Exactly. I picture a dystopia where the car refuses to attempt escape from a storm because of the liability factor.

Sounds preferable to a dystopia where AI driven cars are getting into wrecks because they’re overconfident in their abilities.

The thing about winter driving is that it's just inherently a crapshoot. Sometimes, on a nice morning commute, you hit black ice going downhill and that's that. It doesn't matter that you were going slow, you're still gonna slide and hit something.

I doubt the tech will be immune to that. So it's up to how they manage the fallout from the crashes they end up getting into.

I see no issue with that as long as you can override and drive manually.

I picture one where it locks the doors and drives you right to the ICE center as soon as the facial recognition cameras realize who you are

even better if this is the only way to get around. no transport for whoever the Trump admin decides is insufficiently loyal!

y'all need to get more creative with your dystopias

Based on their current approach, it'll be much simpler than facial recognition.

Or you could get a pardon for drunk driving if you vote MAGA.
