Wow, way to diss all the doctors, neurologists, and engineers and their hard work. You mad dude?

Depends on the state.

Breakfast tacos sounds good, but why not go full burrito?

Walk into a coffee shop and not sure what to get? For starters, get coffee (drip) or tea. Don't drink any of those? What the hell are you doing at a coffee shop?

Getting into a development partnership with Daimler does not exactly produce revenue.

To be fair, Waymo didn’t seem like they’re taking this autonomous driving seriously. I mean, sure they’re putting in a lot of research behind it but where are they planning to go with this? I mean, really? Ride hailing? How is that going to be more profitable than Uber? How are they building up their infrastructure…

Ha! Your faith in human capability is greatly overrated.

But if a trolley is speeding down to a crowd of people and has a choice of switching tracks that could run over a person, what will it do then?!

How so? There are hundreds of thousands of Tesla’s already out there with autopilot hardware. Even if we take 1% of that to be enabled, that’s still in the thousands. Yet we have only 11 crashes with 17 injuries and 1 fatality being investigated. Compared to the Takata airbags, it took 50 fatalities before…

Regardless of the what’s being talked about, Torch’s statement about people incapable of not noticing warning signs is not “simply” a thing. He totally underestimates the power of human ignorance.

“crashes into stopped emergency vehicles with flashing lights and sometimes even “flares, an illuminated arrow board, and road cones” are simply not the sorts of things human drivers wouldn’t notice”

It's amazing how people just take these phrases for granite. 

Grill marks are the racing stripes of the culinary domain. It adds mental seasoning. 

That’s the thing though, it’s engineered for the process, not the car. Most likely, the part is designed to be manufactured by a supplier and acquired with a minimum order by the tons. But that’s the legacy car manufacturer’s MO: to build up their parts bin. 

Of course! That explains the hold-my-beer symbol on the left hand side!

Engineering for something that is unused and unnecessary.

Perhaps they changed the meaning of the symbol to “Inductor Energized”.

Ambition derives from a person’s desires. I cannot see anyway that can be taught nor would be a good thing. Once they get older even towards middle school, it will be their peers that will most likely drive their desires.

Nah forget that. This is a cool story man. Cascading failure stories are the moments that you will always remember in your life. Like when I was stranded in Hong Kong airport for days and had to be deported back to US. Or when I had to bite into a pillow while my wife pulled my ingrown toenail during a trip in Paris...

So, tell me: what can you do now that isn’t a hyper consumerist lifestyle that’s killing people and eco systems in far away places?Do you actually think about that yourself? How about the electronic device that you're commenting from?
