That's great, but I'd much rather someone come at me with a knife or a bat than with a gun. Because with a gun they didn't have to come at me at all and I'm probably already dead. So, in closing, proposing to do something that is impossible and will never happen in society is not much of a solution at all.
So if we want to make a significant dent in violent crime, we can:
A) Prevent a few bad people from using a gun, or
B) Prevent thousands of people from using clubs, etc.
Hmm...
Part of the problem with the Canadian federal government is the way they do internal promoting. If someone is in some non-IT field at the right level to promote, they don't really have to have much technology experience in order to get into the IT group. Maybe they wrote a vbs script for their group that gets noticed, soon they are in the IT group and running the big servers with no idea how to do it. There is very little hiring from the outside for things like enterprise IT infrastructure experts.
This is how it really works:
-TV companies advertise smart models
- Stores place new smart models at the front and relegate old non-smart models to the back
- More people buy smart models because it is the first thing they see when they walk in the store
- The industry goes, "oh people like smart models and we make more money on them" and stops selling non-smart models, completely ignoring that there are stil people buying them
People are reacting to manipulation in advertising and selling tactics and the industry takes that as a sign of what people want.
Since Capitalism is an amazing system that gives consumers the options they want, I'm sure there will be non-privacy invading cars that are available for the original price and privacy invading cars that are marked down %25 to compensate. You know, just like one can go to the store and buy every TV model in the 'non-smart' version.
There is not always a plug available. I would do that at home, but if I stay overnight at a friends and park on the street, no plug available. Plus public lots ticket you if you they anything more than a block heater plugged in, and even that they cycle on and off because they won't want to pay for the electricity to run them.
There's a very simple reason why they will be as expensive as taxis, corporations are greedy. You think they are dumping billions into self driving just to make a 0.01% markup on their services? They look to take the cost savings of the driver to the bank.
The point is that the hard part of AI is to make those cameras "understand" together what they are seeing and react correctly to it. In this game example they skipped the camera part and just read the memory, so yeah that's cheating.
Now I am more sure than ever that automation is going to decimate even availability of public transportation. This will become a tax on people who want to get from one part of a city to another. Society is just not moving towards shiny automatic chariots like on the spaceship in WALL-E.
Why not just use this hour to train them to be plumbers or electricians? They are far more likely to be able to solder two copper pipes together or wire a light switch in an hour than produce anything tangible with a computer program.
Yes I agree with your point about city transit being much better. But that is 100 years in the future, long after anyone here will see it. Maybe in a large center, but my city has a hard time keeping a fleet of 10 year old buses on the road. The budget for transit just isn't there, and buses don't get in accidents. So none of this will happen for us in the foreseeable future. I thought we were talking about the more near term. If automated cars are ready in the next 10 years it's going to be a company like Uber or Hertz initially being efficient and cheap and they will be better than traditional taxis and push them out. But once the taxis are gone, there won't be as much motive to clean the vehicles and they will start to age and become more expensive, and mostly greed will set in and prices will go up well beyond a person using it as a service to get back and forth to work every day.

Perhaps drones of over a certain size should have an extra propeller for safety, at least to be flown over crowds.
*cough* 10 hour battery life *cough*

It probably happened at a hundred thousand other houses that year, but not your house, so it's ok.
Paying for parking at the hospital IS a bitch though.

You might mention that America is being beat by many other nations in terms of increasing average life span.
Capitalism only supplies what people are paying the MOST for. This ends up satisfying an elite few and leaves others going along with it.

-TV companies advertise smart models
- Stores place new smart models at the front and relegate old non-smart models to the back

People are reacting to manipulation in advertising and selling tactics and the industry takes that as a sign of what people want.
And it's not forget that it makes profit, so it's ok.
If you think towing a car is a solution then you have never truly depended on a car.
Why not just transport to work?
I can't wait for a five autonomous car coordinated attack on some crowded public area.

So now downloading a movie is being compared to threats of public safety?

So if they wanted to win, golf clap, they won. If they wanted to prove anything, they didn't.

If mummy and daddy know their asses from their noses they don't want their kids to be programmers either.

So people NEED to see movies to belong now? Humanity is so screwed.
