    I grew up with many people who have cottages 3-4 hours away that are used in the winter and then when you get there there is only a gas generator or fire for heat. So, yes I do believe it is common.

  2. Bingo. Companies haven't made it a good place to study. Now they reap what they sow.

    Yes it's just a huge coincidence there is a loophole every place a corporation could be paying taxes.

    As the ruleset becomes too complex for humans to understand it there will always be glitches and no way to prevent them. I guess it's up to society whether they want to accept slightly safer driving overall in exchange for rare 20 car pileups because the brakes locked on the highway.

    Maybe they should be paying the airplane loaders a bit more than they pay the warehouse workers.

    I can't wait until this technology is in cars!

  7. They have proven that most people cannot comprehend those agreements.

  8. A real competition where he picks who gets to play is not a real competition.

    No, we wear winter gear here, I'm from Manitoba. But if I'm going for a long drive on the highway I take it off.

    Because no one who drives in an environment like that would ever buy a Tesla.

  12. It seems to me that mobile apps wouldn't be a thing either if this logic was true.

    Yup, better in three cases and totally clueless in 100 or more I'm sure if we made a list.

    Yeah it's going to be a long time before AI can do something like this. Then they will get it working and it will happen in a snow storm and they will be back to square one.

    I was talking about a bag blowing across the road. The behavior will be different for the bag and the goose because the goose can always run back, especially if there are goslings. The car will have to be much more cautious with the goose.

    Simple, if the car finds itself in New Hampshire, it stops at every intersection to be safe.

  18. Where I live people mainly have electric ovens. Is this different for electric?

  19. Open the windows once and you might not get them open again without a lot of hairdryer thawing.

    Lol.. no you don't want people on the road stopping for bags. When it's a living animal you stop, otherwise it is dangerous to impede the flow of traffic.

    Is this about being better than a human? Because if it is then stop using the excuse that a human does it so the car should too.

    If this is about being as good as a human, then you should be able to cover around 60% of the camera lenses and still drive because a human can. Current AI get confused with that.

    I don't have to worry because there is no way these cars will be able to handle the window where I am anyway, but if I lived in a city where these things might be I would have my bar set a lot higher. Humans can't drive a vehicle with their vision impaired, it is absolutely up to these companies to ensure the instrumentation on these cars is infallible. I clear my windows of snow before I drive, I expect the cameras to see fully as well.

    Phoning home? They're going to have to be connected constantly, or are you telling me the on board AI is going to be smart enough to determine whether a bag is blowing across the road or whether it is something to be avoided, like a goose.
