On the other hand, from Putins point of view, it’s probably better to have a unfriendly president that he can blackmail than anything else.

I find the idea of building in limits into ASI’s to be deeply flawed. An intelligence thousands of times superior to our own isn’t going to find great difficulty in defeating those safe guards.

Of course the car wash is to blame. How hard is it to make a track that stops if the exit isn’t clear, or at least have an employee near an emergency stop button?

Wonder if Putin will get fed up enough for us to find out what Trumps russian connections were all about.

You’d think that emergency vehicle alerts will be the first thing that v2v communication takes care of.

Which, in a way, is plus for the manufacturer

The first automobiles didn’t require paved roads either. In fact, automobiles didn’t require paved roads for a rather long time. If they did, we may not have made the transition.

How did it get there?

Won’t work, vehicle life span too long.

I don’t think he realized that he is talking about doubling of infrastructure.

That is a terrible solution, as it will require doubling our infrastructure. I’m all for autonomous cars, but if they can’t share the road with humans, they are not ready.

Maybe because I don’t know all the detail, but I have a hard time seeing how this crash illustrates anything.

In addition to the neck problems, this is a car that will instantly remind buyers that they’ve grown a bigger gut than they would like to admit.

Not impossible, but would require considerable training.

Biggest disadvantage of flat engines is that they tend to be very difficult to access.

Yes, maybe, at great expense. And to what end?

Is there a way for immigrants to tell the good attorneys from the scammers?

My wifes 2 favorite insults for bad drivers are asshats and douchebags. When the kids are around, the go to insult is hatbags.

We have those, at least if I understood you correctly. We have the solid line (don’t corss) stripped line (cross with caution) and one side solid one side stripped, meaning one side can cross to overtake if clear, but the other cannot.

“In theory, that sounds great, but maybe there should be an exception carved out for complete nonsense on climate science?”
