Yeah thats some of the old stuff.
I'm more interested in the book he is supposed to be writing on artificial
intelligence.
The "new" atheist thing is just a label put on those guys who dont bend to
pc pressure when talking about issues.
He's been done with religious topics for a while now but people who see him
as bigoted keep dragging him back into dead discussions.

Who is Sam Harris? Also I’m a little sketchy on the definition of ‘moral’
but I don’t think it fits in there.
As to whether or not I would care about driving if someone else (human or
robot) could do it better than me, then no. I would be more than happy to
be chauffeured around. While driving itself can be a nice experience,
mostly I’d rather be staring out the window and enjoying the scenery.

One of the moral questions is if self driving cars become unequivocally
safer than human drivers would you still want to drive?
