[en] So 99% of what you’re doing when you’re behind the wheel of a car is ==attempting to not commit homicide.==

This is a useful point to keep in mind whenever you read about the imminent arrival of “self-driving cars”. Because when tech folks tell you they’re building a self-driving car, what they’re really promising is to make a self-driving bullet that can weave through city streets without hitting anyone.

Kind of clarifies the stakes, doesn’t it?
