Why stop at autonomous cars? New cars monitor drivers for “drowsiness” and have internal/external cameras. Why not monitor for guns too? Maybe they should even refuse to drive if you’re holding a gun!

And why stop at cars? Maybe home cameras should call the cops if they see a weapon. Maybe your Apple Watch should detect if you’ve fired a gun. Brave new world!

So would you also install a camera in your own car to monitor for illegal activity and call the cops on you? How would you feel if your car came standard with the feature and no way to turn it off?

It's an absolutely beautiful story!

The only issue is a somewhat wasteful use of police time - Waymo should have taken them straight to juvenile hall.
