People are just inured to the omnipresent stupidity of drivers. Imagine how blinded by ideology you would need to be to write down that Waymo is bad because it stopped in a driving lane on three different occasions. As if DoorDash wasn't a global enterprise dedicated to double-parking intentionally!

Yep.

Send this article to someone trying to argue that cyclists never follow the law and should have licenses and be prepared to roll your eyes at the excuses they come up with...

People don't even consider cars speeding 10km/h over or rolling stop signs or right at red lights going 10km/h a crime, but if a cyclist rolls a stop sign going 5km/h it's goddamn anarchy that needed a solution yesterday.

Tell me at least a little about the ideology that starts with omnipresent human stupidity and improves safety by adding a new class of proprietary, intractable-decision-makers to that same system.

You are imputing upon me a philosophy I do not hold. I don't think AVs should be added to MeatVs. I think as soon as AVs reach a practicable level, human drivers of private cars should be banned in cities.

If you want to live in a prison, fine. Don't try to impose it on the rest of us. And don't imagine it's for some greater good. The world you envision is vile.
