Safety First: Autonomous Tech Must Outpace Driver Recklessness
It's hard to understand some driver's actions but I do look forward to when all autonomous systems prioritize safety over hype and headlines. In this instance, there wasn't much for Tesla's FSD to do as the driver ahead executed this dick move, luckily (the operative word) without incident.

Self‑Driving Cars Will Replace Top Drivers First
Yes. Especially since, the way we're going, the country's worst, most potentially deadly drivers will be the last to be replaced by Waymos (if ever). The first drivers to be replaced by Waymos would be the nation's best drivers.
