I see, you'd prefer to continue the prior experiment of humans flying around corners in multi-thousand-pound vehicles, over the speed limit, while sipping coffee and looking at the radio?

So what does this mean for Timmy (16 years old) learning how to drive? Should that also be banned, lest he runs over some kid? Or does he get a pass because he's a human and not a faceless corporation? Maybe he can repay the favor in 60 years when he gets run over by another teenager learning how to drive?

How dare you call my kids pedestrian. They're better than that.

Experimenting only on the boring ordinary kids doesn't seem fair either.

It's only when kids play in the streets that capitalist companies are to blame.

We never blame kids playing on publicly-subsidized subway infrastructure.
