Let's say a truck is driving at 60 MPH (88 feet per second) when somebody jumps in front of it, 88 feet away.
If the speed limit on this road is 60 MPH, it most likely means that it is clear of stores, schools, etc., IOW this is not a standard city street. Braking is not the only option here, especially with a self driving truck. The truck could be programmed to safely sacrifice itself (running off the road into a field, river, etc.) to protect the humans around it.
It remains to be seen if this type of behavior from the automation will be mandated.
In a series of party line votes, the House Science Committee has approved a number of changes to the laws that govern the private commercial space industry. Almost all of the changes were advocated by the [government], so in general they move to [improve] the regulatory and liability [common sense] that has been [enabling] the industry since the 2004 revisions to space law. While it is very unlikely commercial space can ever get [more] of [awesome] federal regulation, these changes indicate that they can eventually get some of the [most awesomest] regulations [strengthened].
Nothing resolved itself. People took action, and you fucking idiot don't even bother to figure out that someone else saved your sorry ass.
Just like Y2K, It's the same shit over and over again: society expends resources to head off disaster, because of said expenditures disaster is averted, fucking morons baffled because disaster that everyone was talking about didn't happen.
Fucking morons believe disaster scenario was made up to expend resources.
I got my wife a Roomba vacuum robot 6 or 7 years ago. She admitted to me that at first she thought it was a waste of money. But after using it for a day or two, she changed her mind completely.
You do realize that this particular Roomba comes with a well concealed dildo option, right?
It's been called a WORKSHOP or some close equivalent in various languages for something like 2000 years now! Why the heck do we need to make up a stupid name for it?
We need to save something for the riff-raff. I vote we start calling them "3D Print-shops".
3D Print-shop: like silk-screening T-shirts, only in 3D!
To point out someone's hypocrisy doesn't mean that you have to agree with their ideology.
Right. But to point out someone's hypocrisy should mean that you are not a hypocrite on the very same subject in the very same way yourself. It's just weird.
Why is it that your reaction, SuperKendall, is knee jerk "it must be okay"? Was it the "forest" part of the article?
Hmm. Forest? Forest == Tree. Tree == Tree hugger. Tree hugger == hippie. Hippie == those fucking fucks I'm supposed to hate.
Fucking libtards.
The losses of forests must be due to some natural variation in the solar cycles and phases of the moon, i.e., it is good for humanity and good for the Free Market.
We can expect the Earth to exist for another 9.5 million years!
Oh of this there is no question, but the tricked-out primates who inhabit the face of said planet and who are always flinging their tricked-out shit around may face a different story.
I don't fucking get it: you believe that global warming is happening, yet you reject the theory that scientists have put forth to explain the phenomenon. A theory well grounded in science, that makes predictions that we see coming true every day, and that the vast majority of experts actually working in the field subscribe to. A phenomenon for which no other plausible (at this juncture) theory has been put forth.
Do you ever feel the need to examine why you so strongly want to disbelieve the theory?

It's only a matter of time now before 'Drugs' throws up the white flag.

I also, can write a really [unbiased] summary.
Fucking dot slash.
you are the equivalent of a drunk in a bar questioning Einstein.
I think this is the single best quote I have ever heard regarding climate change "skeptics". Thanks for that.
I am not sure what is 'newsworthy' about this.
Right!? Like OMG, this is so boring and stuff.
What's up with the Kardashians?
Right?! I just don't understand why Moldova won't embrace the job creators like we do in the US. This man is a hero of capitalism.
Meh
Just another arbitrary number
Funny, that's the exact same thing your mom said.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I think this verdict sends a great message: do not steal from the leaches of society that have enough money to get other leaches elected.
Maybe the cyber ones will have heaters.

Also, alchemy. Don't forget alchemy.
Why would God do such a thing to such innocent people?
Santa Claus also allowed this to happen. What does this say about Santa Claus?
Just accept that there is a reason for everything, and He has a plan.
His reasoning sucks and he is a horrible planner. I wonder if he has an MBA.
You may not give a shit about your 4th amendment rights, but other people do.
Dogs don't, and that's who the police need to get permission from to violate that right.
Anyone want a bet this will just help to justify raising our taxes to make all cops K9 units?
And to think, you're the successful product of 3.5 billion years of evolution. I guess this is proof that not every branch or individual is viable.

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to a bunch of shaved apes.
What if it is, but because we are a bunch of shaved apes we do not understand this?

This isn't a prank. This is attempted murder by cop.
Only in America.
