I don't think anyone here needs convincing about why self driving cars are a terrible idea, but Not Just Bikes posted a video about it some days ago laying out how dire it really is if we allow self-driving cars to go on unquestioned
I agree, it is really hyperbolic, and it's likely not to go that way. But it lays out the limitations and dangers of giving the streets to private companies and having transit be held hostage.
Baidu is the largest robotaxi operation in the world right now and China doesn't tend to let companies burn money on nonsense for too long, so I think they at least have a spinoff merit.
Chinese people are not immune to techbro brainworms though, just look how popular Melon and Tesla are in the PRC.
I believe the cpc has members on the board of Baidu, so this isn't about the people, this is about the state.
