There is no choice, the legally mandated action is to simply apply brakes and not swerve.
The car should never put itself in a situation where it has to make that choice. If someone else puts it in that situation, it's their fault whoever is injured. Swerving just makes the AI liable when it otherwise wouldn't have been.
I'm the stories the rules work reasonably well for most robots, particularly simple ones. So maybe they could serve as a reasonable baseline for things like floor cleaners, car washes, construction machinery, delivery drones etc.
TFA makes it sound like she is trolling. She hasn't actually had any opposition, she just claims that she could make this amazing breakthrough but is worried someone might object in some way.
TFA cites opposition to GM foods, but she isn't making food plants.
She is claiming that the mere potential for someone to object is stopping her, which is silly to say the least.
Or it's reasonable reporting on the most common type of car with level 2 autonomy features.
What we need to see is if they report accidents with Nissan ProPilot and GM Super Cruise enabled cars just as often. That would be a very useful comparison, since both have more safety/nag features than tesla does.
The whole point of Google's ads is that advertisers can't gather information on you. That separation of the company holding the personal/demographic data and the advertiser is the whole point of their model.
Can confirm. I called Apple years ago to get my account deleted. You couldn't do it online back then, don't know if you can now. Anyways, after 20.minutes of warnings and legal agreements and "are you sure?" they deleted it...
Except that they said I could never sign up with the same email address again, so clearly they didn't delete everything.
Oh, but today the GDPR comes into effect, so I might contact them again.
Why would Google sell your data? Aside from being illegal where I live, it would be giving away a major source of revenue.
Their business model isn't selling your data. It's selling ad impressions guided by that data. Ensuring your privacy is a key part of the model, because the moment that data leaks out its value is destroyed and users will no longer trust them with it.
It's the "proper" outcome, in that it maximises choice. What we need to do now is make the choice to have children more attractive.
As for having children earlier, I agree it would be good but the only way to make that happen will be to fully fix things like the gender wage gap and age discrimination. At the moment there seems to be a lot of push back.
I think a lot of guys enjoy the freedom of not having kids, making having them young more difficult.
The main reason that men are not wanting children is that they are becoming liberated like women were in the 60s. Unlike women though there is no biological clock, at least not until old age.
It's easy to keep putting off having children. Plus, the basic cost of living is so high that kids are unaffordable anyway. They also see their parents doing better and assume they will later in life too, which looks somewhat unlikely now.
Feminazis are an invention of anti-feminists. Of course feminists say stupid things from time to time, but feminazis are just a straw man to rail against.
Indeed, it won't be turned off until all those valuable drive time listeners and OAPs get digital radios. For cars it's particularly difficult to retrofit, because the original controls on the dash and steering wheel work with the cheap kits and the expensive ones are expensive and tricky to fit.
Plus digital reception on the move is shit. My car has it but it keeps dropping out, several times just on the way to work. The conversion kits make things worse, with low quality antenna splitters or internal stubs, and besides the standard FM ones on older cars are no good for DAB anyway.
Plus I make industrial products that rely on FM radio so they damn we better give me 5 years notice:-)
We need something better than home delivery. It's inconvenient, most people are at work while it happens anyway. Stuff gets lost/stolen/wet. Lack of time means even if you are in they often don't bother to ring the bell or just lob it in your garden.
I get most stuff delivered to work. We have Amazon lockers. Maybe USPS could consider a low cost deliver-to-locker system? Drive through collection with mobile app that tells them when you get near so the package is taken off the shelf and waiting.
Think about an AI hiring assistant. It can be trained to sift through CVs looking for potentially good candidates, but that's not really a very good way to find candidates.
In a competitive market with a skills shortage you want the find candidates with less "traditional" CVs. You might need to phone interview them to really know. As we have seen with Google's AI, people don't like talking to robots...
Having been there I can believe it. The whole country is a giant building site.
Also, artificial lighting is not a good measuring tool for GDP. In China the culture is just that a lot of public spaces are poorly lit. Even in hotels it's not uncommon not have hallway lights turned off, or at least on occupancy sensors.

Or more likely I'll go to use some service and the computer will say no. If there even is a human being available they won't be able to do anything.
I have arthritis. I can't apply consistent pressure. Changes day to day. Used to have trouble signing for credit card purchases.

Same goes for humans.

Germany has already released draft rules for robot cars that will eventually become law.
One rule is no consideration of things like age when making decisions. And no deliberately selecting targets when an accident is unavoidable.

Digital TV proved that people will gladly accept extremely low quality in exchange for 100 channels of bullshit.
I don't understand it either.

I'm glad that Slashdot is slowly coming around to the idea that the right to be forgotten is a good one.
Does Apple not allow you to trial apps at all?
Google gives you 15 minutes to request a refund. That's usually enough to see if the app is worth a few bucks.

I was gonna say MAME too. It's but just that it emulates a huge number of systems, it does so with remarkable accuracy*.
* Not enough to save Billy Mitchell though.
The kernel patching protection in Windows 8 would have stopped struxnet. Don't say they don't learn from their mistakes.

So what is wrong with the US that makes it so bad for public transport?
It works great in other countries, so why is the US failing so badly?
Is it really impossible that Musk and Tesla actually care about emissions?
It worked fine with wireless charging. It only maintained the battery level rather than charging it, buy that was okay.
