Blogger MSweetwood (132K followers) says he has driven high-horsepower manual cars all his life and, at 60, publicly challenges any self-driving car to match his speed and safety in heavy traffic or difficult conditions.
He says he might change his mind only when his reflexes and vision decline, adding 'the challenge is on. Bring it on.' The post sparked a debate with Robert Scoble and others over human vs FSD driving.
