I, For One, Welcome Our New Self Driving Overlords

@Mtass7 – Policeman jumps out of the road to avoid getting hit by Tesla on autopilot.

The repatriation police have one of the most dangerous jobs in the Norwegian police. They must stand along Norwegian roads to measure speed, control belt and mobile use and stop those who break the law. Only protection is a yellow reflective vest.
 
Earlier in May, Christian Sørby from Modum learned that it is important to keep abreast of the cars he tries to stop. Because at the end of Verpsletta in Øvre Eiker there was a near accident with a Tesla on “autopilot”.
 
– I realized that neither the car nor the driver saw me, so I threw myself out of the way to get from it all without damage, explains Sørby to Bygdeposten .

  1. Well, Norway gives generous electric car subsidies. The police support the state… right to die always becomes duty with socialists.

    This officer needs to be arrested for stopping the Tesla from doing it’s job of protecting the over populated (by humans) earth, and then publicly executed as an example to the rest of the citizens.

  2. “so I threw myself out of the way to get from it all without damage”
    We all wish we could permanently throw ourselves out of the way of this self-inflicted menace to public safety.

  3. “repatriation police”. What a strange translation. It’s Road Policing Unit.

    1. Repatriating YOUR € to the Police State. THAT … was the most shocking part of the story! That Norway deploys police spotters … roadside … to ENFORCE every little LAW to ENSURE … EVERYONE OBEYS the LAWS at ALL times!!

      I thank God for the US Constitution more and more … every day of my life

    1. If you can’t sue the PM who put the subsidy in place, why should you be able to sue the car maker?

      I see it as something like a fight or contact sport; you knew the risk, you took the money, suck it princess.
