By LAW, autonomous vehicles need an external EMERGENCY STOP button!
BY LAW, all vehicles operating in autonomous modes without a safety
driver present should be required to have an obvious EMERGENCY STOP
button accessible from the outside, which is active when the car isn't
in motion or is moving slowly. It is utterly unreasonable that there
is no way to stop or prevent the motion of these vehicles in emergency
situations without the time consuming and often impractical need to
access apps or make phone calls -- by then it will often be too late.
At least with a human driver you can go bang on their window and say,
"Hey STOP, there's a hazard!" -- but fascist-loving Big Tech
Billionaire CEOs don't give a damn how many people they hurt with
their tech. Get this goddamned tech under control, and tax the
billionaires out of existence! -L
