SELF DRIVING CARS, A DISCUSSION

A self driving car doesn’t have skin in the game, though owner is liable. But no tailgating, inebriation, road-rage, speeding, bullying, etc. So I wonder where one should stand there as far as harm to others. Recall that skin-in-the-game removes from the gene pool those harmful to others…

Further, this is a logical continuation of the information revolution. Cars have been progressively turned into computers, and if it weren’t for Detroit bailouts, they’d be made in Silicon Valley (rather, assembled, with parts made in China, just like a computer).

One can estimate that a taxi ride would drop by 50-80%… Think of car rentals.
