Just reading this now....it was so predictable that the first incident would spark the anti AV campaign. I'm sure the change outrage has happened multiple times though history like when the iron horses first hit the streets and when the first plane went down. But the reality of it is this, it's coming and if you don't believe it you're in denial. There's computers controlling traffic lights, air traffic control, your vehicle's onboard systems(ie ABS, throttle), planes, on and on. And all these things have "what if" circumstances everyday.
I see people making decisions on the highway every damn day that a toaster could have done better. This is the evolution of technology and it may not happen tomorrow or next week but it's coming.
