Supposedly a salt circle drawn like "no entry" road markings can trap them.

the revolution IS YOU

They already exist though? There are a bunch of EVs with servos in their doors. You can still overpower it just like you can an auto closing trunk

edit: and they can also have proximity sensors, i know cadillac does that and their implementation is hyper vigilant, will stop the front door even if you're next to the pillar

Eh, we already have self closing trunks. As long as they are programmed correctly (not by Tesla) they sense resistance and stop.

I've seen cars with self-closing doors though. Also I'm not sure where the safety consideration would come in since we have self closing building doors right now and no one seems to get cut in half by those.

Minivans have had self-closing doors for decades bro

You're right! Tech companies need to stick to the easier problem to solve, self-driving cars! 😆

Nah, you just speed up then slam on the brakes to open it, then you can close it as you said.

Well, in that case maybe you just forget to shut the door ;)

have a friend stalk Waymo’s and give the passenger $5 to leave the door ajar a bit .

Probably the doors are in the "unlatched" position rather than wide open.

Maybe some people simply expect an autonomous vehicle to be able to autonomously close its doors in the safest possible way without assistance. Maybe they actually think they're doing it right by not forcing the doors?

Instead of take-a-penny leave-a-penny, close-a-door open-a-door

The reasoning is because of incompetent government

No this is more like that old legend about the French colonial forces trying to solve the local rat problem in a Vietnamese city by paying the local populations 1 franc per rat that they kill and turn in. It made the locals breed rats to kill and turn them in for the bounty.

We need to recognize that we are now "the local population" in that scenario. We need to milk the billionaire class dry at every turn and throw as many profit losses into their game as they yield any surface area to attack. It must be attacked.

Flip their '1 dollar game for them' into '2 dollar game for you' every chance you can.

Of course it is.

This, along with the story of the driverless car running over a beloved neighborhood cat, highlight the fundamental problem here: they’re training these systems to be autonomous cars - and they’re impressively close - but they’re still miles away from creating a simulation of an autonomous human. Not everything about operating a car is driving it.

Obviously they don't.

but they don't give a fuck and just walk away.

I didn't imply the human didn't know how to close a car door. I am saying the human is dumb for specifically choosing to be a piece of shit for NOT closing the car door.

I'm speaking strictly on the nefarious side of things because I can't understand simply "forgetting" to close a car door... but that again circles back to the dumb part of the human brain.
