be hired as guards to protect the technology from Luddites. Or as insurance adjusters.

I'm sorry, I was being snarky, and yes I justly deserved the downvote.
