Did you know that *right now* you can go get into a vehicle, drive it any direction at high rate of speed and cause as much damage as you want? No technology needed.
You can drive the wrong way on the highway. You can light a car on fire and roll it down a hill. You can put a brick on the accelerator and set it loose into a crowd of people. You can throw nails on the road to stop any vehicle you fancy. You can string up wire across the road for motorcycles.
But we haven't built an AI that can match a trained human.
Unfortunately all of our AIs have ended up being better than humans. They don't drink and drive, they watch the road at all times, they can look forward and back at the same time. I don't see the point in training an AI that can match a 16 year old behind the wheel, I think we can do better.
Like I said above, tell me where your goal posts are so you stop moving them on me. The second a car meets your criteria they'll move to a "But they can't do X".
There are already autonomous vehicle racing circuits. Audi's cars in 2012 were just seconds slower than a race car driver (and probably much better than the average driver) http://newatlas.com/stanford-a...
The road is 'production'. These vehicles have been running around all types of environments since the first DARPA challenge in 2004. In 2010 Audi went up Pikes Peak in one. I've seen multiple Slashdot statements claiming what these cars "can't" do that they've been doing for nearly a decade.
there will never be commercially available self driving cars on the roads.
Less Space than a Nomad, Lame.
It's coming, deal with it.
We aren't even close to the level of technology required to build them
Says who? They're out there, right now. It's in cars, semis, off road trucks, bulldozers, etc. The 2004 DARPA project was 12 years ago and we went from 'never finished the race' to 'multiple people finishing' in 2 years.
And before you move the goalposts again pointing to a rare 1 in a billion scenario they won't work in and claiming you were right, what exactly are you saying will never hit the market?
Years ago we tossed a PID controller into cars so that they could maintain a set speed. Germany has had cars that automatically brake and maintain a following distance for ~5 years now. My wife's 2017 Subaru will maintain its lane all on its own. (And it wouldn't surprise me if most automated driving was just a software upgrade at this point). Self driving cars are just the next iteration of technology that is already on the market.
Everyone that will be buying them. That is no longer the individual consumer. The F150 isn't the best selling truck in America because a bunch of individual owners buy them it's because of fleets.
Uber, Lyft and all of the rental car companies are going to be buying self driving cars by the lot. Younger consumers have shown they don't want to deal with car ownership. They'll still have the 'old models' for those home buyers that insist on it but they're going to put less and less engineering effort into those since they won't be as profitable.
How many will stand for a self driving vehicle that mopes along.
I would buy a self driving car that took twice as long to get somewhere if it meant I could spend that 'twice as long' doing something else. Pour a beer, fire up my IDE and code on the way to grandma's house.
Moderation is something Slashdot got right. Randomly selected and you can't both mod and comment. Plus it's capped at -2:5. Reddit gets a bit too carried away with band wagoning. Which made it hilarious to watch the Briana Wu AMA since their usual tactics didn't work.
How much of a delay was there? I know BBC America lagged behind the BBC's airings. The casual watcher may have waited until the latest episodes came to them 'naturally' but the Top Gear torrents were always quite popular the night they aired.
The court held that although CompuServe did host defamatory content on its forums, CompuServe was merely a distributor, rather than a publisher, of the content. As a distributor, CompuServe could only be held liable for defamation if it knew, or had reason to know, of the defamatory nature of the content.
The court held that "CompuServe has no more editorial control over such a publication than does a public library, book store, or newsstand, and it would be no more feasible for CompuServe to examine every publication it carries for potentially defamatory statements than it would be for any other distributor to do so."
Travel to a country outside of the US. Their companies have managed to not collapse under the weight of parental leave. Perhaps ask them how they do it.
You can support the idea of a union whilst opposing corruption within a union.
I wish that was true here. You should visit 'Murica sometime.
You can't support single payer helathcare without being a dirty communist. You can't hate Monsanto and like GMOs. You can't say anything positive about Trump without being a sexist, racist, or homophobe. You can't support unions while hating the UAW.
For politics you have Democrats or Republicans. So you're either for us or against us.

Personally, I hope he stops their paychecks.
I thought Trump's MO was stopping payment once the work was done, not before.
*no* self-driving cars out there
Other than the ones Uber bought running around Pittsburgh.

And Google just gave up.
Google gives up on everything.
Except that you're required to take over at a seconds notice,
Why? I'm not going to buy a model that I still have to pay attention to.
Come visit parts of the midwest, we leave the Amish well enough alone.

First off, how many actually want this

steering and brakes always have mechanical fail-safes
Not automotive but.
Cat D7E, M series motor graders and a whole host of other products are 100% by wire.

It doesn't matter what they called him. He demonstrated that Reddit Admins/CEOs have editorial control over the content posted on their website.

Normally, yes. However the parent comment said:
it doubles just fine as a desktop for me.
Which means if that statement will work for my use case I have to compare it to a desktop.
I was thinking Slashdot would be the crowd that I wouldn't have to add the sarcasm tag (/s) but it appears a few people took it literally.
Boss: I need you to get some hardware to try out neural net training on $DATASET
0100010001010011: Well. I can buy the Nvidia and get started with Tensorflow or AMD opensourced everything and I have to write the tools myself.
Boss: I need the results by the end of the month, I don't care how you do it.
Woosh.
How well do they run CUDA? From what I've done so far with ML/NNs it's CUDA all the way.
Almost all "How to use GPU for ___" come back with CUDA instructions first and OpenCL is nowhere near as close.
Looking at the tensorflow open tickets it's still very much a work in progress: https://github.com/tensorflow/...
Wasn't Top Gear one of the most pirated shows already? It was only available on the BBC but was popular far beyond that.

You're using a different definition of Model.
