OTOH, it will be years until a buy out occurs. During that time, many crack will come up, and there won't be anyone to pay for the lawyer to go after something that might not even hold up.

"It's a complicated law. As I understand it, " you could read the,law. Just sayin' it isn't that complicated.
" if Congress had forced authors to choose between private technological protection (DRM) and standard legal protection (copyright) for their works, without artificially tying them together." Right on.

"but photography did greatly reduce the size of the portrait-painting market," hmm. I'd like to see some numbers. It seems to me that photography opened up getting picture on the wall to people with lower income.
Who is 'they'? Each state has it's own laws regarding that.
Stop making it seem like one big government. It isn't, never has, and never will be. People who want to scare you into thinking their way treat it as one entity
For a one-off modeling job to create a beautiful person using a product for an advertisement, the effort required to create the model and environment still takes a lot of human work to make it happen. This is less true everyday. And that was a horrible sentence.
"But you can't show 3D rendered oranges and say "look how perfect our oranges are!"" You can if it's a reasonably accurate image.
"That only comes as input from the human operator." For now. But it isn't magic, it is reproducible so someone will find away to make it easier, and the next person will make it even easier, and so on. Until its automated.
When you are dealing with them. they are generally out of their element. Sure You have seen the same thing happen every day because it's your job. You are confusing ignorance with stupidity.
You are short sighted, and blame it on everyone else under the guise of 'They' are stupid.
secondly note how this some how doesn't impact corporations.
I suspect this is implemented because the USPS doesn't operate it's own fleet of jets. They contract with commercial airlines. And sine lithium batteries have been the cause of two airline crashes, they don't want to rick killing 100's of people.
Market will solve that. Once someone realize how much cheaper their insurance is, and how they can use drive time to do other things, it will begin to peak. The only trigger the might be pulled is that there is a special lane for manually driven cars.
Who gets to decide you 'can't drive'? Cause a garuntee you that person in the Buick thinks your reckless ass should be tossed to a country road.
"Also, automation would do nothing for cement trucks and large equipment, which cannot easily be robotized and would still slow down traffic." what? of course it can. Once it leave the site they would drop into driverless mode.
If congestion was simply capacity you would have a point. but there are other factors.
Fewer accidents, integrated timing, proper merging, consistent speed, faster incident response. Hell, eventually it will calculate fastest path so you may not even need to get onto the freeway.
No they aren't. Sorry, but is takes longer and cost more for me to take the bus to work then to drive. An automated system means I get to leave from my home and not need to stop 125 times on the way to work. Here is an ugly little secret: It would use less fuel if everyone on the bus drove a geo metro rather then take the bus.
Oh, tis wrong argument again. Please stop, you are wrong.
also: " It's a safe speed." There are a number of factors to take into consideration. Speed is just one of them, so your statement is wrong.
"You'd get rear ended in no time not to mention road rage." oh, it's the person doing 55's fault that you have anger management problems? nice
"Any driving system that doesn't adhere to this within reason is one I don't want to step foot in." see, you are so caught up in excusing your desire to drive like an asshole you aren't actually thinking. With driverless cars, the speed limit would be what everyone is doing.
Since you are removing the reason for a slower speed(LCD drivers) the speed limit will increase. Probably not over 65, because of fuel economy. Maybe open roads will be an exception.

How are they gonna come? With no mercy.

Myth. But hey, you continue to be the insurance companies and libertarians bitch are parrot what ever they put into your mouth.

In the name of accuracy.
They should have a clear notice saying it's been artificially generated.
For a one-off modeling job to create a beautiful person using a product for an advertisement, the effort required to create the model and environment still takes a lot of human work to make it happen.
This is less true everyday.

Yes, it certainly can't be you~
The average public is not stupid.
When you are dealing with them. they are generally out of their element. Sure You have seen the same thing happen every day because it's your job. You are confusing ignorance with stupidity.
You are short sighted, and blame it on everyone else under the guise of 'They' are stupid.
I like how you have to explain something you clearly don't understand to your grandma.
To bad all of history shows you are wrong.
I"m sure all those workers, who the paid taxes, didn't think it was waste; nor did the merchants who sold the workers things.
Homeland security sticks the fingers into a pie it doesn't understand, screws it up.
Defund Homeland security.

Well he assumes it won't be a flying car.
Automatic system on airline have saved a hell of a lot of lives.
How is his idea any different then using blind people to test driverless cars with?
It isn't.
You comparison is bad, and you should feel bad.

All this leads to less congestion.
No they aren't.

Driver less cars that are designed to be in the snow wouldn't get stuck as often as most other cars.
Or how about no one no longer needing to own a car becasue they are autmated and have a car sitting not doing anyting is a waste.
You just pay your 50 bucks a month to be a member of a car pool.
Buses won't be needed any more, fewer parking lots, less congestion.
I suspect there will be different kinds of pools at different cost.
A pool of automated vans that ;pick up 12 people on the way to work, comfort car pool where a luxury car picks yo up. Sports car pool.
It gets real interesting with automated Motor Cycles.
