Safety. Also, it's a decadent waste of money, a disgusting excess of conspicuous consumption
I’m happy with driving myself. I don’t like riding much with other drivers and riding with no driver scares the hell out of me.

at this point the technology is still in it's infancy and there are still major safety concerns to work out
Lowering taxes and getting rid of the socialist
If autonomous equates with self-driving, I will not use such for my transportation needs.
Reducing energy costs/reopening Line 5 pipeline
Don't trust it. Too much potential for deadly mistakes. Machines are not infallible.
stop supporting the fake pandemic and fake vaccines
I don't believe in the concept, trust the technology nor am I going to be forced to accept and use it. Personal choice must remain the main factor and refusal must be an option. I like driving my way...not some stupid programmed way.
livable wage for longevity, more requirements/stipulations for welfare. Time limits for govenment assistance.

They are too dangerous and not dependable.
I don't like or trust technology to do the thinking and/or keep me safe. I would literally be worried sick the entire time so even if the ride went without incident it would still be terrible for my health.
I don't know what this means to comment on it.
I would have trust issues in that type of vehicle.
That technology doesn't impress me much. I can drive myself.

How to provide training to fill skilled employee shortage
I would not feel safe, these cars will not be able to be supported with the electric system that is being developed for a long time so why do you ask these silly questions there is a lot of work to be done before we can safely use these cars, lets take this one step at a time.
Making sure our water is safe & chemical free

I don't trust them. Been to many accident.
Because Tesla's on autopilot kill people
Stop the Covid nonsense. No restrictions anywhere!
Not interested! Rural people have different. needs in vehicles than city people. We need heavy duty vehicles for hauling farm animals and heavy duty trailers. It is outrageous to think EVERYONE should have these useless, stupid and dangerous vehicles. It is expensive to install charging stations and when a battery for one of those vehicles dies, it is extremely expensive to replace. Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! Government control.
More attention to the U.P. and Northern Lower MI
No more blue state blues. Tired of dealing with idiots
Because I have no control and I don't trust them at all and never will.
I like driving and oppose anything that takes that away from me. Additionally, I feel like autonomous vehicles are a security risk in many ways. They may collide with an unseen obstacle in front of them if a car that had previous obstructed view of the obstacle suddenly darts out of the way. Also, they open the door for software failures (or insecurities) literally killing people (like occurs in Amazon's Upload to Robbie Amell's character).
Don’t trust machines to perform as safely as manual vehicles.
I don't need to. It's an unnecessary expense to tack on to your car. And while I believe that the autonomous vehicle can move well enough in a city, in rural areas animals, such as deer are far more unpredictable than people. I don't believe the car would stop in time to avoid hitting a deer, or would even see the potential for danger in a deer on the side of the road.
I previously worked as a test driver and have used them. I have seen too many flaws and circumstances that the programming doesn't suit.
fixing the dam roads in northern michigan

Fast speed INTERNET made available to everyone
How to low thing .. And they need to live how they expect seniors to .
To get rid of Ben Frederick. He's a scourge on society
It is a stupid concept. If you want things safer, enforce the law, get illegals without a license or without being able to speak and read English off the road.
Roads, Bridges, and Affordable Internet Access
I don't think they are quite safe enough yet to trust. And the companies manufacturing them don't hold enough liability.
protect the integrity of Michigan's election system against Trump's attempts to dismantle it
I like to have control of my vehicle. It isn't proven safe. Technology is not making us smarter, it is making us dumber. Add more things that something else does for us and we will ruin civilization in the long run.
I don't want to support big tech by using their silly self driving cars
Don't trust it with all the potholes in the roads, animals that go across roads, and other drivers.

Fixing all the pot holes on the roads to prevent damages to our cars.
Not safe. We do not need to be in the control of robots. Not safe.
Illegal immigration and drug/sex trafficking
I would never set foot in a autonomous vehicle because I have lots of experience with computers and apps and software, etc and I'm not about to entrust my life to some driving AI that could take a crap at any moment. What happens if you're flying down the highway and some kids hack your vehicle and drive you off a bridge or maybe you just get the Blue Screen Of Death on it's meaning becomes literal because the brakes fail or the accelerator glitches and plows you into a wall or an train or an on coming vehicle? I know, the odds maybe low, but I'll bet you a coke, right now, there will be an "average AV mishap deaths per year" when these things become more common, and everyone knows it! ...Sorry, got in my old man feels!
I just would rather have conrol over my car that is why I drive a stick
I'm still not sure I'm comfortable riding in a vehicle controlled 100% by artificial intelligence
not sure im not invested in politics or the news
getting people self actualized and independant
i would prefer to drive myself for my safety
Education, especially in providing equitable education to all students
I don't trust that technology. I think it is untested and potentially unsafe. I am much more comfortable being firmly in charge of my car. Cars are very dangerous and I don't trust other drivers let alone a computer with no eyes.
Whitmer needs to stop being obstructionist
Fixing everyones unemployment they're still waiting on
Balancing living wage mandates with fiscal responsibility
Too many negative factors, such as the mix of autonomous and manually controlled vehicles, bad actors compromising transportation networks, programming flaws.

CRT removed, taxes, Mi water problem, freedom of speech
I do not trust an algorithm to properly handle all situations.
Raising financial stability in our community
Housing issues, high rent, homeless population
lowering taxes so the working class can breath.
Too easy for the technology to be hacked - until it becomes impossible to hack into the software that controls autonomous vehicles, I will never trust my life to a system that I do not have absolute control over.
Focus on fixing the roads, especially Hillsdale County Michigan
Computers have never functioned correctly at all times for as long as we have been using them. While this is also true of people, there is a reasonable line of culpability and responsibility that we have built into our entire transportation ecosystem with human drivers.
government more closely aligned with my beliefs
Programs assist children & families in the foster care system, as well as to get people off assistance and into the workforce. Building small businesses up, making trade school & university cheaper and more universal so that all can attend
Preventing the spread of COVID-19 and its variants.
Why would I? It may be better to WALK! SAFER ALSO.
I use a vehicle to do errands and appointments. I don't want the extra cost for an autonomous vehicle and I do not feel safe riding in one.
Do away with paying back unemployment money.
Reducing gasoline, sales, and property taxes.
If I were to drive in a car, I would want to be in control of the car. I am not a LAZY millennial.
Helping the onces that actually need help they worrying about the people who are scamming others or any yall there alot people struggling and yallnfail to see that
I will be in control of my vehicle. Forcing electric and driverless is not good.
I only recently moved here, so I’m not sure
To buy property and/or finally get out of the US
I don’t feel safe with the idea. Plus, Elon Musk is a big player in this arena and I do not trust him at all. He is selfish, unpredictable, and generally evil.
Those motherfuckers shouldn't touch a damn thing until they are replaced. Track record so far has been defied my expectations. At which point voting rights, infrastructure, police reform (including adding cops to placed that have none), and education reform in that order.
I can't pin point one. Just continue to make Lansing better
The extreme high prices for food, gas and other essentials
I want to have a human in control of my car.
I want to be in control of my own destruction.
Because I am not comfortable with a machine driving me around. It cannot anticipate some unexpected actions that humans can.
Their has been crashes and will be more I’m out
because I dont like other people driving me
Anything other than the distractions they do focus on.
It scares me too much. I don’t trust technology with my life.
We will solve problems affecting people's livelihood.
Getting together as humans. Put people over money. They need to get together and not leave the room until there is agreement.
Helping the cities they represent we are struggling
Our roads and gas prices. Teachers wages need to be higher.
I don't feel comfortable riding in that type of vehicle thank you.
Because it’s not a human being driving some thing and besides we’re not in the future where there’s no one driving
The most important issue to prevent societal collapse in terms of class division is to seek, evaluate, and hire a team that directly focuses on paperwork vs. actual work deficiencies and examines efficiency and socio-economic equality in absolute lack of effective evaluation of local governing bodies that are costing the state billions in deficits due to internal preference and determination to bend/break rules for a select few allowing upper-class vacation property owners to list their properties for sale and refuse to sell at full asking price cash because none of the homes are in truth for sale they are allowed by friends in local government to list their 2nd home for sale 6 months of the year to evade taxes while poor people cannot even find one home to purchase or rent because these owners are also local government officials and dominating the housing and rental properties raking in tons renting out homes they don't pay property taxes on. The inflation "estimate" must be evaluated in rural northern Michigan where the "actual" pay hasn't increased in 8 yrs but housing costs are set by HUD 2017 estimates and the local officials buy up properties & only rent terrible living conditions while the state and federal programs pay 1200/month and the people live in disgusting squalor. Yet, all the paperwork is good. Nobody is out asking the people. No third party evaluators have been allowed since the last governor executive ordered the third-party evaluation standards for the 2000 children he lost to sex trafficking through MDHHS. It's time to do the actual math and stop relying on HUD estimates from 2017. Stop reading the white papers doctored like the Italian Mob business books and start doing real evaluating. Evaluating externally.
The local governments in northern Michigan are ignored and corrupt and the help and outreach is fake. You can be homeless with children and sleep in -13 weather. There is no assistance up here it's all fake. So many parents live through winter with babies in cars in the woods. You are denied assistance over and over. I have a genetic disorder could never get even 5.00 of help. It's terrible in Cheboygan County and Mackinaw City.
They need to focus on the movements in the community
I would not because you don’t know who else is on the road and the ability to stop or swerve out of the way is always an option in your own vehicle not a vehicle you aren’t driving.
Domestic violence, racial inequality, racism, and stopping law enforcement committing unnecessary violence onto black people
All of them need to be focused on one at a time
Unemployment and the cost that inflation is having
Everything that they are not focusing on. That should sum it up
I say they need to focus on our economy helplessness and joblessness help people financially
Because man I mean think about it dude technology everything people hack into stuff steal identity what happens if that car has an error and you crash and die what are you going to say that I trust people to drive I don't trust machines
