I've never been able to open an excel spreadsheet with macros in LibreOffice and have it work. Have an excel spreadsheet where someone has set up filters for ease of use? Doesn't work.
When I was looking for a file manager, either those ones weren't there yet or the glowing reviews of ES prevented me from finding the other ones. I'll be looking for them now.
The reason I use Android versus iOS is because I want to mess around with files and directories. One use case, I don't trust the phone's magic to gather all the images from the camera for me, so much easier and straight forward to just select and move the image files to my network storage. I also use ES Explorer to do this... which will definitely not be staying if I have to look at adware. Seems to be a pretty big price to pay for a file manager.
Assuming 'smell' is an accurate indicator of anything, I just had my brakes replaced and I can definitely smell them. On the other hand, I can't recall the last time I've smelled exhaust from a vehicle. It was certainly something from the early 90's.
That should have read: "Would you buy a brand of toaster that is known to start fires in ONE of of every million houses it is used in?"
We have much higher safety standards for purchased products then we expect for ourselves. This is a good thing. Of course some products can be abused and in that case they aren't safe (power tools, birth control), but that doesn't apply here because we are not interacting with the car or being expected to use it in a certain way, only sitting in it.
Would you buy a brand of toaster that is known to start fires in out of of every million houses it is used in? That kind of product wouldn't even be allowed on the market.
Where I live licenses are graduated.. kids can't actually drive on their own for until 19 or so. And that's different, because my kid isn't a machine that I'm paying for to reliably drive properly.
No.. If I am going to be sending a 2000 lb machine out into the world without a driver and possibly with my family in it; it needs to be perfect. If I am the one in a million who has their family injured because the AI got confused, I'm not going to be sitting around going "Oh well I probably would have been more dangerous". As long as there is a chance for me to be sitting around regretting putting my family in an AI car, I don't see the benefit of one.
I hear you. If they can't handle a sand bag on the road, I'd like to know what they would do about a windrow left by plow in the middle of an icy roundabout, such as the one I encountered last winter.
I asked this very question a couple months ago in a thread and people insisted there would be smell sensors and cameras so that the car could drive itself somewhere and clean itself before being used again.
I say great, let us start with the 1% who can afford an extra vehicle. An electric car won't take me where I want to go at present. This makes them a very expensive toy to me. Make them equal in utility to my current vehicle and I will be first in line.
As a parent of kids who are just becoming teens, I can say it is real tough to keep them off of those things. We haven't get bought smartphones for our kids for partly this reason. Judging by how hard it is to keep them away from their tablets at home, and maintain a healthy balance to their lives, teachers will have no chance at it. Once they get phones I can see there will be no going back; they will spend every waking moment on them and we won't be there so there will be nothing we can do. I'm kind of shocked how early parents give these things to their kids to take to school.
But the point is, the Tesla system works only in certain conditions and turns on if those conditions are met. So that is how they can be confident about it, because if conditions are not right for it then it won't work. This is in direct opposition to the way real automation works, which is to have the vehicle unmanned or at least without a steering wheel and works at all times in all weather without issue. Tesla's solution sounds like a bit of a gimmick to me. It's basically cruise control but for steering.
Many shooters get caught without being tracked 24x7 tracking, so your comment that taxi drivers just aren't getting caught is pretty absurd. You seem to be satisfied with finding these criminals after the fact. I'm not. Companies should be doing everything within their power to prevent the crime in the first place. Yes, it will still happen, but after it happens the question should always be 'what will we do to prevent it from happening again'. To me, taking a person's fingerprints and registering them with police before they've committed a crime seems like a reasonable first step. If Uber isn't interested in doing that, then they're not interested in preventing offenses committed by drivers.
From what I read, Tesla Autopilot needs clear lane lines to even be engaged, so we are not talking about the same thing here. Where I live, if you can see the lane markings it hasn't really snowed yet.
What liability are they risking? If your wife is injured in an Autopilot related accident, what penalty will Tesla be made to bear? Sounds like a weak attempt at publicity to me.

Try opening an xls document that was built with complex macros in LibreOffice. Enough said.
I have a lot of soot on my rims, come to think of it.
How free is it?

And then wait how long for the next cab? That's the worst idea ever.

The buggy whip analogy doesn't work because automobiles actually created more jobs domestically, not less.

No, he's just from Utah.
Not self serving of Elon Musk or anything.

I would like to put forward that we switch to Beanie Babies as our primary currency immediately.
You think hospitals have teams of admins do go around and keep the equipment configured?
O M G.. Can you imagine if windows update and antivirus ran at the same time? The world would explode!
