Humans can't do anything about their eyes. Automatic car designers have all the time in the world to make sure their sensors are infallible.
The problems they are finding now should have been found way before they put these cars on the road. They should have been found in closed testing environments of which there are many.
The problem is that it has been demonstrated that these sensors are easily fooled. I'm sure they can see the child in broad daylight, but if there is a funny shadow that tricks the sensors then there is nothing but excuses. They'll say "oh we didn't think we had to think of that" but they do have to think of that because they have a heavy vehicle driving itself in traffic.
I'm talking about driving on the highway in cold weather. Not driving to work in cold weather. If you're telling me I"ll need a charging station every 1-1/2 hours, that is completely unworkable. Having to wear winter gear in a vehicle is not workable. These are not small inconveniences, these are severe impediments. People can die on the highway if they get stuck since there is no cellphone reception in a lot of places.
I don't know where you are, but where I am you cannot use anything that will potentially freeze in the cold. At the airport here they have the cash machines for the parking lot closed have the time because apparently they can't engineer them with cracks sealed enough, and once freezing rain gets in them they are done.
Furthermore, I just read an article about how the battery range goes down 42% at -8C and how important it is to warm the vehicle when charging if you want range. -8 is an early spring day here.
Why do EV owners always hide these unpleasant truths?
Ok so if I skip C and then have to crank the heat once I'm out on the highway how comfortable will the vehicle be and how far will the battery take me?
Every accident where the automation kills someone will be a second class murder charge because they already had full opportunity to program that car for that situation and they hit the person anyway. As far as I know, "driving is too complicated" is not an excuse for a human getting in an accident and it shouldn't be for AI either. The AI should be expected to be able to drive safely.
Bingo. No more money left over for a rental ICE to go on a long trip. Poster scores the car a 9 out of 10 but I see 5 out of 10 kind of problems just in this comment.
Hold on, after being told that I can charge anywhere on the road and I just have to go there if the lights are on if I'm running out of power at -40C and I can charge, you are now saying "You're not supposed to charge on 110V"?? Oh this is precious.
As long as they don't hold me responsible for it because I happen to be the owner of the car. I have no control over what it does. I can maintain it and that's about it.
Trusting their security to keep the temperature of my home steady and trusting their security to not record everything my family is saying are two totally different things.
So I don't have to know a hacker is one firmware away from activating the microphone in my device? Don't assume I am the only one altering the firmware.

For one thing, they don't even have a sensor that works with a drop of water on it. Why even continue if that doesn't exist?

People seem to think that consumers give a shit.

I've never had an ICE engine fail on me, I drive them until the body falls apart. I guess we'll see how Model 3s do.

Obviously since the system can't drive and the entire system is the same, then the entire system should be switched off.
If my computer doesn't have four wheels and an engine, I'm not going to worry about it driving out the front door.
....not surprised.
I wish you were around when the guy broke my passenger window because I forgot to hide my $80 GPS.
Independent Security Evaluators (ISE) published an assessment on Tuesday with the results of testing with several popular password managers.
I have to snicker that anyone would fail so spectacularly. They realized just now that memory has to hold field data at some point?
If they are in the router business they will make it reasonably secure.. Whereas Google is known to be more focused on collecting data than security.

Actually the icons look more like chalk or pastels.
My note 9 just updated and the fonts changed and everything looks like it was done in crayon, icons included. Is that what this is about?
I'll bet Trump found those buckets of uranium and removed them himself!
Wow this would be awesome news if all I wanted to do in life was pushups!!
