Toyota Japan knew about this problem a year before Toyota US executives claimed they heard about it, which was well before it got into the news. So it could have been brewing for 15 months.
In the stories, the robots were hard-coded with the Three Laws. It was impossible for a robot to consciously decide to break the Laws, and in cases where they were ordered to, their brains burned out and they stopped moving. It's also worth noting that there were no companies making Laws-less robots in the story universe.
We can't expect that behavior from modern corporations; it'd have to be a capital offense to build robots without those inflexible rules.
The avatars can never touch each other. Everyone will have their personal space that is never ever violated.
How sterile. In order to dissuade people from having sex, even shaking hands is forbidden.
I don't think this will help people do business, as if I see a man on my screen that is a representation of my new client, I want my avatar to shake hands with him, not just/wave from a foot away.
So they're saying that they let people play a driving video game, then put them in a simulator... which is still just another video game, only the scoring is different.
In other words, people were still in a video game driving a pretend car.
I don't believe this has any bearing on real driving. If they let people play GTA and then put them behind the wheel of a real car and had them drive an obstacle course, then I'd be interested in the results.
Well yes, but then you have the new fast Internet with its own security protocols, and they're compromised, de facto, by being attached to the old Internet and its legacy protocols and modes.
...but the biggest hurdle is convincing people not to connect to these shiny new networks until it's all in place, end-to-end. It seems like this would have to be physically secured while it is being put together.
Standing there quietly, being expected to pray with your classmates, is the easiest option. But if you don't agree with the prayer, that can be frustrating. And of course, you could stand up and walk out, enduring everyone's stares and whispers, and guaranteeing your ostracism. Yeah, no pressure.

Because if anyone needs to be rescued from their own malfunctioning body, for the good of mankind, he does.
*ROFL* Who marketed the first beige computer?
...Need More Rage.
A quarter of a million dollars on something as vital to their business model as the continued right to poison our kids?
Clearly they were being stingy with the bribe money. Their successors won't make the same mistake.

I don't like it one bit. This is another law designed to keep the good people afraid, uncertain, and doubtful, while providing us less security.
