Why is a self-driving car so important to you? Is it really worth giving up your privacy, and advocating that others should give up theirs, just for some shortcoming in your own capabilities?

For some, driving is an absolute chore. A mind-numbingly boring task.

Why should a self driving car need a network connection? It's an absurd false dichotomy. Certainly that's what will be produced if the manufacturers are allowed to get away with it but that's not a technical problem it's a social and legal one.

It's a shortcoming each of us will have, if we're so lucky as to live that long.
