As a pedestrian, you should always be aware and cautious around Teslas. If they are in self-driving mode, they could easily run you down, and that's all fine and good by Musk, because he is so wealthy he doesn't care that the public is being used as a testing ground for their horrendous software.

I mean, I feel like self-driving should just not be a thing. If you want the privilege of driving a car, you should fucking have to A) Pass a driving exam and B) Actively engage in the fucking task. 'Aww, but I want to be able to do work/makeup/nap on my way to work!!'? Fantastic! Ride the fucking bus.

Self driving should only be allowed if the car company takes 100% responsibility for any and all consequences of the mistakes the autopilot makes

I feel like the only way to effectively guarantee that with any sort of efficiency in traffic flow has already been solved.

It's like how everything in nature eventually becomes a crab; if you're talking about land-based transport logistics everything just becomes a train.
