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.

  I assume you mean where the mean lady refused to touch you.

  And here we have a perfect little capsule of how men and women are indeed different. It might be genetic, it might be socialization, it might be both, but it's profound no matter how it came about.

  Let's see if "that lady our mothers warned us about" even gets it.

  Or perhaps I have a fondness for humor just about a blonde one above slapstick. How is it that while trying to appear to drop meaningful social commentary you just come off like a jerk? The question is who did you think you were going to impress?
  
  Only an idiot would deny there are differences between the sexes. Most of the crowd here only eat paste because they enjoy the texture.

    As I said, you'll say this right up until the topic of transsexuals comes up (and by transsexuals, we mean she-males, the whole empire of 'em).

    Then suddenly, there are no differences between the sexes and gender is a social construct!

      Is that straw man physically attractive to you, is that why you keep holding it so high?
