What suggestions do the pro truck control bring to the table? If something falls favorably in a cost benefit analysis I'd be glad to support it but I am not personally aware of any proposals which do so.

I have a suggestion.  I was anti driverless cars but it becomes very obvious in the USA that people can't fucking drive.  Hardly anyone pays attention to the road these days focusing on their fucking phones.  Perhaps people should be banned from driving because barely anyone can fucking do it these days.  Too much important shit going on their phone to warrant looking up at the road.  Even if they are looking at the road they are too stupid to realize easy shit like a dedicated turn lane.  Nope just keep sitting there wanting to turn and please don't realize you have a full fucking dedicated turn lane in front of you.

Unfortunately, that is sort of an impossibility. While I support driverless car technology, you can't ask every adult in America to get rid of their current car (which now has no resale value) and go out and spend maybe $50,000 on a new driverless car, which is still sort of unproven technology.

On the other hand, I would be interested in a rollout of a mandate for all cars to contain technology which stops the car (or takes over control) if it deems that your driving is unsafe. If you drive up on the sidewalk, the car stops and calls the cops on you. That said, this wouldn't do anything about all the cars on the market and I'm not even really sure how technically possible it would be.
