    Distracted Driving Is Out of Control, and There's No Single Cure
    One study found that young drivers spend 12 percent of time behind the wheel looking at their phones. This is getting bad, people.

    A major problem with self driving cars is that because they must have a built in and growing defensive component to the algorithm,which might not be challenged because of a common desire for safety and convenience, eventually will become, (and/or maybe are already) judges and monitors of 'criminality'and 'unusual' behaviours of various kinds. For example a 4am visit to a remote rural location to look at a full moon might be deemed to be 'abnormal'. These cars will become a policing entity by algorithm and will challenge what you can and can't do and are another of the 'smart' devices to add to the growing network of monitoring, policing and control tools. They will sooner or later be able to be judge and jury along with their 'smart' and networked, communicating, counterparts and embody penalty and punishment as legitimized algorithmic components.
    When users become aware that there is an element of penalty then you have a mobile and personal behaviour control/modification tool. The control/modification component is designed in from the outset and is very prevelent in almost evey aspect our societies and is growing exponentially with high tech. Everything from a fluffy toy to a football contains this element in it's design and usage perameters. Try taking a football into a mall and bouncing it a couple of times in front of the cameras to see what I mean, or go for a walk with a conspicuous Teddy bear under your arm at 2 am and see what attention and reprimand that draws. When Artificial Intelligence (AI) has control of the movement and spacial, profiling cameras, try hopping down the street at 8pm and you will soon find yourself locked up in a police cell. When the mountains, rivers,and countryside is policed and patrolled by AI with camera, drones, sensors with particular algorithms and computed at quantum speed then we are lost. If you look around at the control and behaviour modification that current ordinary objects have on you then you will see what I mean. Whatever you do, don't squeeze that toothpaste tube the wrong way or there will be big trouble.
