Nor only does the technology be able to perform, but it's not going to make a lick of difference if 90% of the population can't afford it. I don't personally think seeing in all directions and making split second decisions gets us very far towards being a good driver overall.
It doesn't just feel like you have more control, you do have more control. If you truly fear accidents, in a manual car you can choose to drive 20 mph everywhere you want. Everyone who drives a manual car is actively balancing convenience with safety, so when you get in an accident it is attributable to the choices you made while driving. In an automated car you have no choice, so it is somewhat akin to getting into a bus. When you give control to someone else you make a risk estimate based on what you know about the safety of buses. No one would use public transit if people died using it every month.
When I hop on a bus I expect to get to my destination without being in a terrible accident. This is no different then expectations that people have for autopilot.
The big difference is that pilots don't tend to have mountains jump out in front of them with seconds to react. So even if Tesla Autopilot is exactly like airline autopilot, it is probably vastly inadequate.
The problem is that Teslas don't do all the driving that humans do. If a human gets in an accident backing out of their driveway that will be counted in human accident stats but Autopilot as it is right now would not prevent that accident.
Add to that the fact that no one knows how enough people are supposed to afford these things to make a statistical difference. Past developments in the automobile have not tended to trickle down to the masses unless forced by law and are not a good sign that the average person will ever obtain automation.
The lawyers will answer this question. Will automated driving be able to survive the slew of lawsuits that will occur when people die because they used the product in a way that they wouldn't otherwise have?
Since there is no realistic plan for how we get automation into the hands of everyone and not just the wealthy to achieve these "lives saved", we can't accept this as an excuse.
Well, interesting you mention GDP, because if a person's wages was actually going up relative to their increase in output then they would likely be able to afford their own health care. As it is, the system is designed so that the heads of companies get to dictate what is done with the additional rewards and they have not chosen to filter it down to the common worker. Therefore the only entity in place that can fill this gap is the government. If the government does not want to change the system of distributing capital then they must continue to collect taxes to fill the gap.
Almost everyone turned to oauth as the bastion of mobile security. You want a list of almost every mobile app that connects to a server? Every time you get a dialog message on your phone that says 'this app needs to access your information on site y, please acknowledge', that is oauth.
Costs will always rise, it is called inflation. But when you make it an all you can eat buffet, then yeah your going to be throwing food into a bottomless pit. Costs are rising in the US more than any other nation and the average American isn't getting anything for it.
There is no standard of health care that is right at the moment. There is a healthy society and there is a society full of illness. A society that is full of illness cannot produce. I don't know why you keep bringing up the starving and freezing thing, a society that is well is better able to fend for themselves meaning less starving and freezing.
I had a BBS, but it was down most of the time because I wanted to play simcity and my XT couldn't multitask yet. Who remembers the big BBS platforms? Opus comes to mind.
How are people going to have food and shelter if they are too sick to work? More and more people are having these conditions because they have hope now that they can be treated.
Wow, I just want to say that you are a stone cold asshole. Obviously conditions like this are rare and will stay that way. The bulk of the population is not suddenly going to get rare conditions that require a lot of money to treat.
There has to be a way for Airdrop to confirm that someone didn't break into my wireless network, name their mac the same as mine, and sit there ready to accept my file, so there has to be some set up. Either Airdrop is an unnecessary layer of authentication or it is avoiding authentication altogether which is probably a bigger problem.
It's not realistic because Autopilot is not consistent with human nature. That should be the giant red flag right there. It doesn't mean that we should lower our standards of safety, it means that the onus should be on Tesla to change their system so that it is consistent with human nature and they can say 100%.
Well.. You have more people losing their houses than we do so obviously Canadian regulations are right somehow. The point behind the limit on five year teams is so that you are not beholden to a certain institution. Why would anyone ever want a long mortgage in the US if it could be sold from a bank that they like to a bank that will treat them like crap? Generally citizens here trust the government to manage the interest rate and look out for their best interests and not allow it to rise too quickly.

Apparently they are. Teslas send back driving info at all times regardless of whether Autopilot is activated or not.

The second one shouldn't count, since that is a use of Autopilot that Tesla does not approve of.
Mazda isn't making trying to make the case that they should be given special treatment because their cars kill less people.

Well, profiting off the ill and going bankrupt for getting cancer isn't right either.
Lol I was running my bbs in 1987, 7 years before os/2 was even released.
The thing about Opus was that it had the concept of distributed messages.. I don't know how many had that at the time.

How is solving a rubik's cube ANYTHING like self driving? That's worse than thinking a computer that can solve Go is ready to drive a car.

When you are talking about someone living or not living, you don't need to 'balance' you need to be 100% sure.
