What am I missing? The Ranger appears to be bigger than the F-150? Or, at least the same size? What’s the diff, Ford people?

Your mom?

It’d only have to overcome inertia, both starting and stopping....

Just remember to push the button the right way, so the wheels spin in the right direction. #AmIScrewingOrUnscrewing? #QuitScrewingAround

What exactly are you learning from a statue? Learning is an active endeavour.

Could we get a Singer or Icon type restoration?

Phrasing!!!!

Pleb! :P

How many flying johnsons have you seen?

Do you own stock in RFID? What if I forget my RFID chip? Or do we just implant it 666 style?

How about if we put sensors on all the things? I mean, if everything were on the IoT, then...chaos (averted?)

Also, I thought we already lived in the dystopia future. I was promised a hoverboard. They lied!!!

I’ll grant you that my scenario is fictional...and thus unlikely, but: can you account for every possible scenario, especially the more unlikely ones?

Possibly, yeah. But, whereas it could compute the reaction instantly, 4000-6000-10000 lbs of vehicle might not be able to stop as quick as all that.

They’re running towards the road from behind a concrete barrier that blocks them from all your sensors. They’re being chased by someone out to kill them, so we can forgive them if they’re not super attentive...

If they’re too slow, no one will buy them. They’ll be cautious, of course (because lawsuit), but, slow? What’s the point? And, I will admit that makes sense with early vehicles, like those Google bubble cars that look like weird heads....but what about the 3rd gen Tesla coming out after the existing ones? Why…

Well, if we do go all autonomous...will we need speed limits? If the cars have good enough sensors, and they can communicate with each other...why have speed limits? You could free up traffic tremendously. Which is not to say that everyone would be driving at 200 mph, but...why have speed limits, when the computers…

OK, so, is it OK for your autonomous car to run them over? It’s supposed to be a better driver than any and all humans, thus, I think it’s reasonable to expect that it shouldn’t hit even pedestrians who are assholes. At least, that’s the argument I’d make if I were a lawyer, suing anyone and everyone associated with…

This poster gets it.

Unless the car has to swerve from going 40 or 45, because, let’s say, it’s avoiding hitting a drunk, erratic driver, and winds up running over a group of toddlers on a field trip, who are patiently waiting for their teacher on the sidewalk... Or something. We can dream up all sorts of scenarios...and thus people…
