I believe these cars drive on the same roads all day, whereas people are likely to be driving in and out of areas these systems are not familiar with. I suppose a good comparison would be of a taxi driver that only operates in the same area as the driverless cars, if that exists.

    I used to use these, but I think they contributed to my charging port failing, so I just try to use wireless for everything. I've read of other people that had the same issue. I think the cause was electrical arcs when attaching and detaching. Or maybe ferreous shavings getting in the pins. Whatever it was, it damaged in the charging circuit.

    The judiciary "interprets" the constitution. Trump filled the judiciary with loyalist or otherwise ideologically aligned judges during this term and his previous. The supreme court ruled last year that the president has immunity, and the president has the ability to pardon people, so it seems the administration is pretty much "above the law." Even when the courts do push back, they're acting like they're powerless, and the admin's tactics seems to be just ignoring, stalling, or taking the "ain't no rules says a dog can't play basketball" approach to working around the courts. Yes, the constitution has been severely weakened, and will probably continue to weaken.

    In my mind, the problem is hierarchy, whether it be in corporations or government. It must be limited as much as possible in any system. Capitalism is inherently hierarchical though. The billionaires have so much money now, they can bribe every powerful politician that's not exceptionally principled, and control how people see the world through media. Even that Teamsters leader is acting like he's getting some sort of kickback now; supporting the GOP.
