      Sometimes it seems like the most controversial thing I say to libs is that fully autonomous self driving doesn’t exist.

        I've argued the same with my neighbors and coworkers back in CA for decades and it was always just a year or two away, and that I was the irrational one. morshupls

          Fully autonomous self driving vehicles do exist, the Vancouver skytrain has been running them since the 80's.

          Fully autonomous self driving vehicles without tracks, grade separation, or platform screen doors running on the public roads mixing with cars, pedestrians, and velocipedestrians don't exist.

          It's the same with the Mars grift, "it's five years away, trust me!"

            Remember "all of you will be using AR/VR headsets in mandatory teleconferencing in a few years, better get in on the ground floor" proselytizing? I sure do.

            Remember "you better start buying internet funny money/ugly monkey jpegs because that's the future of finance" proselytizing? I sure do.
