I must admit this news disturbs me, but I don't consider iOS a viable alternative. Would be nice to have a mobile OS without a walled garden that didn't track you.
Sure.. you have one case with a trailer, think of all other situations that can happen with a trailer... This stuff isn't hard. You just have to have a mindset that you need to prepare for anything. If you don't feel you are prepared for everything that can possibly happen in the physical world then you haven't tested enough.
I can't imagine that they would have released software that could drive into a trailer if they had tested thoroughly. ESPECIALLY after the case a month before where a person pocket dialed their car and it drove into the back of a trailer on its own. No excuse for them to only be closing that gap now.
Usually in cases of life or death, there is standardized testing done before products are released to the market. Reference FDA testing standards for drugs. Reference flight tests by professionals before a prototype airplane is mass produced. Tesla has designed a new airplane here and basically brought it from blueprint to production in a single step.
Many people here think the lives that autonomy end today don't matter based on the dream that it will ever be in the hands of enough people to make a statistical difference in the future.
Still won't work. You would have to reproduce any stupid event that can happen in real life:
- Kid running out into road 20' in front of car
- Kid running out into road 10' in front of car
- Kid running out into road 5' in front of car
- Person dropping rock off bridge at same increments
- Sandbag in road on bend
- Sandbag in road on straightaway
- Large obstacle overhanging left six feet of road (on straightaway / on bend)
- Large obstacle overhanging left ten feet of road (on straightaway / on bend)
- Shopping bag blowing across road
- Heavy object the size of a shopping bag swinging from bridge
If engineers were able to think of all this stuff then they would design the car to handle it in the first place.
When I first read about this comment, all that ran through my mind was the voice of Goofy saying, "Heeeyuk well I guess THAT didn't work, lets try something different!"
They're a sovereign nation, but the only choice they have in this case is to be in the EU and play by EU rules, or not be in the EU. They can't both be in a club but not play by the rules.
If someone says they're going to sell you a bridge, and you pay them for that bridge, and then it turns out they didn't own the bridge to sell in the first place, it doesn't mean they physically took away the bridge. It wasn't there in the first place.
I have been using elementary OS for a few months now, and I like it. I've put it on my development laptop, my media centers and a few very underpowered machines we have around. One of my kids was overjoyed to be able to play Minecraft on their older laptop, which was too slow on Mint. Previously I used Linux Mint but found it a little more glitchy then elementary and quite a bit more resource heavy. The only distro I have found to be similarly light was Lubuntu but the interface in elementary is more modern; and I am most definitely NOT a mac fan. I hate files and replaced it with nemo, but otherwise the menu is simple and to the point and the dock does what it is supposed to do. For everything else, it is basically Ubuntu so you get the huge software repository.
I wish you were around back when my local government forgot to tax my corporation. The fact that I was told I didn't have to pay the tax meant absolutely zero when they discovered what had happened.
Apple set up their tax strategy not based on laws, but based on people looking the other way. Too much has come out in the last year, for them to keep doing so so this is a risk they were always taking. Everyone can see it is screwing up the global economy so something had to give.
People like making money. Sure you have to pay people more to take a temporary position, that's part of business expense. You either pay them to get them into the position or you make it less of a temporary position. As it turns out, Trump chose to be unoriginal and do what everyone else is doing. That was his choice, now he needs to live by it.

Perhaps armor is the most reasonable solution. I keep hearing about all the power of the electric motor, it would have enough to carry it.

You're right.. Human nature did all that. The fault of autonomy is that it is not designed with human nature in mind.
If someone sells you a bridge and you pay for it, when you find out it's a scam you don't actually GET the bridge.
I would hope people who write software in life or death situations would approach the problem with greater foresight.
If you think flying in the open sky is anywhere as complicated as driving on a public highway then you're an idiot.

And by the way, enjoy it while it lasts.. H1B will make us a third world soon.
We live in the first world. Why would we worry about someone else's problems? That will only make a person psychotic.
I hope so. I have a good friend who is traditionally an Apple person and he is totally pumped for the oncoming of completely wireless headphones.
Ok so they will be outsourcing the professors and doctors then? Because I can tell you, they make way more than the IT staff made.
The problem is, right or wrong, the industry tends to follow Apple's lead. That's what people are afraid of.
..and I'm really looking for another device to charge. My 8 port hub is full every night and I just need more things to charge.
Trump wants to pay his workers less too.
