But the irony here is the trump administration is just as woke as any supposedly woke liberal group out there, just woke in a right-wing way.

Uh, what? That's literally not a thing.

Woke means aware of systematic injustice and its effects and working to combat them. The right wing is the opposite of that.

It's wasn't racism it was just plain ordinary greed and might makes right.

Racism was used to excuse the actions. They're just savages, so it's OK! Bunch of idiots probably don't even understand property, right? Except a huge part of the way the whites "won" the west was to make treaties with native tribes so they wouldn't have to fight them, because if they had to fight all of them at once they would have lost. Then the whites broke literally every single one of those treaties.

And a really dumb one makes a statement. Fascinating.

Here is a fact: Humans and predecessors have only be around for the current "cool" period, actually a bit shorter. For 99.96% of the existence of the planet there were no humans and that is where you have to look for those "hotter" times.

What people want for real is blame and retribution. They'll put up any number of lives to the sacrificial alter of transportation just so long as they can nail somebody to the cross when something goes wrong. And automatic cars don't provide that, so it'll always feel unsatisfying and questionable, no matter how good it gets from a safety perspective.

This will go for a while. But not long. Because even with the pathetic-level of car insurance you need in the US, insurances will not have it and premiums for robotic cars will be orders of magnitude lower and then the hate and revenge fueled primitives will simply seem themselves ignored.
