I don't agree with your characterization of what's happening as "YOLO" and "half-baked". It's taken many many people many years to get to where we are now. It's pretty easy to do a miles driven and accidents caused comparison. Self driving cars appear to be wildly safer thus far.

What would make you happy with a self-driving safety record? Why not be excited about the future?

I understand when some folks think that the focus would be better spent on public transportation, but you just seem like a hater.

Gestures broadly at the world

I mean I guess you have a point. Go nuts with the driverless cars.

And yes, this money would be better spent on a huge number of things — public transit among them.
