PDLBKBR

At the "GarageGeeks and Yossi Vardi hosting Singularity University" event, I had the privilege of attending a talk by Brad Templeton.

Templeton serves as the Singularity University Networks & Computing Chair, as well as Chairman Emeritus of the EFF. He also consults for Google's driverless car team.

An acronym he used stayed with me:

PDLBKBR: People Don't Like Being Killed by Robots.

This, he said, is the "risk perception asymmetry". People would rather be killed by drunks.

Edit: Listen as Brad explains how society can adapt to a new method of transportation at "Driving Innovation: A Speaker Series Powered by Nissan Motor Company".
