"TRS-80 Assembly Language Made Easy"? You can have my copy. I recall similar debates when electronic ignition systems were required to meet emissions standards. There were outrageous columns in the car magazines when air bags were introduced. Something about air bags going off when the car went over railroad tracks. Nobody smokes a pipe in the car anymore. It is one thing to win a DARPA contest and quite another to put 50 million reliable units on the road. I put safety and control over convenience. I only use the cruise control on limited access highways. On hilly country roads the lag time is too long, one must anticipate the grade and accelerate out of a turn. As for privacy and control one need only spoof the sensors to fool the system. I decide what is appropriate technology for myself and my family. Silly politicians, socialism is for kids.
