A very small survey of people of different ages suggests that there are age and gender differences in the acceptance of riding in automated cars. In summary, 2,600 people in the US replied and of them 38% of the men and just 16% of women would be happy to ride in an automated vehicle. About a quarter of respondents said they would feel safe in a driverless car while around two thirds said they would not travel unless there was a driver. No mention was made about their opinions of sharing the road with these massive projectiles when driving themselves in traditional cars.

    But an escalator is never out of order, it just becomes stairs. "Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience." -Mitch Hedberg

    People sometimes lose limbs on escalators.

      Just wait at the top, the limbs will show up there eventually.
