Will then be confused as to why trump won in 2020 and blame racism

You’re not wrong here. This is my problem with HamNo and the revolution generation. They can quote endless statistics about the wealth gap, but there is so much more that could be done between “rant online” and “revolution.” But they won’t do it. To be fair, I’m not really doing anything either, besides donating a…

Most Americans cannot shit in public rest room without crying. I do automation, motors, and drives for Japanese company. Many times, I get told to train US college students to do my job. Companies overseas pay extra for US educated engineers. Is very good money. Start at $65k a year in very rural, mountain town where…

The issue isn’t morality, it’s dodging lawsuits. If you run someone over, it’s an accident. If a robot runs someone over, it’s a threat to public safety and somebody should pay. You could probably sue a person for hundreds of thousands, you can sue a company for hundreds of millions. It just adds to the fact that a…

Why can’t the car start sounding its horn and flashing the lights when a brake failure is detected, to alert pedestrians? Why can’t the car have a separate emergency braking system? Why can’t the car…

Yes. I’ve been trying to get people to understand this everytime this /hypothetical/ comes up. Autonomous vehicles, designed properly and effectively, will not even have to make these “decisions”.

Furthermore, the notion that the pedestrians and the occupants are at equal risk is head-hurtingly idiotic. These questions present the only outcome as 100% death rate for whoever takes the brunt of the collision. That’s pure bullshit.

Oh for fuck’s sake! Can we please give up on the stupid fucking trolley problem as relates to autonomous cars?

ooo good pick... tho as far as autonomous cars go i think its a moot point.. i will never get into a car i cant control if it doesnt consider my safety its absolute priority...

dont forget that it doesnt take into account swerving into oncomming traffic at all...

ok, i’m trying it, currently on 6/13.

eh... if you want anyone to ever get into an anonymous car.. it would have to prioritize saving its occupants over anything else...

Our national parks are wonderful! Only someone whose visited every single corner of each one should be qualified to rank them.

I’d flip the top two after watching Valley Uprising

Rank all 413 units, damn it.
