Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Look, they invented another way to have a deadly car accident! These tech clowns need to be put in their place, their plans for the Internet of things are another surrender of individual freedom. The so-called robber barons are due an apology because as they pursued money they actually built things that people wanted, they did not impose them on the nation. And the reason you don’t hear a peep from the radical left about it, is because they see the data revolution as a means to control everyone and impose their totalitarian dreams of control of every facet of your life.
“their plans for the Internet of things are another surrender of individual freedom”
No they’re not. Take a time machine back to 1950 if you can’t stand modernity stop expecting the rest of the world to stand still for you.
The problem is not the tech clowns. The problems is the plethora of fools who are so easily parted from their cash.
Just like the problem has never been Trudeau, but the people willing to support a Trudeau, or a Rae, or a Pol Pot, or a Notely, or a Mao,…
All you will ever need to know about socialists, you will learn by watching ‘The Killing Fields’. Never doubt that the software in your car was written, and tested, by committed Malthusians.
There’s at least a million reasons auto will never work…unless every vehicle does it
…and we already have that…it’s called a train
This mostly demonstrates that it’s an either/or thing: the roads with self-driving cars must all be self-driving. Of course that’s stilly because our cars will fly.

Flying cars? Didn’t they have them on the Jetsons?
We have flying cars. They’re called planes.
Thanks, UnMe. You just gave the best argument against unleashing self-driving cars on the general public.
We’ll have flying cars for the masses when we have responsible government. No, not your dorky concept of socialist gov’t, but a real responsible government.
However, given that pigs will also fly when this happens, it would probably be best to remain on the ground unless you like to eat your pork raw.
“We’ll have flying cars for the masses when we have responsible government.”
At this rate it will happen much sooner.
UnMe says that cars will fly.Well,pigs will fly the same day.Vehicles that fly are called airplanes and are subject to FAA rules in the USA and other government rules in every other country. The first is air worthy inspections,which are mandated and cover all flying vehicles. The next problem is crashes that have to be investigated with the area cleared and inspected by theFAA before normal traffic can resume if it is on the ground and the vehicle type grounded as is the 737 max. Every driver will have to be a pilot with annual medical certification and that will eliminate ninety five percent of the drivers.

Not if it flies itself. RTFA
hay unDork, we were promised those 40 years ago. Like the second coming of kriste, it just never happens when they say it will. The have been thousands of unfulfilled predictions, “flying” cars is just one of they, and because destinations are different for each individual, you will not have self flying cars for one hell of a long time. Butt then math ain’t one of yer strong points
Not if it flies itself.
Un-fool.

I’m guessing you have no pilot lic.
Note: Even with today’s computer run aircraft. You still need a PIC. Pilot in command.
Why might you ask. Cause as we saw with the Air Bust crash and yes even Boeing.
They can go bonkers.
just imagine the insanity that would ensue if all cars were flying cars immediately. yahoo, metal raining out of the sky.
yup.
drunk driving in 3D.
I’ve railed against that since the 60s. and now we have to face the prospect.
the good news is, fantastic sit’n for the scrap metal dealers.
and morticians.
Ha! You call that … “being cut off”?! Ha ha ha ha … that’s called … “the standard CA lane change”. No signal, no warning, jussssst enough room to fit-in (although not a prerequisite). Be aware … or crash.
And the drivers who lean on their horns when they get “cut-off” like this? Incompetent leftist asswipes who hate cars, and hate driving … or out-of-staters. The average CA driver has seen it all, and is ever at the ready for this maneuver … or is a teen driver texting about what Jamal did to Kenisha in Biology.
The Autopilot AI … can only respond to singular inputs … when it takes the ability to evaluate multiple inputs, constantly changing multiple inputs … to be a competent driver. These auto-pilot drivers belong in their own concrete barricaded lanes … driving single-file. Removed from the human drivers.
ha ha ha !!!!
hey kenji, ever drive the 401 thru Tranna?
you’d be right at home.
oh look. the captcha is a bunch of cars all over the place pointed in diff directions . . . .
ha ha ha !!!!
Does Boeing have some small part in making these damn things? I mean, really!!
Self driving cars are an unavoidable reality and the answer to conflict between human operated and self operated is to make all cars self driving. I have a funny feeling humans have a higher cofficient for error than AI when it comes to sharing the road with each other. Let’s face it, our children’s children will be amazed to know we operated our own vehicles!
You can keep your fascist crap.
Brother I love driving as much as you but this is just going to happen and it makes sense. It’s actually a logical productive use of technology for once and anyways it’s what we dreamt of in the 50s!
Fascism is always logical when you look at fascist premises.
It will only happen in fascist societies like China, and, soon, Germany/Europe.
Not sure what you’re going on about but self driving cars are the answer to urban transportation. It doesn’t mean you won’t be able to own a car and drive it yourself, it just means that it will become a reality where it is necessary and practical. I just returned from Calgary and driving around that city is a nightmare with way too many vehicles. Trains require too much infrastructure and flying vehicles are currently facing a problem of a power source that doesn’t run out after 20 minutes. Gas powered flying vehicles are still too complicated to be used safely as regular transportation for the average person.
how long before the self drivers show up at the Indy 500?
jeezuz MURPHY people, teck-no-lodge-gee!!!! is NOT always ‘the’ answer, sometimes not even ‘an’ answer.
FCUK FCUK FCUK FCUK.
ah, but, “follow the money”.
why would anyone get behind the wheel of a car and NOT drive?
the only way I ever get in one of these self driving things is if I have no other choice.
ffs, what is up with the people who want this stuff?
What’s up with us is that driving sucks. I’d rather be getting work done or playing video games.
So stay home then, we don’t need your crappy car or attitude on the streets. Maybe you should invest in a vehicle that you actually enjoy being in.
