Interesting article I’ve found here. Self-driving cars should be called “cryptocybers”? Ha! Why is that? “Crypto” because the driving mechanism is not understood by the layperson, “the driver is hidden,” and “cyber” because that is the actual correct word for “driver.” “Automobile” cannot be used because that word has already been used for manual driving car.
The problem with the name of self-driving cars: when almost all other words are taken and repurposed for uses that are not entirely consistent with their original meaning.
