    As opposed to the more people who have died in Teslas?

    Apparently I pushed a button. :-)

    Because the Uber car had probably been driving itself for a lot longer and in more difficult conditions than Autopilot ever would.

    Not just edge cases, absolutely stupid darwin award cases. Yes a person can physically drive down a sidewalk so you had better prepare for it.

    "retirement community" was actually what I was looking for.

    If pulling over is so easy, why does a Tesla keep driving even when it knows the driver is not responding as required for being in the car?

    We don't even have lane markings all year. Is it the same way in Finland?

    Also far more people have died on airplanes than have died on flying cars.

    Or let one of the people from the community drive a golf cart. They'll probably get a big kick out of it.

    Humans drive 3.22 trillion miles a year. How many deaths? 32,000? 100,625,000 miles per death. Also keep in mind it will be weighted almost 50% towards cold states with winter weather, so for California driving is probably safer than that average.

    I'd say the Uber car that hit the pedestrian was closer to self-driving than a Tesla.

    Waymo has to intervene every 11k miles and humans drive 450k without even a fender-bender.

    And you don't write the code directly, you have to write a program that writes the code. And then they all have to work 100%.

    Anonymous Coward is from Finland, got it.

  16. Is there any card in this list that costs $50? Because I have to buy motherboard, case, video, memory, hard drive, CPU for preferably under $150.

  17. That's nice if you have old hardware to use. My last desktops died.

  18. I had a dual-core ATOM I was using at the time and it couldn't handle the HECV. Prices may have come down since I was looking before.

    How many car dealerships are available in the world versus app stores?

  20. You know even America has laws like this. TV networks could never sell products because it was considered anti-competitive; they would get the air time cheaper than any other company. This isn't a much different situation.

    That sucks. When there is a choice of how to open a link in Android it asks you what you want to do.

  23. I'm not that fussy about the sound. I just don't want Raspberry Pi modulated PCM sine-wave sound. Thanks for your comments, I will actually look into that. I might build another system that can both do media and be a backup server.

    I'm shocked that Ford actually cares about people enough not to subject the public to half-baked technology like the other automakers.
