DRONE CAR KILLS OCCUPANT

I have been surprised at the reaction on facebook to this story in the Melbourne Herald Sun. 

  Some readers came out strongly in support of the car making company and they condemned the newspaper for not printing all the facts. I felt these drones should not be on public streets at this stage of their development and was more concerned with the fact that if one of these cars could hit a truck and a pole, then others could. That puts other road users at risk.

And, I don't want robots living my life for me. Technology lovers can have all the gizmos they like as long as they don't adversely affect me.

TAX RIP OFF

Does this remind anyone of the TAC antibike tax (safety levy) rip off in Victoria?
