I've been caught many times because opening an excel spreadsheet with a filter attached hides rows in a non-obvious ways in LibreOffice. I'd be happy if that was properly compatible.
What if I discover I'm out of towels after I call for toilet paper? Will the robot understand me when I also ask for towels as well? Will I at least get a two way conversation to the front desk?
Without compelling these companies to report exactly how well they are doing, or provide results to testing, we don't know if these cars are viable or not. Something tells me if they could pass any driving test convincingly without making a mistake, people would notice.
Sure it might not stop but you sure as fuck need to point to one sign other than 'it happened in the past' as an indicator that it won't! That's all I'm saying.
I was saying this just the other day about the Zodiac killer's coded messages.. what if the author made a coding error? It would be so easy to do and just a couple errors could render the whole thing totally useless.
You'll be saying that until you have bed sores and your muscles atrophy. Then you'll understand that you have been feeding your brain and denying your body.
I don't see how this makes a difference to anything you said. If you want them to watch two shows, allow them enough time to watch two shows and the time you want and then tell them to stop. Allowing them a certain allowance of watching and having them decide how to fill that time is far more valuable than the show will actually teach them. Educational shows really aren't, they're entertainment. I don't really understand what you say about studying for a show before hand, since if your child has a question about rainbows it's much better to sit down at a computer and start exploring together so they learn how to do it.
By making the TV channel for them you're giving them a fish, by allowing them some flexibility in how that time is spent you're teaching them to fish.
Just because a potter could transform themselves into a buggy whip maker and buggy whip makers found work in an auto factory, it doesn't mean the progression is going to continue forever.
Why do the shows have to play in order? That was something we put up with when we were kids because we had no choice. Dump a bunch of kids shows in a folder, put it in a Kodi library and let your kids explore on their own.
Oh I'll go out into the snow if I have to. I was the only one on my block without a snowblower because shoveling is good exercise with a purpose. I just don't need more reasons to go out in the snow. I certainly don't want companies telling me that it is the new 'acceptable' way to do business because they are all just as mad to save a buck on their end. As a consumer, I should get to make to make the determination on which I want. The human face-to-face service will still cost them less because of automation in the middle. So human prices should at least stay the same. Automated deliver prices, if they are convincingly lower, I may go for them. We'll see.
It's not about time, it's about convenience. That's why *convenience* stores are always more expensive than a regular grocery store. If a service is much less convenient I would hope it would cost much less.
Frankly I don't care how they choose to work their financials. If they are losing money bringing my package to the door then that was their decision, probably for competitive reasons. As a consumer if I am getting less service I would expect to pay less, period.
A robot can do it, but it will have to be able to navigate a couple feet of snow if I haven't had time to clear it since the last snowstorm. Also, my driveway is frequently slick and ice-rutted. It depends on the weather.
Just because the union puts this on the table, it doesn't mean they think they are going to get it. The more you have on the table to take off, the more you end up getting in return. It's negotiation 101.
Many times this winter we got packages from UPS or FedEx and I thanked the driver for braving the elements for me. I feel the same about this as I do about pizza; if there is no one to walk the package to the door for me then the service is not nearly as good or valuable to me. Now if automation halves the delivery cost because it now lacks this service then fine, but I'd like to know what my inconvenience is worth. There is something to be said for human involvement.

I don't care how gutless this thing is, I'll prefer it to a battery until the day batteries can stay charged for 24 full hours of driving.
Battery tech will improve dramatically,
They've been saying that about smartphones too.. And we're still waiting for a smartphone that can last more then a day of heavy use.

Pick up from where? Most of the stuff I order comes to my front door.

Eh? Did someone say something?

Because the location isn't sensitive. These bases aren't hidden, they are fortified forward operating positions.
Oh well there's no problem then.
Why would anyone in a military base in a sensitive location be allowed to have an app that tracks your location? Why would they turn it on?
A robot shouldn't be going across the lawn at all, it should be detecting and using the sidewalk like people do.

Isn't that any job? Should I feel guilty that someone has to work a full shift at McDonalds so I can come through and order a burger?

I agree, it's crap. No argument there. It's still a better alternative than Apple.
A version 1 app for something that has been around since 1970. Way to go Apple. *golf clap*
