During an amber alert, the more important goal is to find the missing child. It is a weighing of ethics.
Do you go around testing doors to see if any are unlocked? You may get into trouble.
And the site in question is not being visited to notify owners their security is poor, it is much more voyeuristic than that...

Wrong, it is not necessarily legal and legitimate to enter a public or commercial building unless you have permission of the owner. A couple of examples, is it legal to enter your white house? Tours are on specific areas only. if you hop the roped off areas you will get in trouble. A store owner can ask you to leave their premises for any reason (they usually won't because they want you to spend money, but the law is on the store owners side) For this case of the cameras it is a bit more complicated because, in essence the owners are publicly broadcasting. I agree that the best thing to do is not to watch. Interesting that the site is hosted in Russia. I think it would be shut down in most western countries. However IANAL

You are assuming that fun driving includes excessive speed, and testing the edges of traction. What about a nice pleasant day driving in the country, shifting gears, listening to the engine growl, feeling the corners.

I don't really enjoy racing, but I do like driving. No I do not want to take a cab everywhere I go*

*During one of the discussions (on Slashdot or elsewhere, I can't remember) on driverless cars someone said we already have them and they are called cabs...

Once I was driving when my radiator froze. (Yes I had good antifreeze, but it was beyond Damn cold) I had to drive with my window open so my windshield did not fog and freeze. Yes it was brutal, No I did not have heated seats.

My point is that there is not really a compelling reason for consumers to trade in their cars for a self driving car except in a few fringe cases. (Granted others would LIKE a self driving car for various reasons, but many people like heated seats)
