It's absurdist to be concerned about this and be okay driving a car from a total harm to society perspective.

Heartily disagree. It's the Frankenstein problem.

As an engineer, if you can't even start a process with sobriety, rigor, and safety in mind, that cavalier attitude only amplifies as you go down the road from experimentation to design to unleashing your ideas onto the public.

It's a harbinger of what is to come if you're being a suicidal idiot during the prototyping phase. If you don't even have respect for your own safety...

Merry Christmas
