Attack ad against Jeff Brandes - 'Those darn driverless cars'.mp4

[@GreatAstuff]

I live in Florida and would give anything for a driverless car. I'm legally blind so i'll never be able to drive and now that i'm turning 16 its hard to see all my friends getting their license and such.

[@Vaskadar]

"I had to convince the senate it wasn't witchcraft!" lmfao

[@phoghat]

My Mom passed away last year at the age of 93. One of her fondest wishes was for onen ofthese driverless cars . She never learned how to drive and thought they would give her more freedom. 93 years old !!!

[@DrBuzz0]

For all the talk of "creating jobs" most politicians seem to have no idea where jobs come from. Jobs are created by innovations that produce whole new sectors of the economy and create new demand for system upgrades and better ways of doing things. Driverless cars would be an example of this. The technology is on the horizon and it can and will improve how we do things and ultimately spur economic activity and create jobs. THAT IS HOW JOBS ARE CREATED! IT'S NOT MAGIC, PEOPLE!

[@superpj]

I like that the use an old woman for the voice considering old people in Florida are the worst behind the wheel.

[@StormsandSaugeye]

Indeed! We don't need this witchcraft on our streets! Whoever invented this needs to be tried for witchcraft! Let's get another Salem or Wurzburg going darnit!

[@RichUncleFloyd]

HORSELESS carriages? Not on OUR streets! PROTECT FLORIDA!

[@jokojay1]

Absolutely. Teabaggers must be put out of their misery.

[@MajorSquiggles]

Driverless cars have been stealing jobs from hardworking taxi drivers and now I can't feed my family.

[@bryanrankin83]

We need to make those using tactics such as this to seek public office, the pariahs of society. In business, in social settings so that everywhere they go and everything they do is tainted by the fact that they're willing to use fear to govern. The threat of violence isn't the only type of terrorism, fear mongering is absolutely a form of it and should be condemned with our strongest voice.

[@SnowyNowak]

This is why I will never register in either political party. I've been associated with several stupid things in the past, but registering with a political party? To me, that'd make all the stupid things I did seem smart.

[@Bobnxtra1]

Driverless cars are on track to be more reliable and safer on the road than human drivers.

[@somekidfromtexas]

Old people would benefit most from these cars. They would have their own personal chauffeur.

[@General_M]

I agree with everyone else especially since recently where I'm from an elderly driver plowed through a publix full of people. So glad I don't live in Florida any more. Not that elderly drivers aren't a threat nation wide. I want another drivers test when you turn 50,60,70,80 and then you lose your license, unless you have a driverless car.

[@tothefinlandstation]

I don't even know if Jeff Bandes is a Democrat or Republican, super-conservative, super-liberal or a wishy-washy moderate, but this ad makes me want to vote for him!

[@GarranGossage]

You would think that old people would love the idea of driverless cars. I am counting on them hauling me around when I am too old to drive.

[@DrPreston2]

The irony is that the elderly lady is probably a bigger threat on the road than any of Google's driverless cars.

[@DecafDesslok]

Ironically elderly drivers are more dangerous than robot vehicles.

[@LegalLulz]

How could they allow an old woman like this onto the Internet? That is the real travesty here.

[@RichUncleFloyd]

No guys this ad has a point, just look at all the accidents that Google's driverless car has racked up over the course of .... oh.

[@collegekid491]

Sure you will save a couple of lives, but millions of seniors won't be able to drive!

[@CaseyHandmer]

Pushing 3% positive response - good going guys...

[@JohnFlud]

I am legally blind and I cannot drive. I long for the day these cars are made available to the public and I have the mobility that everyone else has. This issue alone will make me oppose any politician who is not supportive of driverless technology. However I'm not in Florida and have no say in this particular election. If you do, keep in mind the disabled who will have mobility before you blindly oppose this technology, out of luddite fear.

[@nytrospawn]

Considering that driving courses instruct you not to try to avoid animals by swerving from them and into on comming traffic, I would say it doesnt matter.

[@Brimshae]

That's brilliant! I never thought of that.

[@asajames5018]

I hate when people diss a technology when they know absolutely nothing about it. This advert just bleeds ignorance. I'm glad I'm not old, and not a Floridian.

[@standanddv8]

"Don't invest in technology, fix the economy!"

[@TheLowbornKing]

So you don't trust driverless cars, but you're still going to use one in your ad, safely not hitting an old woman?

[@jokojay1]

They should actually design cars with the specific intent of running down teabagging old bats like the crone in this ad.

[@Boothie68]

This comment wins the internets: "p.s. We all know cats will be sitting in the driver's seat once a person isn't.../truth :)"

[@Kamidake83]

Have they improved the algorithms to tell the difference between a dog and a speed bump?

[@bobweber6538]

Old people don't need jobs!

[@ScottStadum]

Driverless cars and rebuilding the economy aren't mutually exclusive concepts. GET OFF MY LAWN.

[@TylerPresents]

This lady talking is more of a danger to the road than the Google car.

[@andreirocks1992]

When I first saw the add, I thought that the people who down-voted the video are idiots without a sense of humor... Well it turns out it's real.

[@bassesweswe]

So he's busy trying to allow innovation instead of fixing the economy, isn't that how you fix the economy?..

[@billyandika3158]

This is so dumb. The driverless Prius has been tested to comply with all safety regulations and is proven to be safer than human drivers.

[@EmperorOfMars]

600 jobs out of a state with millions?

[@billyharnois]

Driverless cars are the future. This ad is so stupid.

[@PianoGamer64]

There are no sentinent robots at this time. Relax dude.

[@dotvezz]

Of course, a political ad that's incorrect in its representation of reality. What else is new? 1: The cars in question are not remote-controlled 2: The cars in question have a human behind the wheel (to correct if the car makes a mistake) 3: The cars in question have been driving for years, for hundreds of thousands of miles, without a single mistake.

[@Foranamo]

First of all: This video gave me cancer. There are two possibilities: 1) This is a joke. Not a very good one, but a joke. 2) They are serious. In this case, this is why we cannot have nice things.

[@mylusernameslJustin]

Listen to the voice of the woman, and then think about it

[@larodem]

Yes, its only possible to have a single political issue prioritized at any one time. Florida will become a grim, lawless wasteland ruled by cannibals as Jeff Brandes mindlessly sends legions of silent, soulless automatons to cruise the highways.

[@frosted1030]

LOL This is awesome! Evil robot cars.. LOL Now the question is.. do you think the advancement of driverless cars is creating jobs or eliminating them? Hmm...

[@behinddawindow]

I thought ads (even political) they can't use branded logos without permission. What will Toyota say?

[@casimuir]

Joke's on you. The software on those cars have algorithms to detect pedestrians.

[@plankton07]

Self-driving car actually benefits unskilled women drivers, so why against it?

[@UnReal31337]

Wow, this has to be the most ironically made, out of touch political ad I've ever seen. At least it's not from California.

[@aredub1847]

Who needs snl when you have republicans

[@JZGreenline]

They need Driverless walkers. Old-fart almost crashed into that car.

[@phoghat]

Oh crap, let's play on the fears of the clueless so we can get votes (from the clueless)

[@eslachance]

Oh fun, let's show the Google Self-Driving Car burning a stop and almost hitting an old lady, and then not-so-subtly implying that it will cause accidents with a car crash sound at the end. Of course, we won't say that in over 300,000km of driving itself, never *once* did it have even the slightest accident on the road. I highly doubt as much can be said of *any* other driver on the road. This is a PERFECT example of "disinformation" of the public.

[@AJ.Design]

More likely a senior driving, would crash into a driverless car. Technophobes are not appreciated.

[@CgPallaeon]

What's a toe bridge? Is that like a toll bridge, but with toes?

[@BigspinProductions]

The woman's voice makes it sound like she's the one at 0:06.

[@bizkitbrain]

LMAO Old people are completely out of touch with reality

[@solarvslunar]

Its going to happen anyway, you might as well sit back and enjoy the ride.

[@Cra2yFac3]

Did you forget to take your klonopin today?

[@brookn1961]

I agree Senator Jeff Brandes is out of touch

[@Hengsha]

good lord i dont even know where to start

[@SeiruOkibi]

Of course the video is narrated by an old person who doesn't understand technology.

[@janmusil5783]

This is a scam, it's a on-purpose-made video and the car is not the Google driverless car because those cars have a big rotating camera attached to the top of the car.

[@andreirocks1992]

I don't think he was being serious...

[@andreirocks1992]

You weren't being serious.. right?

[@Kamidake83]

Least you can do is break.

[@Nightwolfj2]

BURN THE WITCH!

[@SilasX]

This has GOT to be a joke.

[@OliverVonKoch]

im canadian, how can i support Jeff Brandes

[@CndBcn]

Is this a commercial a joke? It seems that way.

[@Linkage1992]

Yeah I realized that after I posted my reply...

[@theocontinuum]

I really really really hope this is a joke.

[@NORML85]

lol I can't believe what I just watched was real.

[@chrisf69uk]

laughably bad ad ! Is it for real ? I'd far rather be a passenger in a computer-controlled car than risk being driven by an easily-distracted human.

[@cheerfulharmony]

Good one! Read the confused people who do not understand the dangers. : )

[@LiminalLofi]

Fear mongering

[@Kamidake83]

Wait wait wait wait....Let me get this straight. You want to focus on creating jobs right? I think that is what i got from this..... Then why the fuck are you trying to shut down the business around driverless cars?!

[@justacooldudeuknow28]

One day this could happen to you not very funny. This ad is outrageous though. LOL.

[@casualevils]

This is hilarious

[@FriedChairs]

Most pathetic political ad ever.

[@gengkev]

0:21 omg lost 600 jobs...wait what?

[@NORML85]

I think?

[@Linkage1992]

You watch too many movies.

[@stephenbmassey]

Brandes *is* a Republican; this is a Democrat attack ad.

[@Kameeho]

Jesus america? is this really how you run politics? Seriusly? I just saw the movie The Election. And I tought it was just pure comedy and jokes, but seriusly, it's actually based closely to the truth than I tought! -Sincerly someone from Norway wich run by a former Communist party, yet has better and more convincing politics than this.

[@Gnometower]

dumbest political ad ever

[@DNCharlie]

old people

[@adamroark1826]

ok

[@IceWaterInc]

terrible

[@munesh23]

lmao witchcraft??

[@KokamoJoe1]

hahahahahaahahahahahaha
