Hi, I’m an idiot. Of course you know this already. You also know I’m your idiot, which is why I’m coming to you now. See, I applied to give a talk at the next South by Southwest (SXSW, which will be virtual) about autonomous cars, and I completely forgot that , and today’s the last day, and, well, here we are.

Jalopnik does SXSW , too.

So. Would you vote to hear me give a talk about AVs? I want to do it for a few reasons: First, I want to say to an audience very likely full of his stans and watch them get all sweaty and mad. Because we know how fun that is.

I also want to keep sounding the alarm that I think they’ll lead to more trouble. The problem isn’t technological, it’s related to human behavior, and that needs to be more widely understood.

Also,

You don’t have to vote for it, but if you feel inclined, I’d appreciate it. Thanks so much!
