Welcome to the Wallach Show after Castle, the stuff we did not get to during the course of the show today.

You know, automation has become such a big part of our lives.

We try to automate everything.

And I think it's because we want to all live in that future life and we all want an

assistant but we can't afford one so when you get digital assistance and things

like that you feel all boosy and so then you've got places like China that are

messing around with driverless cars.

And so like kind of like Uber's but they don't have drivers.

It's all controlled by robots.

Computer.

Yeah.

And so there was a driverless car that hit a person crossing against the light in China.

So it was a ride hailing car, it hit a pedestrian, and people on social media in China are taking

the carmakers' side because the person was crossing against the light. But see this is the difference in culture.

Chinese people are very regimented and they are very for the rules because their

whole life is about rules. The government controlled so many things.

So it's just natural. I think it's part of their culture too. It's become we follow rules and other places outside of the

US like in France. I was, we were at France in France at the Eiffel Tower years ago, and it's so low and these

metal bars and they don't have any cushion on them and it just sign watch your head watch your head and I remember talking to my brother-in-law who lived there and I'm like I can't believe they don't get sued and he's like it's not a litigious society like that they figure the Eiffel Tower's been here longer than you, so you need to watch your head.

And I think it's the same way in China with this, it's like, they're like, look, these are the rules. You should not have been crossing against the light.

What happens happens at that point.

But our society is like we are bent on personal freedom and I should be allowed to cross the street
