    Default Dear State Rep; Please do something about controlling motor vehicles

    Please do something (enact law) to establish motor vehicle controls. Motor vehicles are dangerous devices that are used to inflict grevous bodily harm and death. There needs to be controls, the sooner the better.

    (Auto-response...Thank you for contacting me yada yada yada......)

    P.S.- To POOFA..... Still waiting for a response to my October 10th communication. Well, not really waiting with any expectations.

    The self driving car raises serious ethical issues. For instance, will these cars be programmed to protect the driver and passengers at all cost, or assuming it cannot stop in time, will it be programmed to swerve away from careless pedestrians or wild animals and into a brick wall or over a cliff to avoid hitting them?

    All I'm picturing with this is Mayhem on the Allstate commercial sitting in the aftermath of a collision saying "Recalculating!"

    Wow! I got a real response from a real aid to the Representative:

    Hello (Bang) – Representative Galloway asked me to reply to your email. I’m assuming your email is in reference to the tragedy in New York where bicyclists were run down by a man driving a rental truck. In your email you ask for controls for motor vehicles. I cannot think of any controls which would stop a driver from aiming a vehicle at a group of people riding bikes. What sort of controls would you suggest? I look forward to hearing your ideas regarding this matter.

    Sincerely,

    Jakki Fitzmaurice
    Chief of Staff to
    State Rep. John T. Galloway
    140th Legislative District

    I am considering suggesting they research the 20,000 gun laws on the books. Somewhere in those there must be something that would work as well.
