This is why driverless cars are a bad idea, they assume that everything will work as intended and everyone will play by the rules.
You need a human to make a snap decision in cases like these.
I hope these men are arrested for sexual solicitation via coercion (could be tried as attempted rape in the right state), disrupting traffic, sexual harassment, public disturbance. Fuck em, or better yet, don't fuck em, they're unfuck worthy.
What were these morons thinking? I'm sex positive as hell, I'm all for bringing back the free love of the 70's and the LSD of the 60's, but not like this, never anything like this... Hypothetically bro say you do get her number this way?
The fuck happens next?
"Hey remember me, I'm the dipshit who pressured you into giving me this number by trapping you in your car via exploitation of its safety features? So I'll pick you up at 7 for a romantic candlelit dinner and afterwards we could go see a movi..." click "Hello? Damn, friendzoned again."
Na driverless cars are the future and tens of thousands of people will be saved from car accident deaths per year once most cars are automated. And this may happen in my lifetime which is cool.
You have a bad take imo.
And it only takes one driverless car having a bug or some kind of user error to fuck it up for every body.
A man can notice a mistake and correct it, a machine will continue as if everything is fine.
I'm just telling you how it is, people's feelings on this won't stop the march of progress. Machines will take over most driving tasks, it's inevitable.
"A man can notice a mistake and correct it, a machine will continue as if everything is fine." Even if this is 100% true you already say yourself that machine driving will still be safer "user error to fuck it up for every body." User error will 100% be why autonomous vehicles will be overall significantly safer to use and be around vs manual driving vehicles.
Again, machines don't realize a mistake has been made, people do
