Hard to know what could be done about this.

Perhaps put cones on the heads of apprehended protestors.

The central delusion of urban anti-car protestors is that public transport is accessible or safe. Fine if you’re young and single. Not great if you’re elderly, female, or travelling with small kids.

Of course, anybody out engaged in this self-righteous nonsense is unlikely to be either elderly, female, or to have kids.

"They've even un-alived a person and a dog."

Is this some kind of 'woke' way of stating that "they killed..."???

WTAF?

TikTok has very strict content guidelines. Using the word death or killed or similar means your video will be suppressed by the algorithm so people have come up with alternatives. See also corn, seggs etc.

It's 1984 newspeak

I've no strong opinions on self driving cars but the video is funny. The car is left sitting there completely befuddled with its hazards on, looking like a fat unicorn.

Reminded me of that trick where you hypnotise a chicken by drawing a line on the ground.

Can't see anything wrong with it myself. Were they asked if driverless cars were ok with them?

Also interesting to see driverless cars acting dumb as fk and blocking up the roads. Totally unexpected ..

How exactly does a cone on the bonnet stop a driverlwess car from working?

I’d guess that the cameras / radar can see it but it can’t drive round it, so it sts itself.
