I am a mixed human-cat-bird and think that this can happen within the next 50 years . A mixed human-cat bird? I thought you were a Skittles Cat?

What’s more scary IMO and is going to be the norm much sooner is self-driving cars (better known as driverless cars)!

I know that technology has evolved to such a point where self-driving cars are safe and ethical, but I would still prefer to drive a "dumb car" and not solely rely on technology for driving.

Thing is, self-driving cars still wouldn’t completely eliminate the likelihood of a car accident despite some saying it would. In fact, there's no legal precedent for how a case would be handled if an accident occurred. Who holds responsibility in a car accident - the driver? The car manufacturer? The software developer? Who knows. That’s a big issue currently. Job loses in the transportation, especially when it comes to freight transportation and taxi drivers etc would be another worry much like what is currently happening with self-service in retail. Humans will probably have no use one day as everything will done for us by computers.

Humans will probably have no use one day as everything will done for us by computers. True. I guess it would depend on the context of the accident. Technically all accidents revolving self-driving cars would be the fault of the car manufacturer and/or the software developer, however I can't see that being the case when self-driving cars become common. Think of all the self-driving car accidents that would occur worldwide. The car manufacturers and/or the software developer would be losing millions of dollars each year, having to pay for insurance costs and court fees. At the end of the day, the onus will most likely be on the owner of the self-driving car. However, in some cases, the car manufacturer and/or the software developer may be at fault too, depending on the seriousness of the accident. I agree. It's a scary thought, but it's bound to happen one day, unfortunately. I remember reading an article a few months ago which pinpoints 2029 as the year AI will reach human intelligence! :S

The sad thing is, a lot of people involved in such car accidents would probably threaten to shoot each other, given the gun culture over there!

In regards to their gun culture, I know people still feel sorry for them and all, but I personally don’t anymore. They don’t help themselves so why should I (and whoever else) really care what goes on over there? I doubt anything will ever change when it comes their gun laws. No one seems to have the guts to fix the problem.

No one seems to have the guts to fix the problem. That's the opinion I have as well. I know Barack Obama wanted tougher restrictions on gun laws, however he didn't have the support of the senate. Realistically, I don't think any President will be in the position to enforce such restrictions, due to the ramifications that it would bring. A large proportion of the American public would retaliate if they were faced with the real prospect of tougher gun restrictions. It would be chaos and would only do more harm than good.

Yep. And the same thing is always said whenever mass shootings happen - “now's not the time to discuss gun control”. You have to ask, when is the time? If it was ever going to change it would’ve been when that mass school shooting occurred (can’t remember where now) a few years years ago, but nothing changed.
