              It’s just… incredibly dumb. Because the problem is not the optics. The problem is making a control system that more or less replicates a “normal” human response pattern, but then got regulated and litigated to hell and back, plus some helpful navigation suggestions based on correlation of user location data to advertising partners in partner-defined geographic and social media and demographic targeting nets, plus the fucking legion of weird edge case bugs that have probably crept in at some point in the process.

              At the same time, every once in a while, one should pause and consider how important it is to always look on the bright side of life

          But we don’t need LIDAR! Humans don’t have lidar, and they can drive! All you need to do is replicate millions of years of evolution in a few years and you’re done!
