I think he means what happens when the battery degrades to the point of not charging fully as all batteries seem to do. I think that is partly the point of this move, to make headphones disposable so that people get locked into buying fresh ones every couple years.
We're not talking about people. People aren't expected to be perfect, but something that is supposed to be a service that replaces people has a much higher bar to hit if it is to be trusted at all.
The problem with AI is that they fix one situation and it doesn't necessarily apply if there wasn't other cars around before and now there is, or if the road was straight before but now there is a bend. We all know how confusing sandbags are when they are in the road.
Food trucks still have to have safety inspections, stainless steel surfaces, adequate cooling, etc. Unless you live in a poor region of a country like India, which is where the US is headed it seems.
I think then the whole problem is that the math on the purchase of the car doesn't work out. They have to work a lot of hours to make anything once the vehicle expenses are taken care of.
I find it kind of funny that people are cheering for Uber as fighting against the 'corrupt' cab companies but all we're ending up for is a monopoly with one company. How good can things possibly be once that happens?
Would you eat at an unregulated restaurant if it meant you had a chance of getting food poisoning every time you ate there? No one sat down and said they wantd to make taxis more expensive 'just because'. There are reasons for that extra cost that protect the public over time (both customers and non-customers). By taking the cheaper price, you are making things a little worse for the entire population of the city you live in.
The real problem is that the economy is so desperate that people feel that they have to work in the conditions that Uber presents them with. I can't really blame Uber for treating people like crap, because corporations are soulless entities that try to make as much money as they can. But in a good economy the conditions have to be better in order to attract employees.
It's a one ton machine being driven by an intelligence that doesn't fully understand the world around it. Of course it will kill people. It will be an unusual situation that the engineers didn't think of like a heavy object swinging from a rope, but it will kill people. It is impossible for the engineers to think of everything unless they mark off a completely unused section of a town and test every possible scenario there.
How many humans screwed up so badly they had to shut off the car and stop you ask? None. If any went the wrong way they realized their mistake and we're able to navigate out of it safely, doing much better than the automated car.
Was this reply supposed to be for me? I'm saying we can't predict, so we shouldn't do. Everyone is so sure automated cars will save lives... they are the ones making the prediction.
I would sue if a family member were injured or killed due to AI. It wouldn't be about the money, it would be about holding the creator of the AI accountable.
Why am I more responsible for an automated car with only a box in it than I am for riding the bus or a taxi? You can't be held responsible for things you have absolutely no control over. They might as well hold people responsible for every accident whether they were at fault or not.
Yeah, I've thought about the difference as well, but all-wheel-drive vehicles with vehicle stability assist do really seem to make snow- and ice-covered roads seem like pavement on a dry, sunny day a lot of the time.
Well the automakers would be where the liability should lie, but I'm so concerned about the ability for large corporations to skate around things like this I don't have a lot of optimism they will be held accountable.

So you're looking forward to Apple taking you back to the one-ear earphones of the 70's?
No, they're still smug too.

Could you repeat that please?
Not just one battery to keep charged but TWO! This no headphone jack ideal just sounds more courageous all the time.

40 hours should be a living wage. 70 hours should be living wage plus a boat.... or something.
Then real American society is mostly starving on the street. Have fun with that.

Because a graduated license for AI is more like Autopilot, and that isn't working out very well.
Well thank god technology is more reliable and safer now, and people don't have to be subjected to dangerous machinery.

Everyone will get it when they're starving.

..until you really have to hit the brakes.

Right, and apparently driving a manual car is worth the risk for almost everyone so why risk lives to implement it? If we ever do adequately.
