Research on this has been done and the cause is known. There is just no desire to improve the conditions of social activity on the part of civil society or the government.

The government exists for the general welfare and and economic system that subsidizes idleness because the disingenuous say "look over there, its a net positive" while ignoring the externalized cost borne by the taxpayer is just theft from the taxpayer.

I'd like to see cars with better autonomy features but theyre still far too expensive and non standardized. When the computer breaks or needs an upgrade the whole car is junked. The purchase data shows people aren't asking for autonomy.

Yes I considered independent wheels but a basic trailer is $3k, which doesn't leave much room for anything complicated.

The point is there's a million of these edge cases for which autonomy will not economically compete for another hundred years.

I'm not the right person to explain English history, secret courts, and the American revolution. Suffice to say, public courts a vital check on the power of the state by way of the court of public opinion. The real final court of appeal.
