More likely it would make things awkward with friends and neighbors. That was a whole thing in Floridian retirement communities people would straight up rock Trump stickers but voted Biden so they wouldn't be ostracized.

Wait, what??? I was just using ReVanced and have no issues with it, what's wrong with ReVanced???
Looking at it another way: we're all guinea pigs if we consider untested public policy that should work in theory.
Self-driving is not untested, but the problem is that deep down AI is just a lot of statistically derived rules and life is random and will inevitably find a loophole. Technically it's still less likely to kill you on average, maybe even on average if you exclude drunk driving, street racing, and the like.
It's really a philosophical question: would you take dying by your own fuck-up over dying because an AI confused a piece of cardboard for a brick wall or pedestrian?
I think the sweet spot is having the AI back up the human instead of the other way around, but that won't sell as well as reading a book on your commute.
If the true goal of organizations advocating against civilian gun ownership (and publishing statistics you cite) were to save lives then educators, in recognition of the fact that about half of households own at least one firearm, would actually ensure children could at least make a gun safe (properly unload) instead of the abstinence approach that is taught today in every school.
I have advised several people AGAINST buying firearms for self defense, Knowing they would not train adequately to become proficient. Guns are not a blanket solution, but a baseball bat or knife? By any unskilled user? Like two 200-300 pound dudes breaking down the door of a 100 pound person whose never received martial arts training would be better off with a bat? That is hilarious and absurd. With that being said it's a much lower bar to get proficient enough with a firearm that one can handle it safely and stand a good chance of defending themselves against even multiple attackers. As for the statistical dangers yes but two things: zero guns obviously means zero gun suicides, and if your objective is to produce quickly communicable punch lines, it's easy to manipulate statistics to suit your aims - virtually every number used by people who favor complete civilian disarmament is cherry picked once you dig down into to sources and see what is included and excluded from those figures.
They could have just voted Republican if they were just going to oppose the same policies they voted for...
It's really not cheaper in practice, the legal hurdles for the death penalty are more expensive to overcome than just keeping someone locked up for life.
It might get cheaper if you're executing in volume, like thousands of people, but then we'd be looking at a whole other sort of problems (like "how did we turn into China?")
Passenger door to passenger door doubles the available space for your door to open on the driver's side. Especially important with kids you need to get in and out where you can't just slip through.
Exemptions that only apply rules to the common people. Maybe device registration with an exception using ipv6 address
The title is lierally how the Soviet Union operated and how the CCP operates today
Not the Logitech I became a fan of, glad they updated the name to Logi reflecting they're half the company they used to be.
I miss the old Logitech software and Logitech Gaming Software, from like 10 years ago.
Now I can't even launch the driver software to adjust my webcam or mouse behavior from my work computer because of legitimate Internet security settings preventing random background apps from exfilteating data, which is exactly what it's trying to do.
Customer support of course blames the user for their app that will never finish loading until it talks to the mother ship.
You give them too much credit. There is more corporate money backing the lobbying for corporate interests, feeding into the "private" funding for universities and funding academia and influencing education plans for primary schools, than the entire Russian economy several times over. Please go drink your verification can of mountain dew to affirm your fealty to our benevolent corporate sponsors.
