"Crashes involving autonomous driving have attracted widespread attention online, only for posts to be censored. State media outlets have compared concerns about job loss for taxi drivers to the Luddite movement."

Government hiding bad news and gaslighting might also effect responses.

"The answer may be related to how the technology has been deployed in each country, as well as how the government and industry leaders have talked about it."

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: β€œMake no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.
