Where was the conservative outrage over the several hundred direct threats made on Clintons life on twitter? Not to mention the t-shirts and people at Trump events yelling about hanging her or putting her in front of a firing squad?

I love all the predictable bored yawns of the PC boys and their white whale (look it up children) idea that consoles are dead and only PC gaming will survive. I’m picturing old grandpa’s on porches still talking about how certainly this next console will be the last.

What qualifies a person as a “professional” critic? They’re no more capable of analyzing a movie than any other warm butt in a theater seat. That’s why pretty much everyone I know bases whether they’re going to see a movie on audience scores rather than “professional” critics. Besides, the person that wrote this…

You cut right to the heart of it. This same dynamic comes into play when JJ Abrams does a movie. Critics with a built in bias and expectation of not liking it.

“As bad as it sounds?” What does that mean exactly? For one thing you have no basis for comparison and for another it’s got a high tech, sci-fi sound to it so based on that alone it sounds cool to most people. As to how it looks it doesn’t look much different from half the airlines I’ve been in and the “windows” are…

I just pictured people dressed like 80's rockstars randomly falling out of the sky.

Sorry for the repeat of some of your observation - just saw your post.

If they are Jetcats they’re very reliable and have gone through a lot of tweaks but I’d bet money if this craft design gets out we’d see a lot of backyard tinkerer’s, engineers and mechanics find ways to drive their efficiency up.

Agreed! I think someone’s just jealous :D

What the hell does “fittish” mean? Is that even a word?

Well the FBI is federal law enforcement for the U.S. so they do have an internal mandate to only use American automobiles for fleet and agent vehicles. The CIA on the other hand operate globally and typically try to use makes that are common in those countries. Since this movie deals with law agencies around the world…

Yeah, there’s 3 Audi’s.

Uh huh.

So how has the Google cars managed to drive over a million miles - in all situations - across the country and not crashed once? Luck?

Four years, and that’s not a guess. If you’d follow these stories and published papers from Google, Tesla and others as religiously as I do you’d find most experts IN the industry are predicting four years or less for the first fully autonomous (commercially available) vehicle to hit the road. Incidentally I have…

There was a story last week that does indicate autonomous cars may have a slightly shorter lifespan but at least in the case of autonomous electric vehicles the story shows there will actually be significantly smaller amounts of maintenance required and even slightly less for hybrid autonomous vehicles - due in some…

There’s an independent autonomous car company, I believe somewhere in Asia that just this past week released results of a new technique they’ve developed that uses nearby “permanent” structures like buildings, bridges, etc. that allow their cars systems to determine where the roads are to within a couple inches. It…

Uh, yeah it does - all of it. It also has all the necessary software. The only thing slowing this down is legislation and insurance issues. Look anywhere you want to back this up. There’s plenty of articles saying it “should” slow down and some saying it’s a mistake but there is no one outside uneducated bloggers that…

I can’t speak for Google but from what I’ve gathered in interviews and video Q&A’s the choice was made for several practical reasons including higher safety infrastructure and the fact that luxury models already have many of the basic technologies to build an autonomous platform.

Pretty sure the point was that it’s monumentally higher than it would be with autonomous and semi-automous vehicles. That’s not hyperbole - it’s a factual thing with mountains of hard data. This is happening.
