    What you're describing is not coming from LGBT its coming from so-called liberalism, It just so happens that many (if not most) LGBTs are also liberals.

    You're making the fundamental mistake in assuming business people have vision beyond the immediate next dollar or care about others/society enough to do anything to even slightly risk that.
    Its pretty obvious that modern business practice is to even hurt themselves in the long term if it gives them another dollar now. Nearly all management types view that as a problem they, or more likely someone else, can deal with later when it hits.
    Actually very like the way the US government is handling (or more accurately, not) environmental change.

    We might. Or we might say this is just yet another variant of embrace,extend,extinguish.that's been Microsoft's core strategy since MSDOS.

    That would be the dumbest idea ever because no-one with an actual clue would take their fork as seriously as the "real" Linux, but nothing would surprise me when dealing with Microsoft or the clueless management types that keep buying/deploying their products.

    I totally agree with you however the US government are clearly on a full-out insane charge towards self-driving cars, regardless of the actual fact that no piece of software will ever be able to fully understand the massive complexity that is every possible circumstance the real world.

    Self-driving cars based on current technology are not and will never be better than a good driver. The laws should never have been relaxed enough to allow self-driving cars on public roads in the first place. If the government really are concerned about safety, what they really need to do is ensure drivers are properly educated (not the joke driving test we have now) and remove licences from bad drivers.

      I predict that the verdict will be "accidental death" or "death by misadventure" or something equally ambiguous, simply because the courts won't want to set a legal precedent that in any way impedes the government's insane rush toward their ultimate goal of removing everyone's freedom to drive themselves.

    > My girlfriend was happily walking directly in front of cars on any streets sub 20mph

    Totally agree. As a Brit now living in AZ, the behaviour where many here apparently think its perfectly fine to just step into the road right in front of moving cars boggles my mind.

    I can't imagine what happens when they go anywhere else and try that. In England it's called "natural selection".
