If you want it to just be enough to ruin their lifes then why don't we just start executing them on the side of the road?

I'm having real trouble understanding people who advocate for a world like that. Tomorrow it might be your mom checking your text to bring some orange juice from the store aswell and then she hits a pedestrian and now we're going to ruin her life for it because apparently she deserves it. This is the world you guys want to live in?

Or someone close to you could be killed by a driver using autopilot like this.
