Selena Gomez has stated that “the US Government needs to curb spending into research on driverless cars or for funding at the state level.”

Selena, 25, said:

“There is no real reason to invest money in research on driverless cars and infrastructure when you have issues such as the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare, welfare, our education system, obesity among the American population, hurricanes in my home state of Texas, and other issues. This Government has not got any priorities right trying to do this, and the US Government needs to curb spending into research on driverless cars at the state level.”

She then went on to say:

“Most Americans do not want a driverless car. After all, this is on the same level as gun control for most Americans.”

and then she went on to say:

“Donald Trump is a grumpy jerkass who’s risking America’s lives by spending money on driverless cars, and he needs to stop going on junkets around the world when he’s got things like healthcare to deal with.”
