In Canada, the BLM movement unfortunately chose to demonstrate during the pride parade in Toronto and felt justified to delay someone else's cause for 30 minutes. I think the hashtag should be #BlackLivesMatterMOST.
I don't know about racist.. I'm having trouble getting accurate information but I know in the first shooting the person being 'immobilized' definitely fought police and ignored their orders. I'm not sure about the Minnesota one.. the officer involved seems to have told the person NOT to reach for his wallet and he did anyway.
So you're suggesting that the government may one day mandate automation in all vehicles? That's a pretty far stretch, considering only the most basic and rudimentary of automation has ever been forced. I wouldn't even call a seatbelt automation, it's just a safety feature that costs the auto maker literally less than $5 per vehicle. Companies have way more lobbying power these days to resist government in forcing them to do anything that may impact the bottom line, and people can't afford vehicles as it is.
That's how business is done these days.. Bend all the rules in your favor and ignore the authorities until you can't any more, and then complain about how unfair the world is.
It is clear that autopilot is not used while the plane is taxiing and during takeoff. Just like with Tesla autopilot you need to get out into an open highway to turn it on. But just like a pilot sets autopilot once in the air and almost always leaves it there for most of the flight, it is reasonable that people would expect to get to the open highway and leave it there until approaching their destination.
Well, then people really need to stop slowing down for trucks and run into them more and report them to police. I personally have to slow down for a truck doing this at least once a month and I don't even drive all that much. It is a regular thing that happens in traffic.
You're right of course. But what really annoys me is people who complain about how dumb people are after they only use Facebook for their source of information. Facebook should be able to do whatever they want, and it follows that most people will be dumber for it so get used to living with dumb people and stop complaining about it.
As an outsider, to me an airplane autopilot does everything that a plane needs to do in the air. It would not be in planes if the pilot had to disengage it every 10 minutes, it would not be taken seriously. Upon hearing that they put Autopilot in a car, I don't think it is unreasonable to think that it will do everything a car needs to do on a straight stretch of road.
And even then the number is probably even greater since Autopilot doesn't do ALL divided highway driving, only the simplest parts of all divided highway driving.
1) Then they are the wrong company to do it. Let a company with innovation enough to know how to test it without using people as guinea pigs take the profit from it. Mythbusters found many old empty housing areas to do real world tests in, it's not hard. It may cost money, but that would be a worthwhile expense for a company wanting to safe lives.
2) That's not proven for the truck / trailer case. We can't ask the driver if he saw the trailer and wanted to let autopilot handle it.
3) Then they will never be safe enough for such mass adoption that they will safe a significant number of lives.
Another way of looking at it is that autopilot does everything a plane needs it to to fly in the air. Therefore I would expect Tesla autopilot to do everything it needs to do to drive on the highway.
Oh yes because when my wife can't sleep at 2am because she is incapacitated by a migraine, I want to call for a car and have to wait for it. I'd rather have a manual car waiting in my driveway thanks.
The thing is these car companies are releasing a driving service, so they should be as safe as other driving services such as bus drivers. Yes the route is predefined but the autonomous GPS data is supposed to predefine any route.

Do you hire Canadians that can't move to the US because healthcare would be way too expensive?
And I say 'seems to' because I have not found an article that tells the real full story of what happened.
I don't know what the procedure is when a person has a gun. Obviously vastly different then when a person doesn't have a gun.

Neither of my cars has ABS. Seatbelt is there because governments force it.

At least 10 years.. my mother in law has a 2006 Lexus with automatically leveling headlights and automatic windshield wipers.

I've never heard of a plane crashing because the pilots were not being attentive while not on autopilot.

Sorry, forgot my line breaks.

How are we going to get to the days where we don't have accidents? Are you going to buy a Tesla for everyone?

Most plane autopilots just handle flying in a consistent direction and speed, or following a selected .descent/ascent profile.
Because that is all that is required for an airplane. Did Tesla do all that was required for a vehicle on a busy highway? Nope.
Oh yes because when my wife can't sleep at 2am because she is incapacitated by a migraine, I want to call for a car and have to wait for it. I'd rather have a manual car waiting in my driveway thanks.
Really? Because the only automated I've ever seen filter down to the average person's car ever in the history of cars is normal cruise control.

This is certainly a case where marketing was WAY out of balance with reality.
