    It also takes way longer to teach someone to properly ride a horse than to drive a car.

      @northernnarwhal though teaching someone to drive a car well takes a hell of a lot longer.

        @yodelerty Depends on your definition of "well", really.

          @northernnarwhal Well the countless people I see everyday who don't signal when changing lanes would be considered poor drivers by me. Same with the people who tailgate and brake too hard. Pretty much if you don't do that kind of stuff you're golden.

            @yodelerty Who's to say people wouldn't do the same thing riding horses though?

              @northernnarwhal They might but horses are actually sentient and crashing with a horse is less likely to be deadly. Though the horse might not be okay. I don't know why I'm arguing I don't even like horses

                @yodelerty Them being sentient also means you, as a driver, have less control. Which, depending on the situation, can make accidents more prone.

                  @northernnarwhal I'm not going to argue because I don't think horses would be better and I'm bad at arguing anyway

                    @yodelerty My point is blaming the car and blaming the driver are different things.

                  @northernnarwhal Co-operating with the horse is important, too; the automatic safety features of new cars already exist in animals. They stop at the edges of cliffs, navigate through crowds, avoid bumping into other animals...

                    @caret7 That's all fine and dandy, but the problem is given their are two thinking units it's not unreasonable for one to disagree with the other in terms of direction or input.

                      @northernnarwhal They might disagree, true. Since the horse is underneath, closer to the ground, it might know a safer path. But the human knows the city layout. So when should one or the other be trusted, I wonder?

                        @caret7 The other problem is the means of communication is limited. Generally, if one wants to go somewhere the other doesn't it's already too late.

                @yodelerty Thought it was a conversation not an argument.

                  @awlditzy I really have no idea what constitutes conversation as you may have noticed.
