Nature has worked out this problem long ago...the automatic driver-less car should pick the option which will have the greatest chance of saving the occupants of its own car. The other car(s) should be doing the same thing, regardless of whether it has a human or robotic driver.

When you're buying a driverless car you're doing so with the assumption that it will make the same decisions you would in most if not all situations. No matter how noble you think you are, human instinct is going to have you immediately react to do whatever is necessary to save your life, so the car should respond in

Im not a believer Im a atheist that just not give a fuck.

Pedantic, but correct. And Ken Ham is a plenty good reason for mentioning it, he reminds us why using words the right way is important, so thank you for reminding me.

I'm always suspicious of arguments or positions based on some notion of irreducible complexity. I see these types of arguments come up in biology, SETI, cognitive science, criticisms of artificial intelligence or synthetic biology, chemical evolution and biochemistry and on and on.

Theory?

It's not really a "theory" is it? Since we don't have a working model that can be tested. Wouldn't it be accurate to say that the conceptualization that a union between two microbes led to a more complex form of life is an untested hypothesis at this point?

The synthesis of eukaryotic life is one of the events discussed in Rare Earth as being a very possible filter that keeps complex life from being very common in the universe.

The biologist in me thinks that there's no a priori reason to assume that any biological event could only happen once. The SETI supporter in me

Dose of ionizing radiation: That's my choice
Chance of cancer: That's my choice
Risk of dying in accident: That's my choice
[hundreds of] Thousands of dollars: That's my choice
Burning precious fuels: If society at large decided these were more valuable as output from the chemical manufacturing industry, the price for

As someone who works in this industry, this article is incredibly sensationalist:

So in other words, it's batteries that last much much longer than traditional rechargeable battery, not infinitely rechargeable batteries.

But you missed the key that makes this the pinnacle. Goldfinger isn't interested in making Bond squirm away from the laser (although he does), or talk, or scream, or suffer. He isn't even planning to watch. He utters the most villainous line in Bond, if not screen, history. (spoiler alert) "No, Mister Bond, I expect

These aren't nerds.... please know the difference. I'm an mechanical engineer, I worked hard to be a nerd. These neckbeards are just geeks that even the nerds made fun of in high school.

I am a physicist. Quantum networking, or quantum communication in general, is all about security, not speed. I'll quote the first paragraph about quantum teleportation from wikipedia for you, because there's no reason for me to rewrite what's already been said:

Dunno about you, but as a car enthusiast, I love self-driving cars. Why? I love driving, I hate commuting.

I'm just going to borrow this little quote from the Wikipedia articles that you linked:

Of course it's as bad as Watergate. Watergate was a President using his resources to do some fairly ham-handed spying on a few offices of the opposing political party, using a handful of shady henchmen to bug some phones and look at some files. Then he tried to hide it, inappropriately using his staff and admin's

No its not. It's more expensive than current gen 7" tablets with an mediocre low PPI display and dated hardware. It's Apple's cash cow because it's so stupidly overpriced.
