Every death from a self-driving car will be played up in the media, while the 30,000 per year now hardly get a mention anymore. And that will be partially because of the lack of control that people feel. People feel more threatened by what they can't control than by what they feel like they can (even if that sense of control is partially an illusion).huskerdontnoreply@blogger.com
