Who in the world really desires driverless cars ?  Have you ever met such a person ?   So why in the world do the National Transportation Board and National Highway Safety Administration authorize testing of driverless vehicles on public streets. This comes following yesterday’s announcement that a self-driving fully autonomous Uber SUV struck and killed a woman (Elaine Herzberg)walking a bicycle outside a crosswalk in Tempe, Arizona.

When are our government leaders going to begin protecting the citizenry with some common sense.  It’s bad enough that we fail to take adequate care of folks with mental disabilities, provide tough background checks on gun owners, and allow automatic or semi-automatic guns with 30+ bullet magazines, but driverless cars meandering through our streets among workaday pedestrians and children.  Really ?  WHAT THE HECK !

As far as Uber goes, shut them down for a while.  And incarcerate a few of the executives and engineers who cost Elaine Herzberg her life.   And really, let’s throw Volvo into the mix of blame, one because I don’t like Volvos, and two because they allowed their vehicles to be utilized in such a dangerous and unsupervised manner.
