There are really two ways to look at this. The first is that old people just don’t understand nor care how technology works. You can drag grandma to the Apple store, but you can’t force her buy an iPhone. To them, it’s all just scientifically plausible witchcraft. My grandparents own a printer but still need to have all important emails printed out by someone else and mailed to them because they can’t grasp the concept of the ‘print’ button. Our generation could probably start making a drinking game where we finish a beer every time an old person says “Oh, I’m not on that internet” when they get overwhelmed by even the simplest of technological tasks and we’d literally never be sober.
On the flip side, this shit has to be fucking terrifying if you’re sober. Your life is in the hands of a random computer A.I. that is pretty much just the motor vehicle version of Google Maps. All the computer has to do is take a turn 3 mph too fast or not break when some agitated soccer mom tears out of her hidden driveway without looking and that’s it, you’re dead or in a wheelchair. If computers really want to take over the world, all they have to do is convince mankind that these cars are safe and then slowly but surely make more and more right turns too fast and suddenly we’re all in the hospital hooked up to machines. At the end of the day, old people really are the only ones who should be riding in these cars. They’ve already lived a full life and are completely immune to the sway of the newest piece of hardware. They’re like humanity’s secret weapon against SkyNet. So go home and hug your grandma, she may be your only hope.
