See ur baby holder and raise you this genius idea:

The 1960 Corvair dash baby cradle – a safe, comfortable way to carry your baby before car seats were even a concept. Warmest place in the car, it has a rear engine, and the engine vibrations lulls the baby.

I usually am very adversarial towards you, but in this specific incident, it is not my intent.

UAS crash... a lot. I’m not sure I can cite an unclassified source, so you’ll have to trust me.
Further: I did an autoland for MX the other day, it was horrible: the nose slammed down and wondered down the centerline. It’s not the first time I’ve had a “successful but crappy” autoland.
We are nowhere close to fully automated anything.

You're assessing technology that's actually been deployed already. And I agree, it's woefully deficient. But that's not what we're fast approaching. The technology of twenty years from now will make autoland like the old radio ranges.

Flying to Hawaii, same procedures for decades, minus the CPDLC which makes life super easy. How are we not tracked in live time, how did MH370 just disappear over the ocean? Oh wait, we know.

I agree, the fully automated thing is nowhere close to reality and won’t be for a long time.

At this point, my car does a better job at highway driving than I do.

Why is that surprising? Meaning of life questions aside... For most of us, our plane does a better job of flying, too! For some of us, a MUCH better job.:)

It's not even close, either. And the real benefit is safety. My car is ten times more cautious than I am. Where I'll go barreling down next to a semi without a second thought, the Tesla gets really cautious, and the slightest flinch from the semi, it slows down to let it get ahead to stay out of the way of any danger.

Funny. You'll probably come back with a dis, but your Tesla drives the same way I was taught to drive. Maybe Telsas get their driving-safety protocols and algorithms from, ah, basic high school driver's ed.
 
So... we've seen a bunch of good evidence. Can we now all agree with the basic premise that "self-regulation" doesn't, ahem, sufficiently regulate??

You’re probably right. But few people actually drive that way. :)

Yeah, so what? The point is... THEY SHOULD.

Granted I'm a bit amped up right now as just a while ago, I pressed the big flashing yellow caution light button a at pedestrian crossing only to have three cars go speeding (literally, legally, and metaphorically) through the crosswalk with nary a notice of or care for the BIG FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS!
When he slows down enough to maybe even notice, I suspect one guy is not going to like the key stripe down the side of his car. "What? I hit something???" "Yeah, Dick. You hit something."
