The dashboard crap is not relevant to the discussion. Once we have driver-less cars (and I assure you, teens and people 70+ NEED driver-less cars already, so they will come), then the industry will change.
Once that happens, then the industry will entirely change. There will become three basic kinds of vehicles:
1. Recreational vehicles that do not have a computer. Further segregated into speed, off-road, and specialty classes.
2. Cheap. Probably focused on low gas useage, low speed, simple transportation designed to get you to work and the store at a reasonable rate, all while you read, listen to music, or watch videos. Power, speed, appearance will pretty much be ignored here. You want to show off, pick a girl, you get yourself a recreational vehicle.
3. Cargo. People will still need to haul stuff. Minivans/SUV types for parents, trucks for workmen, the main difference will be whether the cargo area is designed for people or for goods, and if for people will it have a minibar stocked with high end liquor, or a Videobar stocked with cartoons.
The idea that the dashboard will become the all important feature only applies to Mommy-mobiles. It will be a relatively small portion of the market.
Assuming light speed communication, the huge distances involved drone-carrier-carrier will probably become the killer ship. Lets call it the Super Carrier.
This combat technique sends drones out to attack. But they will be too far away from the main ship directly communicate soon enough. So you have a slower, hidden super carrier that transports drone carriers most of the way. Say, from Earth to within 20 light seconds of the target (Mars for example). When combat arrives, it launches smaller drone carriers while the super carrier goes dark for the duration of the battle. It never sends any electrical or heat signal, after launching the drone carriers.
The drone carriers will do the final approach, within a couple of light seconds of the target (Earth's moon is 1.5 light seconds away from the earth). Then they launch a bunch of attack drones, which are directly controlled by the drone carriers. Assuming an equal opponent, the drones will attack their opponent's drone carriers. Once all your opponent's drone carriers are taken out, you re-task your remaining drones as scouts looking for your opponent's super-carrier. Unless of course they surrender.
This allows the majority of your military support crew to be a safe distance from the battle until you have won/lost. It minimizes your own losses, while maximizing your opponents.
The government that abused the hell out of Argentina's currency doesn't want to fix it. They are the ones that intentionally abused it in the first place.
Any government that was willing to not abuse the currency could simply STOP ABUSING the currency. They would not need to go cashless.
Going cashless would at best be a meaningless symbol.
That sounds really bad. But we need the percentage of "legitimate" calls made from regular phones to really know if it is bad or not.
If that comparison number is less than 60%, than they have no real argument. But if say 90% of regular phone calls to 911 are legit, then they have a more reasonable argument.
you can't make your own blog, let alone own website
you can't master the concept of an email list to forward all your important news to all your friends
you can't find free games on the internet
you basically need to pay a ton of private personal information that you can never get back, just to participate in the internet - a task that technically literate people can easily do without paying that very high price.
There are several studies that claim un-medicated stents don't improve life expectancy. They only reduce the need for future surgeries on that particular artery.

You are correct that usually complicated recipes are necessary for good stuff.
But you have incorrectly inferred causality. Things are not good because they are complex, nor are they complex because they are good. Nor are they bad because they are simple (or simple because they are bad.
What you are detecting is the lack of recipees that are both complex and bad. Because such a recipee has no redeeming qualities at all.
Currently a human can quite easily have a hip replacement, pacemaker, artificial breasts and a cochlear implant.
Some people are getting magnets installed in their hands - to detect electro magnetic fields and others get an NFCS chip in the hand - to unlock any electronic lock coded to it. Those tend be done in Tattoo parlors.
They can also implant other things. Real life Geordie is here - his name is Neil Harbisson. He was born color blind but has an antenaa installed in his head. It directly connects (physically sticks OUT of his head) to an electronic device which can send color signals to his brain, allowing him to know whether his clothing matches or clashes.
This quote indicates the reviewer does not know what he is talking about: "If your C++ code is not good enough or Java code is painfully slow, it's not because the technology is bad - it's because you haven't learned how to use it right."
You don't give a 3'5" person an unmodified school bus and then say 'it's their fault for not having long enough legs'.
You design FOR the actual people that will use your product, not the mythical perfect user.
If people consistently make a set of mistakes, then a better designed product will prevent or at least warn/push them away from that mistake. Anytime there is a 'typical newbie error', that means that your product is bad - or at the very least should come with better free training. Minimal training required is one of the key functions of any product.
If I give you a frozen dinner, that if properly prepared, is the most delicious thing in the world - wouldn't a version where 'properly prepared' means "Open package and wait 30 seconds for it to warm" be a lot more valuable than "Open package, season to taste, poor into sauce pan, heat until it you smell the cinnamon begin to burn, transfer to microwave, cook 5 minutes at 1000 watts, return to freezer and let sit for 2 minutes, before slicing and serving on individual plates"?
"Open package and wait 30 second" is clearly the far superior product.
Similarly, a variant of C++ that stops common errors is better than one that lets you do things that no one ever wants.
The secret to much of modern technology is paint. We take materials and cover them with other materials to get the best properties of each, creating micro layers.
I am absolutely positive that they will paint the magnesium foam with non-flammable, water proof substances to keep both water and flame away from the core.
Two or three layers of protective coatings, and the only way the foam touches water or fire is if it is penetrated by a weapon that would sink the boat no matter what it was made of.
At the very least, it could be used on internal structure points, if not the hull itself.
You are correct, I do use the non-driver side back seat window. But the driver side back seat window is totally blocked by my head rest and not viewable.
They listed every accident the vehicles were in. They were there to demonstrate that the cars had been in service long enough that if the cars were as bad as driving as a human was, they would have been in multiple accidents.
You did however bring up a very significant issue - were the humans driving the vehicles during the 'dangerous' times, destroying the validity of the comparison.
I overheard a conversation recently. There were a girl upset that a guys at a party totally missed the fact that she wanted to be asked out. She flirted shamelessly, but the guy ignored her and instead asked out her friend - who promptly turned him down.
They then both called the guy "an idiot".
They missed the fact that SHE could have asked him out. It's the 21st century, not the 18th century.
The reason guys spend all their time playing video games instead of out is that the video games are better than real life. Women expect men to be the 50's guy - bring flowers, etc. But they don't want to be the 50's girl.
The crisis in Masculinity is concurrent with a crisis of femininity. They feed off each other like a viscous cycle. As long our culture continues to complain about men not acting like it thinks men should act - all the while encouraging women to do what they want, we will have no progress on this issue.
Please note, I am not saying that women should act like a 50's girl. They are free to act like a modern woman. But don't complain about what men do and ignore what women do. (In fact, I think women should act like a modern women - and includes asking men out and buying them dinner for a first date. You want equality, you have to actually act equal, not insist on special treatment).
You missed a rather significant point in the article. Two of those accidents happened when a human WAS in control of the car (which was how they know it wasn't the car's fault), so NO, a human would not have done better at avoidance.
The fact that of the 4 accidents that happened, none of them were the car's fault is more significant than the 10% rat.
When any specific humans has 4 accident driving cars, on average exactly 50% of them were caused by that specific human. If I drove long enough to have 4 accidents and none of them were my fault that would be significant evidence that I am a far superior driver than the average human
If you read the article, you would have realized that at least two of the accidents occurred when a human was driving the car, which is why we know the autonomous was not at fault.
If you are using another definition of the word wave (such as that used by physics to refer to light, sound, etc.) when talking about water, you really should specify what you mean.
You steal $1000 dollars and the police look for you.
You steal $100,000 and the FBI looks for you.
You steal $10,000,000 and the banks hire you.
You steal $1,000,000,000 and the lawyers get you off on a technicality.
He thinks the UN can run a conspiracy? HA HA HA HA HA. These are the people that can't get anything done, who put major human right criminals on the human rights committee.
If the President tried to set up something like that, Congress would refuse to fund it, Russia would Veto it, and the French would be against it just because the US was for it.
But even assuming it was possible for the UN to run a conspiracy, his own statements contradict him. Errors do not equal "Conspiracies", they equal incompetence. Conspiracies would involve intentionally falsified data - such as his personal statement that the UN is running a conspiracy.

Guy gets lucky and wins the lottery!
But this not the story - not literally or figuratively.
Instead real life works like this:
Guy gets lucky and wins the lottery and ....
1) loses it all within 5 years because he has now idea how to deal with his luck.
2) works his ass off to turn his momentary luck into something long lasting.
Musk, like Gates, Jobs, etc. etc. all got lucky and had to work their asses off to take a bit of luck and turn it into a thriving huge success.
But that hard work they did doesn't mean their success did not depend on their luck as much as it did on their work.
It is legal to teach people how to cheat at cards - they are called 'magic' lessons.
But illegal to teach people how to defeat a machine that is not allowable in a court of law?
Does anyone know of any other skill that it is illegal to teach? Anything?

I counted corrosion coating as paint. Basically I meant any kind of thin layer put on top of the main structure.

You are correct, I do use the non-driver side back seat window. But the driver side back seat window is totally blocked by my head rest and not viewable.
I check the mirrors and glance out the driver's side window directly. The back of my headrest completely blocks the view of the left back seat window.
But we still have them there.
Conclusion: cars will continue to have windows.
Real question - will the cameras in a driver-less car store their images and will those images be retrievable
You name a disease for a creature and it's open season on that creature - and the destroys any business that uses them.
These things happen even if the location/creature is only tangentially related to the disease.
But there is no reason not to name a disease after the first patient/doctor that gets/discovers it.
Worst case scenario, they have to change their name.
