Summary
Washington Baptist pastors are lobbying against a D.C. bill that would let driverless cars operate commercially in the city.
The pastors argue autonomous vehicles are “antihuman” and replace people in ways they see as morally wrong rather than socially beneficial.
Rev. A. Michael Charles Durant of Tenth Street Baptist Church framed the campaign in religious terms, saying Jesus “either walked or rode a beast” and would oppose technology “opposed to people.”
