Why would we want this?
One death in 2 years with these prototypes (in a situation no human driver would have been able to avoid, by the way) is orders of magnitude better than human drivers are capable of.

Additionally:
* There are many people who would love to never have to drive, ever. If I could have that time…

I want this.

Its still safer than the teenager texting

It’s a natural evolution of technology. Same reason why we moved away from fax machines, manual flight check-ins and so on. We also need it because people are horrible at driving when we think about it. 100 years from now, we might not even have traffic lights because cars would be able to communicate with each other…

For one, it sounds like on-board video confirms that the pedestrian unexpectedly swan dived into the road from between some parked cars.

Video from the car (referenced in another article) shows the person popping out from the darkness on the side of the street. Sources say it most likely wouldn’t have been avoidable regardless of who was driving (human or computer)

I don’t expect it to be demonstrably safer than humans at this point. It’s still in its infancy, and it’s impossible for a computer to avoid 100% of accidents, especially when a pedestrian unexpectedly swan dives into the road at night.

Good for those kids, especially Millie Bobby Brown, who definitely deserves a higher salary than the rest considering her role is so important and gets much more screen time.

Unless that apology is in the memo section of a big fat check to Claire Foy, I don’t want to hear it.

Considering how widely lauded her performance was, and the awards and acclaim she brought the show, Claire Foy deserves a giant bonus. She was brilliant, and I’ll miss her.

That’s not a strong Grandpa move at all.

eating something solely because no one else likes it is the ultimate old man move.

You have already defeated yourself.

The number of odd/disgusting things eaten by my Polish grandfather are too long to list in a tweet. Lots of pickled fish of unknown origin.

Happy to oblige. Forgot to mention: my Pop-Pop dubbed her Bessie, and she is my beautiful perfect girl.

My grandpa owned his own business. Every day he shut it down for an hour so he could watch Sesame Street over lunch in the breakroom. He made everyone who worked for him (about a dozen people) join him. You had to have a pretty good excuse to not watch Sesame Street with him.

Alright, buckle up for a Shakespearean epic that I promise will be worth your while.

We were out to dinner with my father in-law. He told the waitress his order, then pointed at my 12 year old son and said “and he’ll have a shit sandwich”.

My grandpa once complained to my grandma that the leftover peaches in the refrigerator tasted awful, but he ate them all anyway. They were egg yolks that my grandma had separated and saved for later.

my grandfather always bought shit soda (sorry gramps, “tonic”) like Shasta, Cott, or Royal Crown. But on Easter or Thanksgiving he would pony up for the good stuff, like Coca Cola. There are a million grandpa stories. I remember recently before he passed we had him over for breakfast and my mom had a Bailey’s Irish…
