capitalism and the oligarchy, the people will not see the benefits of tech - whether driving tech or AI.

Harm to individuals will be calculated finely with the view to the profits of the masters, a risk/benefit analysis balancing the legal costs of death and disaster against profit to investors.

I REALLY WISH I could use taxis or driverless cars now - I hate driving. Instead we get underpaid, overworked, and unregulated gig economy "contractors".
