Just a couple of seconds before the collision the AI releases control of the vehicle back to the human and wakes up Leroy because he ain't never seen no accident like this one.:)
Seriously, this looks like the perfect way for the AI to not be held responsible for any accidents. What are they going to think of when there is no option (no steering wheel, pedals, etc.) for a human to take control?
Some people have personal responsibility and some do not. There's no way to force a person to be responsible, but ending an innocent human life to shirk responsibility is barbaric. Surely we're better than that if we want to call ourselves civilized.
If impregnating as many women as you can without being willing to support your own offspring is your idea of being a man, maybe you should rethink what being a man is. The women in your life would be happier if you did.
Playing Tetris doesn't cause PTSD, but playing it does make me want to kill somebody. Heck, even watching somebody else play it makes me want to kill them.
One of the main causes of traffic jams, at least in heavy traffic on interstates and major four-lanes, is somebody simply touching his brakes. Then the car behind him, not knowing how hard the car ahead is braking, has to hit his brakes. The reaction continues back with each car having to brake a little bit harder until traffic just a dozen cars back traffic comes to a complete stop. I've seen it hundreds of times. Your solution helps, but it really helps if nearly everybody does it.
Just never touch your brakes without a damned good reason. Turn off the cruise control with the button, not by tapping your brake. Don't ride your brake to control your speed.
It helps a lot if you know where you're going. I've seen traffic jams started by people who have no idea which lane they should be in and no idea where their next turn is.
If we're going to move it, why not put it in orbit around the Moon? It's closer, so moving it to the Moon would take far less fuel than moving it to Mars, and it would make research and building bases on the Moon more likely.
You wouldn't have to land on the Moon with the same ship you left Earth in. You'd transfer to the station and take a dedicated lunar lander to go down to the surface. The station could grow to an enormous size, kinda like in "2001 A Space Odyssey" except with the station in lunar orbit instead of Earth orbit.
I think we're worried about the crap creeping in and eventually taking over, the same way it did with regular television. Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile. Regular television started with just a few crappy reality shows. Now it's totally infected with them. I hope NetFlix doesn't go down the same road.
The problem is we have so many who don't want to work, and they won't work as long as we continue to support them. The system you advocate just makes it worse. Now, if everybody was willing to work and do their part, it might have a chance of working. I still doubt it, though.
And before you get too excited about democracy, remember that you may not like what the majority decides.
There's no way our company would ever risk the information we have getting out where it's possible to be hacked, or worse yet, sold by this "paper-digitizing" company. We don't know who they are and what they'll do with the copies they keep, and you just know they'll keep copies.
Back about 10 years ago one of my doctors suggested that I drink a glass of wine every evening after dinner. I tried and tried, but I couldn't stand it. I tried red wine, white wine, cheap wine, and expensive wine. None of it was tasty enough to make me want to drink it every day. I'd rather have a glass of cold water.
Now, I have gout and there's no way I can drink any alcoholic beverage. Alcohol goes to the liver and burns through ATP like it was kindling, and the result is more uric acid in the bloodstream (look it up). A glass of wine or beer each night and I'd have a gout flare up like you've never seen.
Don't blame this boomer for their problems. My children are doing just fine -- good-paying jobs, nice houses, and new cars. Of course, they chose career paths and degrees that would result in good jobs, not some worthless degree that would lead nowhere.
My son posts here on a regular basis. He can tell you the same thing.
1. I keep cable for sports. Yeah, some ESPN streams, but there are far more sports channels available on cable than you can get streaming. 2. My internet service comes in on the same cable and it averages 66 Mbps.
I also watch a LOT of movies - old movies, newer movies, bad movies, good movies. If I watched that many movies at the local theater, I'd spend way more than cable costs, and the bathroom is cleaner and closer. The snacks are cheaper, too.
I'm an Amazon Prime customer so I get their streaming service by default, but I pay the yearly fee for the shipping benefits. I rarely watch anything from Amazon.
I have the voice on my GPS turned off. I already know my way around, or at least have a mental image of where I'm at and where I'm going. Leaving the voice off makes me look at the signs and compare them to the map. I do like the ETA feature when I'm going to or coming back from work. Understand that my work could be anywhere in half dozen states and hundreds of cities and towns.
Don't let the device lead you; instead think of it as a digital map. Keep north at the top of the screen. Learn the way streets are laid out. Avenues and streets east-west or north-south? Different cities do it differently. Roads and highways are numbered -- north-south are odd numbers and east-west are even numbers. And never forget that the sun rises in the east.:)
I've spent my whole career (40+ years) going to places I had never been to before. Back in the days before GPS all I needed to learn about a city was a paper map and a phone book. Paper maps were generally free from the local chamber of commerce - all you had to do was ask. I've never been lost driving. Been turned around and bewildered a couple of times backpacking, though.
I think he will be okay. He's a tough old guy who has lived for decades with a disease that would have killed a lesser person. I hope he enjoys every minute he has left before he leaves us for good.
You haven't been paying attention, have you? Nobody wants their serious work (work that makes money for them) interrupted by an operating system updating itself whenever it damn well pleases.
It's just more blatant political correctness, trying to right wrongs that are only in their heads. If they're that concerned about it, just do away with flat maps of the world and replace them with globes. Then nobody can argue one way or the other.
I have been traveling on the job for 41 years and have stayed in hundreds of motel rooms. Those paintings and bedspreads and carpet are nearly all the same, at least in rooms within the same chain. A room at Days Inn will be just about like any other room anywhere at a Days Inn. It's the GPS coordinates that will help the cops.
I object to the use of the word "campus". If "information technology" is called an industry, then Google's place of business would correctly be called an industrial complex.

What can you expect from a state settled by criminals? It's hard to find now in the history books, but Georgia was a penal colony early on.

I'm guessing they will be lucky to sell more than a few dozen . . . . . but then I always underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

Probably true, but here's a more optimistic outlook.

Your post makes me wonder if IQ scores can be below zero, but it made me smile anyway.

I'm 64 - all my cells are old. :)
It might be like suicide for me.

What happens after a visit to your dentist when the whole bottom half of your face is numb?
You're full to the max with hate. Trump doesn't give a damn about what you or the rest of the world thinks. He's there and you're not. Get over it.
