There could be communication between the cars, or maybe it has heat sensors to detect warm lifeforms that are around it.

Yeah it’s just an interesting debate... it’s a moral dilemma and most everyone is going to have a different opinion. There’s no real right or wrong answer here, but just a fun topic to think/debate about.

That is certainly a very interesting solution and just as valid as any other. It’s just the moral dilemma in programming an AI, you could replace the tree with a sinkhole and the situation would change, but interesting idea!

Depends on how much of the situation I was able to notice in that split second time frame... I would probably swerve left and hope for the best that’s the most likely decision I would make in a split second because I’m a human. But a computer who can process all of this information in hundredths of a second would…

It’s an interesting dilemma none the less... that is certainly a solution but is it the right one? That is a moral debate and people are going to view it differently just like you and I are... I would say save the greater amount of lives if at all possible.

Oh jesus christ, let’s say a freak woodchuck is eating the tree in fair weather and makes it fall... or any other number of unforeseen incidences that would cause your lane to be blocked. The decision still has to be made

Yeah there have been many interesting articles on why autonomous vehicles inherently create a big dilemma. Here is the scenario, you’re going down a 2 lane road, another autonomous car is heading in the opposite direction. It’s just you in your car, a whole family in the other car... a tree suddenly falls in front of…

My first dog growing up was a dachshund... she weighed 18 pounds... and ate a 6 pound beef roast... she couldn’t even move but the look of pure bliss on her face was hilarious... until we had to take her to the vet and induce vomiting because it was just too much food.

You don’t pull a gun to escalate a situation... you pull a gun to eliminate a threat against your life or someone else’s life. In your case I condone you not having a firearm if that is the way you think... I’m a bouncer at a bar... my job is to keep people from escalating situations that could quickly spiral out of…

If you don’t feel confident in your ability to control your emotions then you have made the right choice. I on the other hand have multiple guns but have NEVER pulled a gun on someone or even pointed it at another human being. I also have matured enough to control my emotions and not fly off the handle regardless of…

Got any proof of this? I have seen the statistics of having a gun in a house raises the chance of having a gun violence related incident(duh, like having a wild tiger as a pet greatly increases your risk of being mauled to death by a tiger) but where are you getting your information from?

So you want to take all the guns away from everybody because they MIGHT do something bad in the future? Well in that case let’s just murder all Muslims in the world because they MIGHT become terrorists in the future... let’s ban Muslims from coming into the US because they MIGHT become extremists... you see where I’m…

Just immediately going to jump on gun control huh? Not that this lady apparently had a history of being mentally ill and said mental illness caused her to do a horrible thing? Sounds about right

And yet you still don’t understand that it is not universally needed across the board everywhere.

It wasn’t a belief... we were given a syllabus with a breakdown of how you are graded... when the same students would refuse to take any test... do any homework...or do any quizzes... it’s not hard to guess their fucking grade smartass.

Well that is a retarded ass opinion... not all cops are bad man. I have plenty of friends who are cops who are actually really nice and cool... it all depends on how you treat them and act when they are around. If you are cool, and complacent, and nice they will let A LOT go. Pulled over for a traffic stop and have a…

Not disagreeing with all of what you said, there were plenty of better ways to handle this... BUT that’s kind of the thing about Police Officers... when they give you a lawful order... you as the citizen are supposed to comply... period. If they violate your rights... you bring up charges or complaints after the fact.

If it is a private neighborhood with a private pool for the people who live in the neighborhood and only them... then yes... if the people who live there ask you to leave you have to leave. Agree with everything else you said.

Answered in other comments how I made my judgement

Again you seem to make this assumption that I’m one of these white people who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth... my family came from nothing... my grandfather grew up in a fucking shack... was a plumber... went to WWII... bought a house with the money he made... and continued to be a plumber. My father put…
