    I guess being a proactive Luddite can’t hurt…

      The province has mandatory provincially managed auto insurance… I am sure that has more to do with it.

        I’m pretty sure it’s because:

        Transport Canada doesn’t currently permit the purchase or import of automated vehicles

      The Luddite movement began in Nottingham, England, and spread to the North West and Yorkshire between 1811 and 1816.[4] Mill and factory owners took to shooting protesters and eventually the movement was suppressed by legal and military force, which included execution and penal transportation of accused and convicted Luddites.

      It tended to hurt, pro-active or not.

      (Also, Luddites fought for organized labour and against using underpaid workers, I’m not sure that applies here.)

        AI has a way of turning out to often involve underpaid call centre employees in developing countries. Cruz self-driving cars had a pretty high ratio of remote supervisors per car when they went out of business. We might find out some interesting things about the big names should they go out of business and lapse their NDAs
