The dilemma

A neighbor is at your door with a clipboard: the petition to keep manual driving legal. Your father sits on the sofa behind you, pretending not to listen. The whole vote started after a robotaxi crash that killed a passenger, one of a string of wrecks at the same three downtown junctions. 'I just need your name,' she says.

Your options

1. Sign it. People should keep the right to steer their own lives.
2. Wave it off. Fewer people die when cars drive themselves, and that comes first.
3. Refuse to sign, but tell her you will fight any ban that dumps drivers with nothing.
