Should the government restrict the use of advanced technology in vehicles to maintain human control and prevent over-reliance on technology?

This considers limiting the integration of advanced technologies in vehicles to ensure humans retain control and to prevent dependency on technological systems. Proponents argue that it preserves human control and prevents over-reliance on potentially fallible technology. Opponents argue that it hinders technological progress and the benefits that advanced technology can bring to safety and efficiency.

I don't think the government should have the final say, rather the technology should be available and our voices as the people should help aid autonomy of our own choices so we can be aware and have awareness conversations, I feel as if the government having the last say is a danger to autonomy.

Yes, but not to maintain control rather to ensure the safety of the technology on the field

If cars could drive themselves to any destination, what would be your biggest concern about not being in control?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How much do you trust technology with your safety compared to a human's decision-making while driving?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Imagine a car that gets software updates like a smartphone; what fears or excitements does this idea bring to you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you think having more automated features in cars makes drivers too reliant on technology and less skilled?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

In a future where cars can fully drive themselves, what skills do you think drivers should still learn and why?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How do you think advanced car technologies could change the way our cities look and how we design roads?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Reflect on a time technology failed you; how does that experience shape your view on relying on technology for transportation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you feel about driving a car that can make decisions on its own, like braking or steering away from obstacles?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you believe that the benefits of advanced automotive technologies outweigh the risks of losing human touch in driving?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Would you prefer a self-driving car to save you time on your commute, even if it means giving up some control over the vehicle?

Trump Targets FAA Diversity Programs In Crash Aftermath

Trump made controversial claims linking diversity initiatives at the FAA to a deadly Potomac River collision that killed 67 people, despite acknowledging he had no evidence to support these assertions.The disability recruitment program Trump criticized actually began during his own administration in April 2019, with the FAA launching a pilot program for 20 people with targeted disabilities to work in air traffic operations.Experts, including Tennessee Garvey from the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals, stated that no aviation incident has ever been attributed to diversity initiatives as a cause or contributing factor.The federal policy for hiring people with disabilities dates back to the Bush administration in 2003 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which was initially created to protect veterans with disabilities.FAA workforce diversity has shown minimal changes over recent years: white male representation decreased from 58.9% in 2016 to 55.3% in 2023, while employees with targeted disabilities increased from 0.7% to 2%.The aviation industry's diversity efforts were primarily driven by labor shortages and the need to fill positions as pilots retire, rather than purely demographic goals.All candidates, regardless of background or disability status, must meet the same rigorous standards for aptitude, medical qualifications, and security clearances.Historical barriers, including segregation, prevented Black aviation professionals from entering the industry until the civil rights movement and subsequent lawsuits.The Biden administration has continued similar diversity initiatives, with slight increases in representation across different demographic groups.A pending lawsuit filed by a conservative legal organization claims discrimination against applicants due to Obama-era hiring practices, though the case hasn't been resolved.
