#Hard errors?
Geez, Doug, have you been out driving lately? I come from Boston, and I can
tell you there are MANY drivers around here that should NOT be allowed near a
car. I have even seen cruisers ignore flagrant violations. (In England, if
ONE INCH of your car is on the pedestrian crossing at a red light you will be
bawled out, embarrassed, fined etc. Here, NO ONE fails to get at least half
the car into the intersection. Pedestrians MUST walk around.)
Morality is fine. In books. If the government were to "monitor" driving
better (i.e. more enforcement of the laws) it would be very good in my book.
That may be analogous to "training" in your sense. And I would NOT mind cars
that had built in mechanical means of preventing death and maiming in case of
accidents. And I WOULD be willing to pay more for that.
Another thing: reasearch has shown that there are various learning styles.
Some folks read a manual before they do anything. Others like to jump right
in and resort to the manual only as needed. Neither is more responsible or
moral than the other, in my view. These are just styles of learning.
