2. So you have evidence that a self drive car can determine intent? Oops no.
3. Superior sensing? I get it now - You're a fucking idiot.
etc.
Even if the car were able to come to some reasonable solution 90% of the time it would still blow for the 10% of the time when it didn't. It also rules out any chance that we'll see cars where the driver can sleep (or be passed out), or there is no human passenger at all. Because cars will get stuck and will need extrication.
The most likely place I see self drive occurring is vehicles shuttling people around airport terminals or between hotels and conference centres on closed tracks. A predictable, relatively contained system where the number of variables is limited and manageable. Even then there is probably a guy in a booth whose job it is to extricate the car when its sensors are confused by a leaf or a piece of junk and refuse to move without a human to override the system.
Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 you won't have to pay a cent to keep using that OS on your PC. It will never expire and revert to a subscription system, because if they did that it would be a PR nightmare for Microsoft with allegations of turning the OS into ransomware.
I never said it would. I'm quite certain it will be free for its lifetime and will work in a basic form whether you pay or not. But that doesn't mean it won't wall off certainly functionality, or nag you to upgrade, or throw banner / interstitial ads all over because that's probably what it will do.
So yes, it is FUD.
No it isn't. They've already stated their intentions and constructing a straw man of my words doesn't change that.
Personally I see absolutely nothing wrong with executing people providing their crimes, guilt and standard of evidence merit the ultimate sanction. That doesn't mean I see the US system as a role model for this because it is clear to even a casual observer that it is not.
