Imagine WannaCry virus in hyper-connected cars. Good chance of a 100% infection rate there. If you think manually human driven cars are worse, you're crazy.
What we really need is capitalism with a government that ignores everything else except what is good for its citizens. You know, "by the people, for the people".
But my point is that it will be 200 years before all 11 people are in an automated car. Also, it's not likely that I am going to find my time in the car that productive since I don't really have anywhere to go that is the length of a movie and I would prefer to do my watching at home anyway. Since my purpose of using the car is to get somewhere, I would like it to continue my manually driven car objective of just trying to get me where I need to go as quickly as possible. I don't have a problem with people driving the speed limit or even below the speed limit in the non-passing lane. However, I know where I live people don't feel our roads are of the type where they should be doing that and I don't like it when they hold me up.
There will be many people who will have to drive behind and around these vehicles. What kind of self involved moron will be happy to watch a movie while there is a lineup of 10 cars behind them?
As a member of the audience, if I am going to be buying a chipset then who do I buy it from if I want to talk with my wallet? Aren't Intel and AMD pretty much the only games in town?
Except companies have been complaining that they can't find anyone for 10 years now, so if that was going to happen it would have already. Instead, companies appeal to the government which gives them relief in the form of programs such as H-1B.
That's captured by the unemployment statistics, believe it or not. And those numbers are dropping, which is good.
Cite reference.
People drop out because they retire. A lot of people, especially now with baby boomers retiring. Thus the raw number "how many people are dropping out" is not a useful statisti
You're right, probably not very useful either, unless you can isolate the number that are dropping out because they are frustrated, which brings us to the welfare numbers... This NIH sponsored study clearly shows them going up
So because there are some people finding a job, which may even be a lesser quality job, you're prepared to ignore the massive number of people dropping out? You're looking at the statistics wrong, plain and simple. The only things that matter are A) how many people are dropping out, and B) the number of people who are not able to find a job of equal stability and compensation to the one they had before. Unemployment statistics were never meant to reflect this. The only statistic s we have that tells us something are the number of people on welfare and the number of people dropping out.
Not sure what single payer has to do with this, but it's not like the American healthcare system runs like a well-oiled machine by comparison. In fact, it is probably the most fragmented and disorganized health care system there is.
If the no left turn sign is bent in a way that it is not recognized, then it is a violation. In my city signs will stay bent for weeks. What happens once one car doesn't detect the sign? It will tell all the OTHER cars that it is ok to go that way! What if someone obscures the sign? Still a violation.
You're dreaming if you think this could ever work. The 'live database' solution is riddled with problems, not the least of which is that cars are not good at adapting to slight differences. In fact it would be a disaster if only one car were to make a mistake and the rest followed. You need to think this out more.
It is bad enough when a human gets confused in traffic, we don't need a thousand SDCs on the road that will confuse each other.
Right but then if a stop sign is missing what does it do at that point until the 'mother ship' confirms what is going on? Still stop even though the jurisdiction removed the stop sign? That's going to cause traffic snarls and issues. What about 'no left turn during rush hour signs'? If it doesn't find one suddenly will it turn and risk a ticket or will it stop and frustrate everyone?

So why the hell upgrade ever?
Necessity is the mother of invention. Maybe this will make it necessary enough for someone to do it. Or at least have it work for Netflix.
How is this dirt cheap? Alibaba has Android phones for $60.
We're talking about x86

A thousand times this. If self driving as it is today (rule-based) becomes the norm, we will forever be driving behind a grey haired old lady.
SSSHHH you're supposed to pretend self driving has been solved when you post here.

According to this the US lost 30% of its capacity to create good jobs over the last 30 years when you take all types of compensation into account.
More useful statistics from wikipedia. Average income is not keeping up to growth in GDP, dispelling the myth that people receive adequate reward as their companies become more profitable. Also, average income peaked in the 70's.

Simple, when 90% of the population starves and dies, then the people that remain inherit it all and enjoy increased standard of living. (duh)
Why would you assume people are finding new jobs? Welfare participation as well as the number of people dropping out of the job market are going up.
Except they aren't taking away your porn, only links that kids may stumble on that lead to porn unknowingly.
Technology was supposed to make our lives easier and free us. How come with every advance, it feels more like oppression?
Except 'not well integrated' usually means 'we have to connect as much as possible to the open internet as a last resort so we can do anything'.

You are never going to get any jurisdiction to keep a database of road markers up to date to real time, it just won't happen.
