They probably realized self-driving cars wont be a thing maybe ever.
This push for self driving car push is so fucking regarded given that there are literally things a million times easier to automate like trams, ltr and trains, metro etc.
Basically anything on rails.
there was no need to use a slur to get your point across
What slur and why the fuck not?
Regarded
Kind regards
"Retarded" was once a medical and technical term. It's not any more and has officially been redefined in dictionaries as abusive slur against people who have a serious medical condition... and you used it in the modern context.
The word is socially unacceptable now. Stop using it.
that's retarded, I also haven't used it, until now.
"retarded" is also not a medical term, mental retardation and the like are medical terms, retard has a specific meaning, for example if your arm stops developing at a young age, then you have a retarded arm, it has also been used as a slur for the longest time, stop trying to police words because it might hurt someone's feelings.
