I can excuse the judicial overthrow of democracy, but I draw the line at Matt Yglesias takes on autonomous vehicles *removes clothing, runs outside, begins rioting*

There is literally zero evidence that China's official embrace of autonomous vehicles has benefitted their development in any way besides censoring information that might negatively affect the public's view of the technology, which I will go out on a limb and say is something we should not emulate!

I suppose it's nice that Yglesias has improved over the last decade: instead of saying it's good and right for people working in factories overseas to die from lax safety regulation he now thinks it's good and right for *everyone* to die from lax safety regulation.

Matty has always been, uh, the least intellectually accomplished of his class which includes some outright idiots. Never liked his work.
