In the Washington Post, my take on Tesla Autopilot:
“Even if [Tesla owners] accept [Autopilot's risks], what about everyone on a public road or street who is not in a Tesla? None of us signed on to be a guinea pig.”
That's the entire philosophy of the wealthy. Taking on risks and down stream impacts that effect everyone but themselves.
The risks of climate change are borne by the poor.
Musk & Murdoch fly elsewhere on private jets in wildfires or a pandemic.
The risks of corrupt energy companies like soil contamination, greenhouse gases, extreme heat events, or flooding are borne by the working & middle class.
Ted Cruz flies to Cancun when a poorly maintained Texas grid crashes in winter
