Rage against the machine: self-driving cars attacked by angry Californians

Considering how easy it is to for people experiencing a lack of equality and prosperity to direct their animosity toward foreigners, is anyone really surprised by this?

If technology like this is going to increase unabated while the economy remains erratic, wages stagnate, and government legislative ability decreases under the weight of their own bullshit, then I expect this will become more frequent until we have a genuine neo-Luddite movement on our hands.
