And yeah, I get angry when a raging douche crawls out from his wet hole and attacks me for nothing, I'm not ashamed of that.

And let me know if I understand your points correctly:

1) If you have Degrees or Diplomas, it means you can't be ignorant, stupid, or a Douche.
2) We never interacted before, ever..so great time to play a joke on me where you label me an over-reacting paranoid.
3) When you are wrong, it's not because you're stupid or misinformed, it's because you're so swelled with the many words of 4 languages that you get confused..and that too, is my fault.

Stick your many degrees and multiple fluent foreign languages up your ***, Dick.

That'll be my last acknowledgment of you, your jokes and anything other than the topic at hand. Again, enjoy your evening.
I never said anything about not being a douche and I never called you an over reactor, and I admitted that I made the mistake in confusing a tender for a trickle charger .... you really don't read very well do you ?
I'm glad to see that not only that you react calmly and rationally to things ( gald this dissent happen in tragic you are more of a threat that self driving cars ) but also that you are super tough in real life and not just on the internet. But now I am curious am I dick or a douche ?

no, that won't happen. what they will do is make them so that only someone in the government can fire them. you pull the trigger, the data goes to a central computer and is analyzed, and if you aren't committing a crime, or aiming at a person committing a crime, then, it will fire.


the thing that I see happening with driverless cars, is that now you'll have all that extra time on your hands when you are commuting to and from work. the company that you work for will be sure to have something for you to do to keep you occupied

A cage is a cage. They're all driverless as far as I can tell.

It will take longer than 20 years, believe me. The first tests with 'driver autonomic cars' (cars with automatic driving with the computer driving and steering the car and the driver only present to correct the computer) were disastrous here in Europe. Don't forget that not only the cars have to be adapted but the entire infrastructure as well to avoid collisions or twisted computers (running on Microsof (t)) Fully autonomic driving cars are still far away, at least in Europe despite what the advocates of it want us to believe. And besides, the Dutch drivers are too independent in their thinking to accept full automatic driving taking aways one's freedom as I can imagen that the USA drivers are as well.
