I am 100% against autonomous driving. I do not have an issue with a system automatically applying braking if the driver does not or adaptive cruise control to maintain a safe distance, nor do I have an issue with lane assist.

These are driver assist, the driver present and is still in control.

Eliminate the drunk drivers and human driving is ALMOST as safe as autonomous systems.

Not if you let Tesla do your driving for you.

Kind of looking like this could be THE issue for the 2026 midterm elections.

In Michigan it's also Data Centers

...and Flock cameras.

I'm opposed to warrantless usage of that technology.

I wouldn’t be opposed to the police department having footage for 30 days and it goes poof if it’s housed on their property and only their property with no Internet connection. It sounds to me like flock sells them a product (the cameras and software) and stores the information too. Once they sell the product they should have a minimal role in its use not some subscription where they serve as gatekeeper.
