Well I didn't mention that I'm in Canada.. Apparently I can't get HBO Go. Didn't know it was available on Amazon and Google Play, but I probably can't view those either.
Provided that Amazon and Google Play are actually competing on a level playing field as HBO themselves, then yes you're right that is adequate competition. However, I don't see how they would be competing directly with the network.
But it's not the type of competition that will lower prices. Maybe some people are willing to settle for whatever the streaming service they pay for has, but they are by and large getting an even trade; you pay less for netflix but they also have less desirable content to offer. On the contrary, if someone wanted to watch the Game of Throne finale last Sunday, there isn't exactly five streaming services begging you to watch it on their service, all feeling pressure to give the same quality service at a lower price.
I don't think it's a good point. That makes streaming even more of a pain in the ass and adds to the idea that streaming isn't working out for consumers as it should. Now I need to remember which services I am subscribing to and which I'm not? I need to predict which ones I am going to want and remember to cancel them? Man that's a pain.
Where do you get that I'm saying fuck off to the minority? He already said he's happy and I said that's great. All I'm saying is that it isn't really relevant to the discussion because the shows he watches to be happy doesn't suit the tastes of most people because then Masterpiece Theater would be a 'popular show' which it isn't.
It's not capitalistic competition because multiple streaming services don't have the same shows. If we were talking about five streaming services that must compete on price because they all had access to play the same shows, then there would be actual competition for price. But we don't have that. Netflix usually doesn't have the current season, and now doesn't have Disney shows/movies. If you want to watch Game of Thrones you usually have to have a cable package AND pay HBO. That's not real competition, that's totally destroyed competition by contractual agreements.
If you want to watch a popular show, you only have a choice if there are several services that provide that show. I doubt there are many shows that are available on several streaming services.
If you are following a popular show, the longer you wait to watch it increases the change of someone telling you about the plot or reading about it in an article.
I don't know about your library, but it takes an insane amount of time to check anything useful out from mine, and if they have a popular show the wait for it is months. Some people are happy with old shows, I guess that's fine, but there are shows that are on today that I want to watch. It's not like it's the only thing I can talk about socially, but it's nice to see a show before you hear someone talking about it or read spoilers in an article.
This is why I think anyone who says they cut the cord and can watch what they want are still downloading or streaming a fair amount illegally. I mean, you can pay for a few services but that probably won't give you exactly what you want. You can limit your choices to entertainment available on those services but that's just settling.
I guess this is only intended for use on highways then. I'm not sure how many trucks are being used in this convoy, but many many traffic lights are less than three truck lengths apart and are not timed together, a convoy could easily span through multiple intersections. Also traffic backs up a lot, usually it is a situation where a few cars make it through only to be in the line for the next light. Even single trailer trucks sometimes block intersections in that case but could easily be backing up the intersection for an entire green if in a convoy.
What if the 'reddish pixel' sign is on a hanging store sign or on a billboard or standing sign with a stop sign on it? How does the AI rule those out without understanding what advertising is? Also, I recently came from a place where there are yellow and black speed limit signs in school zones.
No they identified that weighting the sensors towards cameras was inadequate, and weighted the data towards the radar sensor. It had nothing to do with the AI. It is my worry that they won't shut down until all cars start running into walls, and that society at large will be left exposed to a potentially deadly issue without being told about it. That is a huge concern about AI, that there won't be full disclosure from companies of where their life-threatening issues are as the learning gets more and more complex.
What if they notice something amiss only as they turn toward a brick wall at 60 mph? Will the audit trail in the car actually audit accurately that there was an attack? Will an automaker shut down all their cars until the problem is found? Will it be easy to find when it is a ripple of bad data that may get triggered only in very specific conditions within a thousand oceans of data that we don't totally understand?
So the cars going the other way are stuck with half a green light because they have to wait for the remainder of the convoy to go by? I can't see how that would work.
Often long lost relatives want to remain that way for good reason. It is not for facebook to make the decision of who knows about who. If facebook were a person devulging such information, it may very well be considered a serious breach of trust on one side or the other.
The problem with that is that people don't think anything is ever going to go wrong when they get into a manually driven car, but automation in reality will have to be much safer than a human driver for people to adopt them. I recently got a vehicle with an adaptive cruise control, and I have had many comments that I am crazy to put my trust in even that.
How do you know the data coming from the sensors we have will ever be successfully interpreted by AI for driving in any situation they encounter in the world? Even humans would have a problem driving by camera, that's why we still have windshields.

You are entitled to your opinion, but it doesn't make you representative of any majority.

You may not need it but a lot of people want to watch Game of Thrones. Is HBO available OTA?

But avoiding obvious mistakes might be interesting theoretical discussion but it's not going to make a commercially viable solution.
People are sheep. News at 11.

Yes that must be very problematic for people too stupid to work out the meaning of a sentence from the other words in it.

It's pretty obvious that the goal is profit under the guise of being all about safety.
It will happen until an automated truck causes massive deaths, then it will stop.
Correction: We need SAE level 4 AND a guarantee from the car company that they will take full responsibility for any and all damages made by the car.
The problem with that is that people don't think anything is ever going to go wrong when they get into a manually driven car, but automation in reality will have to be much safer than a human driver for people to adopt them.
