Should the government regulate the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles?

Autonomous vehicles, or self-driving cars, use technology to navigate and operate without human intervention. Proponents argue that regulations ensure safety, promote innovation, and prevent accidents caused by technology failures. Opponents argue that regulations could stifle innovation, delay deployment, and impose excessive burdens on developers.

Yes

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...9mos9MO

No

 @B2LBFXLfrom Ontario  disagreed…4 days4D

Without rules, self-driving cars could be dangerous and unsafe. Regulations make sure these cars meet safety standards and protect people. They also help car makers follow clear guidelines and build trust. Without these rules, we might risk using the technology in harmful ways.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Would you trust a self-driving car to safely transport your loved ones? Why or why not?

 @9YDW8XRfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Not for another few decades. We ships not rush this.

 @9YDSY9Lfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Not at this time. More research and a lot more is needed.

 @9Y9MXMCfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

No. I dont trust other people on the road so why would i trust a computer

 @9XYC3PVfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

At this time the technology is not good enough. There are plenty of reports of cars auto-correcting people into dangers and accidents as is.

 @B2HMZCYfrom Alberta  answered…1wk1W

This is an incredibly intricate question that requires far more attention and discussion than this provides

 @B2D4C9Wfrom Quebec  answered…3wks3W

Yes, if somebody has to be held accountable, but I am against the idea of autonomous vehicles in most situations for that very reason—who will be held accountable in the event of an accident?

 @B2BMK7Bfrom Alberta  answered…3wks3W

Ban cars that fully drive on their own, require some form of driver interaction without exception.

 @B292M3Pfrom British Columbia  answered…4wks4W

At this point in time we should not have autonomous vehicles

 @B28NC9Yfrom Manitoba  answered…4wks4W

Yes, but only if both parties work collaboratively

 @B26DZ65from Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

It should absolutely be allowed for autonomous vehicles to operate in Canada. They already are safer than human drivers. You cant refute the data

 @B24K54Cfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

They should not be allowed until much more testing is done

 @9V2KX9Xfrom British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, to ensure greater safety standards and testing

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

there should not be teslas used by local police forces, if local services cannot meet local demand for food banks

 @9RSWBTSfrom British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

The government should ban the use of autonomous vehicles.

 @9RLFFWSfrom Alabama  answered…6mos6MO

Invest in making safe autonomous vehicles safer than human drivers who can be very reckless

 @9RKQP9Qfrom New Brunswick  answered…6mos6MO

Why do we need self driving vehicles to begin with?

 @9RCBSYBfrom Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Let private industry develop at whatever pace they want but the government should definitely regulate the deployment of autonomous vehicles.

 @9QQBF3Cfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, they should ban the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles for safety reasons.

 @9PXSBSYfrom Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

Autonomous cars should not be created and should stop getting produced

 @9YNQFHTNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, autonomous vehicles are dangerous and have no place on public roadways.

 @9W8J636from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

If they were to be implemented, yes. But they are unnecessary.

 @9V7CCZWNew Democraticfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4mos4MO

Yes the government should outright ban autonomous vehicles.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

In an era of self-driving cars, do you think learning to drive manually will become obsolete, or will it remain an essential skill?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

What kind of tests or licenses, if any, should be required for someone to 'operate' a fully autonomous vehicle?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would the widespread use of self-driving cars change the way we design cities and roads?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you think the benefits of self-driving cars, such as potential reductions in traffic accidents and increased mobility for those unable to drive, outweigh the risks and uncertainties?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

If a self-driving car caused an accident, who should be held responsible: the manufacturer, the software developer, or the passenger?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you feel about taking a ride in a self-driving car that has no human control options?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Imagine a future where all vehicles are autonomous. How do you think this will affect our daily lives, our environment, and the way we think about personal vehicle ownership?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Should self-driving cars be programmed with moral decisions, like choosing between the safety of passengers or pedestrians?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How do you think the shift towards autonomous vehicles will impact jobs in transportation, such as truck drivers and taxi drivers?

Investigators Face Stunning Mystery In Midair Catastrophe

A shocking mid-air collision occurred between a commercial airliner and what appears to be a military/government Blackhawk helicopter in the Washington D.C.CNN aviation correspondent and private pilot Pete Munteen said this is extremely rare and concerning such an incident is in modern aviation.Commercial aircraft are equipped with TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) specifically designed to prevent such collisions.TCAS actively instructs pilots on vertical maneuvers to avoid other aircraft through climb or descent commands.The system was implemented as a direct response to previous mid-air collisions involving commercial aircraft.The incident represents what aviation experts call "holes in the Swiss cheese" - multiple safety failures aligning simultaneously.Commercial pilots undergo extensive training and operate with sophisticated technology, making this event particularly concerning.The Blackhawk helicopter involved suggests military or government involvement, as it's exclusively used by these entities.The aviation expert expressing shock underscores the extraordinary nature of this incident.A major investigation will be required to understand how multiple safety systems and protocols failed simultaneously."This would be an incredible lining up of the holes in the Swiss cheese, the -- the which is the saying in aviation, the gaps in the -- in the safety chain in aviation, that this happened and now investigators have an incredible amount of work cut out for them to figure out how a commercial airliner in the United States in 2025, when the pilots are incredibly trained, the technology is is incredibly sharp, collided with what is apparently a military or government helicopter. Nobody else uses the blackhawk. Yeah, it is -- it is really something else. I -- I -- I'm just stunned."
