Both views are simplifications. What you should be asking is as following, as people under 25 as they get older, still care about pointless shiny in their cars?

When I was under 25 I made some very questionable stylistic and functional choices for my auto, now as I got older I grew out of it.

I still remember how awful early consumer operating systems were. They crashed, they had ridiculous requirements, and bad design. While all of this was unfortunate, the improvements were to the primary purpose of these systems.

For cars, the awfulness of digital platform is for secondary purposes - these systems do not improve how the car drives, yet implications for your safety when something goes wrong are much higher.

Dear Blizzard,

If large number of people want to automate or outsource your game experience, then what you have is not a fun game but a chore.

All recent SJW articles were bad enough, now this drivel?!?! Why do editors here hate us so much?

If I kindly ask editors to go fight their gender wars elsewhere, would they need me to draw a map?

I read at -1, and I can personally assure you, that thing is a frequent AC poster here.

Could someone please explain this with a car analogy?

From 3.6 to DRM in just 3 years. Lets wait for the autopsy report.

I drive roadsters that can stop on a dime. If I stand on my brakes because I hallucinated a wall in the middle of the highway, I can guarantee that people behind me will rear-end me. Would you say there were following me too close and are at fault?

Driving requires a great deal of prediction, it is simply not feasible to drive 100% defensively in most urban environments. People will cut in front of you, you will never merge or change lanes, you will never turn left at a light. If other drivers start acting irrationally (or different-rationally like AI), the accidents will drastically increase. AI not only has to drive well, it also has to drive somewhat like a human, or other humans will keep crashing into it.

Nonprofits don't generate shareholder returns, this doesn't mean that they are prevented from enriching executives via compensation packages.

Big issue with AI controlled cars in a human-dominated traffic is that AI doesn't react the same way people do. Sure, all-AI traffic would likely be more efficient and less prone to accidents, but we are nowhere near this. Instead we have AI that to humans is hard to predict.

For example, huge puddle on the road, most humans would unwisely drive through it. What would AI do? No idea, and I wouldn't want to be driving behind it when that happens. What about a hobo at the end of the offramp begging for change? Would AI freak out about pedestrian on the road? No idea, and I wouldn't want to be driving behind it to see what happens.

I have an idea for a possible application - variable airline fees. Using this sensor, you can maximize shareholder value by increasing various airline fees just short of inducing murderous rampage in the flyers. If we have access this technology, we can fine-tune this down to unprecedented resolution.

You are misinformed. Catalytic converters are mandatory in US and EU since 80s, any car that doesn't have one from factory is already classic collectable that already exempt from testing.

You ignoring deterrent effect of inspections. I lived in two different states - one that requires emission inspections, and another that does not. In the state that did not require inspections, the suggested fix for a plugged catalytic converter issue was a straight pipe welded in its place.
