This considers limiting the integration of advanced technologies in vehicles to ensure humans retain control and to prevent dependency on technological systems. Proponents argue that it preserves human control and prevents over-reliance on potentially fallible technology. Opponents argue that it hinders technological progress and the benefits that advanced technology can bring to safety and efficiency.

@9RDKXM811mos11MO
No, but the government should still require manual driving in case there is a technology malfunction.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
How would you feel about driving a car that can make decisions on its own, like braking or steering away from obstacles?
@9YFMWMP8mos8MO
Driving a car that can make decisions on its own, like braking or steering to avoid obstacles, would feel both exciting and slightly unnerving, as it adds convenience and safety but requires trusting the technology completely. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) have already shown potential in reducing accidents, yet the idea of sharing control might take some getting used to, especially in complex driving conditions. Over time, though, I think the reassurance of enhanced safety features would make driving a more relaxed experience.
@9YFL57N8mos8MO
I would be worried, because I would feel scared that I might cause accidents.
@9XT75DS8mos8MO
I think much more research should be conducted before vehicles with these features enter the roads
@9XT6VJG8mos8MO
I highly agree with advanced automotive technology and believe that ai will soon be capable.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
Would you prefer a self-driving car to save you time on your commute, even if it means giving up some control over the vehicle?
@9YG2QT98mos8MO
NO. I do not trust a car to drive me safely and reliably
@9YFWM9D8mos8MO
Yes. If self-driving cars were the only vehicles on the road, commutes would be much faster. Vehicle travel would be overall safer, etc.
@DavidCStock 10mos10MO
No - gas powered and full driver control remain the way to go
@9TR9K5W10mos10MO
Literally self driving trains/ trams would be infinitely better
@9NCVR3K1yr1Y
Yes, or else the cause of accidents will be defended as “technological errors” instead of human negligence.
@FiReElEpHaNtSocialist11mos11MO
Humans are still held responsible when they are behind the wheel.
Yes, restrictions are necessary and laws need to be updated to hold companies accountable for faulty autonomous vehicles causing accidents.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
Do you believe that the benefits of advanced automotive technologies outweigh the risks of losing human touch in driving?
@9TQX4D310mos10MO
I do not feel sufficiently educated on the issue to provide a comment.
@9TQWTP510mos10MO
No, they have proven to be dangerous to other drivers on the road.
@9TR9WJ2Republican10mos10MO
Yes I completely agree that if cars were to become fully self driven and ran off technology that humans would lose the capability of not only driving, but also the right tools to teach others to drive.
@amayerica#1 1yr1Y
Yes, until we have a clear understanding of what the technology inhibits for us to completely rely on it.
@9TQ2NYHProgressive10mos10MO
I see both sides, I agree tech can make things safer but that we should also be careful and intentional with our use of it
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
Reflect on a time technology failed you; how does that experience shape your view on relying on technology for transportation?
@9TP89MV10mos10MO
My phone died while on an important call. I would not like my car to fail on the road,
I think it can help us but it could mess up so its not 100% reliable
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
How much do you trust technology with your safety compared to a human's decision-making while driving?
@9TR443410mos10MO
Yes and no, because while advanced tech could be very helpful in the cases of disabled drivers, this could lead to tech malfunctions and possible disaster. It might make driving significantly safer though, as some people are bad at driving.
@9VJZYWB9mos9MO
Yes, but not now. In the future this may become a bigger issue but it’s not something to worry about at the moment.
@B5YFK3GIndependent1 day1D
Yes and no, if it’s a new technology and haven’t been tested that long then no but if it has been tested and insured that it works then they should be able to
@B5YB7932 days2D
Yes, but not harshly; at least some people with cognitive difficulty in driving could benefit from these advanced specs to assist them.
No, but it should be regulated and accidents held responsible by both user and the companies creating it
The government should instead give influence towards car companies to ensure they do not make a car that makes it's human over-reliant on it.
@B5TJ2883wks3W
Yes, and we should get rid of all forms of transportation in order to allow for maximum environmental protection, we must walk
@B5T7DWW3wks3W
The government should have children before High School have limited usage of technology to help assist them with learning essential skills like reading, writing, connections, etc better so by the time they reach high school, they have a foundation that can be built off of and people could be proud of.
@B5T3K243wks3W
While I think we are getting too reliant on technology in transportation, I don't think the government should be involved in that sort of thing.
@B5S69QZ3wks3W
No, but account for this in tort law. If accidents happen due to negligence, blame the owner. If accidents happen due to malfunction and NOT negligence, blame the producer.
@B5RFT58 3wks3W
yes but there should be clear safety standards, training for drivers, promotion of development, guidelines, and consideration for the kinds of vehicles
@B5PP6BX4wks4W
I think that it is important that as we get more technologically advanced we need to learn how to responsibly use the technology and not rely on only technology. I think that there needs to be some guide lines on what may be safe or unsafe to have so that we are still living in the relevant times but not being distracted by the bells and whistles on the car.
Yes and no, the government should ensure that there is a clear separation of human-driving vehicles and self-driving vehicles, and ensure that human-driving vehicles are not as restricted as self-driving vehicles
@B5KYFW91mo1MO
I think it should be required in all cases that a human pilot or driver capable of controlling a vehicle should be present at all times during a vehicle's use and that there should always be the option for human controlled steering as a backup, and that this capability should be safe from hacking. Beyond that, I have no objection to tech advancement.
@B5J4DSX1mo1MO
As we develop perhaps this makes sense but for now we should rely on human control until technology advances
@B5H9NZGRepublican2mos2MO
No, but all advanced technology that reduces human control in vehicles should be defeatable by the driver if he/she wants it off.
@B5GVSW82mos2MO
If by advanced this question means artificial intelligence, then yes, AI should be prohibited in the process of operating an automobile.
@B5FBGJ42mos2MO
I believe that advanced technology should be used for everyday use but should be regulated in case of a major event.
@B5DN8N52mos2MO
No, but stringent test and proof of value, use, and successful regulatory minimums should be strictly enforced before making these technologies road legal
I believe that the government shouldn't take too much control to the point where it prevents anything on a person's vehicle. But it's not like high-tech vehicles are required to operate.
@B5CWLVM2mos2MO
Don't regulate technology that can benefit those who might need that technology to drive safer, but still enforce driver safety
@B5CCQML2mos2MO
Yes, but not fully restrict it. Give it a limit on what it can do and how we use it. Don't let it drive for us, make us do the driving.
@B5BYVMX2mos2MO
The government should not restrict use of advanced technology unless there is an excessive amount of AI being used
@B568RBG2mos2MO
it's ok in small scale but the human should always keep themselves in the forefront incase of an event where that tech will no longer work.
@B553FS42mos2MO
Technological advancements that promote safety should continue to develop, but other than that, yes.
@B4ZH4432mos2MO
No because the government doesnt need to be so involved but over-reliance on technology is definitely an issue
@B4YMDH92mos2MO
No, but test the technology so that it's accessible and safe for the primary beneficiaries which tend to be disabled people
@B4YM3R72mos2MO
Yes, I don't believe AI is advanced enough that we can rely on it to the point of entrusting it with our lives in vehicles. Once it advances more, I may come to accept it.
@B4Y8M452mos2MO
It should be regulated and tested before being implemented but it allows people with some disabilities to drive safer.
@Esoteric2mos2MO
No outright restrictions, but tech should always include a human override and pass rigorous safety standards. We need guardrails, not a ban.
@B4VG2C82mos2MO
No, we should allow for automation in order to fuel innovation but allow for certain incentives to intice unreliance
@B4VCNX9Peace and Freedom2mos2MO
They should require the car to tell you that the company isn't responsible for anything that happens because of the driver being reckless and not taking control of it when the car makes a mistake, the driver is.
@B4RTFSC2mos2MO
Yes, but not to maintain human control or prevent over reliance. Regulation and approval of certain technologies should be held to a strict threshold and not an easy pass through.
@B4RRGW42mos2MO
Yes but technology increasing passenger safety and driver awareness should be mandated into the construction of vehicles
@B4QT6KF3mos3MO
Only on certain vehicles such as sport cars or airplanes or boats where A.I. failure could result in harm of lives outside the driver.
@B4PD968Constitution3mos3MO
No, drivers are ahead very distracted, especially due to technology. Technology helping the vehicle travel safely will help.
@B4MBN4R3mos3MO
Yes. But it isn't about over reliance on technology, it's about not having the possibility of the ai (I assumed that's what it meant by "advanced technology") getting hijacked or malfunctioning and risking the life of the "driver" and other people on the road.
@B4KLCSB3mos3MO
no this would be a waste of money and if people want to buy technologically advanced cars then they should be able to
@B4KBZ4T3mos3MO
The government should regulate how much advanced technology is available in a vehicle while also not restricting full use as it is beneficial to arriving to destinations and finding your way around places you may have never traveled to previously.
@B4HZZNJ3mos3MO
Yes, but only in cases where it is used for self-driving technology. Any safety technology should go through a long approval period with extensive testing. Approved advanced safety technologies could benefit us.
@B4GL4ZH 3mos3MO
Yes, especially with Tesla self-driving from how much they get recalled and how many crashes they get into.
@B4FNL7M3mos3MO
requires careful planning and consideration of the impact on other traffic and public transportation
@B4D9X9M3mos3MO
Yes, only until through rigorous testing, that it is safe to implement in vehicles, and there is an emergency override, should it be needed.
@B4CSJFP3mos3MO
Yes the government should restrict the use of advanced technology in vehicles to maintain human control and prevent over- reliance on technology but to a certain point because technology still has to advance with the times so restrict it to the point where we are not relying on it constantly.
@B4C6FCD3mos3MO
Yes, reduce advanced technology like touchscreens and re-impliment buttons and dials, but allow a way to connect a phone for things like GPS or radio/music
@9FZPSHS 3mos3MO
No, but it should establish clear laws and guidelines regarding driver responsibility in any such vehicle
@B4B7PBP3mos3MO
Most drivers are a danger to themselves and others and shouldn’t be on the road, but replacing humans with primitive AI is a poor choice.
@B484DKC3mos3MO
No, but there should be strict national safety and privacy standards regarding technology in vehicles.
@B47NG573mos3MO
Yes but keep all of the safety systems in the cars moving forward no matter how advanced they might be.
@B46RPPK3mos3MO
Advanced tech has its place and time. It would help a blind person but could hurt other people without the right precautions.
@B43HWK2Constitution3mos3MO
No, allow manufacturers to innovate and the free market to decide which technologies, and level of technological control, is most preferred.
@B42DYRTIndependent3mos3MO
Yes, but only autonomous driving. Collision warnings and blind spot monitoring save thousands of dollars and hundreds of lives.
@B3ZYM5D4mos4MO
No. For the sake of capitalism, freedom, federalism, checks and balances, and weak government, they should not.
@B3XQCNCConstitution4mos4MO
No, but every vehicle shall have a guide on how to fix any problems with that specific vehicle by calling for help to that company that built that specific vehicle
@B3WMVJ54mos4MO
Yes, not by restricting what can be there, but by implementing ways the human driver can easily regain control over otherwise autonomous systems.
@B3VL5594mos4MO
No but make sure the technology that isn't as reliable has restrictions as certain technologies can only go so far.
@B3S6T2W4mos4MO
I think this isn't a government question, its a question of ethics and the necessity of it for people who cannot drive.
@B3H8T424mos4MO
AI has been a recent issue and it is still subject to malfunction. It isn’t safe to let something drive a vehicle that has a decent chance of not ‘sensing’ something or getting something wrong.
@B3H82XB4mos4MO
I don't think the government should restrict the use but I think it should be monitored alot more, there are benefits such as cars that will recognise if the driver is unresponsive and attempt to wake them up and pull over while calling emergency services to prevent causing harm to other drivers.
@B3GWC5F4mos4MO
not actually but they have to follow the law created for some kind of this vehicles and have responsible for that
@B3F49XP4mos4MO
People should be encouraged to learn to drive in emergencies or as a basic test, but ultimately, it should be the person’s decision;
@B3DHPL44mos4MO
yes, but still be able to use technology to create better more affordable, safer, and sustainable vehicles.
@B2NPF965mos5MO
I think on the Interstate System autonomous travel is way more efficient. But on standard roads humans should maintain control.
No, the government should not limit the use of advanced technology in vehicles to main human control and prevent an over-reliance on technology. HOWEVER, they should at regulate it to some extent.
@B2G9FRL6mos6MO
No, but drivers should be required to know how to use vehicles without advanced technology to prevent over-reliance on technology
@B2G83G26mos6MO
What do we mean by advanced technology in this case? Are you talking about self-automation? If so, Yes. Companies like Tesla have programed their self-driving software to switch to manual as soon as the vehicle crashes, so those companies aren't held liable thanks to that loophole.
@B2F6SYZ6mos6MO
Good and bad advanced technology both exist and this question shouldn't be limited to just allowing it all or removing it all.
Yes, only until we have found a way to safely use these technologies without developing an over-reliance on them.
@B2686PB6mos6MO
Kinda of we have to have it where humans can still function even without it and if we don’t I plment it like that then us as a species can forget how to do normal things
No, the option for user override for full control over a vehicles should always be an option. This would prevent bad actors taking advantage of autonomous features.
@9ZYNHQ4 7mos7MO
No, but not all physical aspects need to be taken out and switched to technology like they currently are
@9ZY64VJ7mos7MO
Yes, but only on certain things, and should still try to make the technology better so it can be beneficial later.
