We have an entertainment system in our vehicle but our kids aren't allowed to use it unless we're having a ride that is more than a couple hours and then they are allowed to watch one movie and take a break and read. We play games otherwise as well.
Well true, there is moderation. You don't have to be Amish. I was talking more about the parents that almost look relieved to have an addictive distraction for their kids.
And.. as a result society is more selfish and narcissistic then they were before. You can continue the trend if you want, it's your kids. I'm just saying society would be better if we didn't in general.
I find this sad. There must be a lot of parents out there that would do anything else then talk to their kids. Some our best family conversations are in the car, or at a table. I see kids on devices in those situations and I think, what a missed opportunity for a parent to find out about their kids day went. There are so many distractions in life that keep a parent isolated from their kids and this is one I don't need.
The issue is that a kid should be experiencing life a little bit before they learn to distract it away with a phone? I know if my kids had smartphones that would be the end of conversations in the car and at restaurants and I happen to like talking to my kids.
You know what makes a productive employee? Having a healthy dose of personal time followed by 8 hours or more of sleep. How many employers are concerned about these basic requirements for their employees? Lack of sleep is certainly more performance affecting during the week than the blunt smoked on the weekend.
I think it's more important that my heart surgeon has had an appropriate amount of sleep. Apparently that's too much to ask for though since doctors are well known to be driven around the clock.
Assuming they park like an average human and allowing for all the other people in the core that will also be sending their vehicles to the suburbs to park, the car will have to drive around 20 mins away to find a spot. Which means if you're stopping for an hour the car will have to drive for a better portion of that hour in order to be parked. Not to mention adding to the congestion getting out of the core area.
Well, if the AI is going to park like the humans whom you think are representative, then it will need to drive to the outskirts of the city to a standardized lot. 20-30 minutes one way depending on traffic. Better hope its not rush hour or your eating dinner out.
Because no one wants to be that one? As protective as Americans are, there are twice as many child abductions here. We both get around 250,000 per year but Europe is roughly twice the population. I get leaflets about child molesters that live in our area all the time.

My kids are entering their teen years and I've never gotten sick of talking to them.

Aren't they dealing with the most urgent/critical cases when they are on call?

How many of these surgeons simply get 8 hours of sleep a night like people are supposed to?

Because this memory is 3x as dense as RAM by storing three bits in a cell, thus making it allegedly 1/3 the price of RAM.
Until they're challenging mainstream automakers it's hard to tell how hurt their sales are.

A network connection? No one is going to want a car that is connected to anything. I certainly don't.

Lobbying and donating gets them far closer to creating laws than a common person. Either way, yes the problem is politicians selling out.
Are we assuming that an automated car will be able parallel park in any space that a human could?
So we can expect it to be at least as bad with ride sharing.

You're talking about that like it is not the same people.
All we are talking about is whether an occupation is worthy of being made more safe by proper vetting.
The only statistic I have is one more mass shooter then taxis have had, in 1/10 the length of the industry.
Yeah, no... I'm not taking responsibility for a car I'm not in.
We're talking about the primary service that people use... Now I have to pay for a 'premium' service just to shuffle my kids around?
I was talking about Kalamazoo
