You really only need to spoof GPS for a brief moment in time; long enough for the guidance to come to the conclusion that it's out of the scheduled flight-path. Then... Goodbye cruel world. I'm not suggesting that the rocket would be hijacked in this case; rather sabotaged.
Again, I'm sure there are work-arounds for this sort of "prank" by now.
* charging station * a car * a car park or garage * a driveway * indeed street parking clogging up the streets * car insurance * car repayments (& depreciation) * car warrants of fitness (hassles & costs) * car registration (hassles & costs) * car maintenance (hassles & costs)
You'll ask your device transport from A to B & when. The device will give a countdown ETA and alert when near/there. You'll jump in the car, browse slashdot in transit, arrive and get out. The car will then head off on its merry way whether to top-up charge/park at what used to be called car-parking-buildings or do the next pickup.
Ideally the cars will be electric so there are obvious environmental (noise, particulate & noxious gas) HUGE wins here especially for the cities. Autonomous vehicles won't need to lead-foot, won't have road-rage, won't need to squeal at lights or indeed be distracted by their devices when the lights do go green as so many people obviously are. The lights indeed might just be for pedestrians and the vehicles would maximise their stop/start cycle to a gentle decelerate/accelerate for passenger comfort, efficiency & noise reduction.
Traffic will flow more efficiently as the cars can huddle more efficiently than "slow" humans can as everyone will know where they're going. Street routes would be balanced to spread the load across the street network. Indeed ride-sharing is an obvious option/extension for a reduced price of course. Streets could be more mall like with the extra "lanes" available that used to be for parking on the curb.
Some sort of feedback for the car quality would be good, a bit like feedback on eBay... Useful if you get in a car and it stinks; you say so. The system may determine that the last person to use the car is always smelly. The system can either send a smelly car for that prior person, let them know that they have a problem (a la feedback) or up their cost so that the car gets "refreshed" after they have used it. The car would have environmental sensors on board anyway and may be able to detect issues.
My wife has epilepsy so autonomous vehicles would make a huge difference. I have better things to do than watch the bumper of the car in front of me for hours a week & I'm sure you do too.
Yep, it may happen after flying cars & nuclear fusion but I live in hope...
* Electric * Autonomous * Shared (ie I don't own it)
vehicles. I like the potential for:
* Quiet roads * Efficient travel (I'm a lead-foot) * No fumes * Shared rides even * Time to browse/.:) * TXT/IM/phone & drive legally * Clear the parked cars of the streets (more lanes, even more efficient) * Garage & driveway space freed up
I'm just a little worried about people tampering with the smarts and picking you off. I know of two incidents where people who were about to "talk" within days/hours seemed to have their high-tech cars go nuts and kill them.
That really is my only concern... (adjusts tin foil hat)...

Will a PowerWall allow fast charging? Is fast charging desirable or destructive? How many PowerWalls are needed to fully charge your 'average' Tesla?
Irrespective, solar us a logical step with an electric car. BUT in one of the possible futures we won't have a car, garage or driveway. Indeed there won't be cars parking out the roads as the cars will be stationed/charged somewhere else and summoned on demand. In that possible future, the PowerWall would still be available for the house and grid so that future works.
Our Prius gen 1 battery died last month at 312,000 km. I'm sure it's just a few dead cells that need replacing (see Youtube), worst case it will end up being a stationary battery. I'd happily buy another Prius but our deposit is down on a Tesla M3; that may never eventuate but we felt it was important to vote on desired tech with our wallet.
Note that Tesla uses Lithium (ion?) vs Prius' Nickle metal hydride so the longevity comparison isn't relevant. Also it's a lot easier to swap out the Tesla battery pack if there is ana issue (I think).
Random thought... how are all these deposits on the Tesla M3's affecting other EV/hybrid sales over the next 2 years? Will the hold off factor that I'm exhibiting be repeated by others? I suspect it will.
Published on Oct 29, 2015 This video shows how I managed to hack Amazon's Dash Button as well as wire up one of Amazon's AWS IoT Buttons with Node.js to order me beer via Drizly. I teamed up with Drizly to get access to their API and will always have my favorite beer available at the press of a button!
Good idea especially for beginners. My first (toy) drone lasted about 2 hours... Learning to fly it in the lounge was interesting but I got ejected outside after shredding the wife's flower arrangement. From there it was up up and blown away... I still haven't found it.
In a gym you will be hard pressed to lose your done and I'd expect the the environment to be stable.
The article is an excellent read, the movie was made ~1997 too.
"The Linux distribution used was Red Hat 4.1. At that time Red Hat was shipping Linux 2.0.18, which didn't support the PC164 mainboard, so the first thing we had to do was upgrade the kernel. During our testing we tracked down a number of problems with devices and kept up with both the 2.0 and 2.1 series of kernels. We ended up sticking with 2.1.42 with a few patches. We also decided on the NCR 810 SCSI card with the BSD-based driver and the SMC 100MB Ethernet card with the de4x5 driver. It turned out to be a very stable configuration, but there was one serious floating-point problem that caused our water-rendering software to die with an unexpected floating-point exception."
My main bitch with online voting was/is vote-buying. This *could* be mostly solved by having it so that you can change your vote right up to closing time. That way, even if you sold your vote and voted in front of the vote-buyer, you could always go and change your vote later. Dispels any significant incentive to even try that rort.
We first need to get an e-voting system in place that is trustworthy (and hence open/auditable).

You missed the fact that there will be 2 extra seats available; ones that come with a view too! :)
A few years after that you hopefully WON'T need:

* car insurance
* car repayments (& depreciation)
* car warrants of fitness (hassles & costs)

Ok, I should order my solar/ PowerWall now then.
Surely if the human-available controls have been inactivated by the computer (even though physically present) that would deem them level-5?

...because they're going to lose a few with the rotors of any half-decent drone...
Leaf blowers just blow the Crap elsewhere and the wind will put it back. Don't have one and don't want one.
That aside there are things that help...
* Electric is way better, both from a maintainence and noise perspective
* Like our physical servers (remember them?) and the latest whisper jets... The larger the fan diameter the quieter the noise.
I know the idea sucks, perhaps the heads wouldn't fly as they need an "air" cushion?
Good idea especially for beginners. My first (toy) drone lasted about 2 hours... Learning to fly it in the lounge was interesting but I got ejected outside after shredding the wife's flower arrangement. From there it was up up and blown away... I still haven't found it.
