If robot car makers want to test in public roads, they should bear the burden of proving that any accident would also have occurred if a human was at the wheel. This means, if a robot car slams on the brakes because it is a robot, they should take ten humans and put them in the same situation and see how many slam on the brakes just as suddenly. If no one slams on the brakes, then the autonomous car company should be responsible. In the end it will be good for everyone, because robot cars are never going to be successful if they can't integrate with humans anyway.
Every autonomous vehicles on any Turnpike Road or public Highway shall be Manner of
worked according to the following Rules and Regulations:
Firstly, at least Three Persons shall be employed to drive or
conduct such vehicle.
Secondly, one of such Persons, while any Locomotive is in
Motion, shall precede such Locomotive on Foot by not less
than Sixty Yards, and shall carry a Red Flag constantly
displayed, and shall warn the Riders and Drivers of Horses
of the Approach of such Locomotives, and shall signal the
Driver thereof when it shall be necessary to stop, and shall
assist Horses, and Carriages drawn by Horses, passing the

Hybrid smartwatch, with a small display for notifications (charged once a week) and two mechanical hands (supplied from a separate battery, lasting 5 years) is something that makes sense. No, I do not need hands to move away from the display area when I am reading it, thank you very much.
I can switch lanes 5 times in heavy traffic (with my blinker) going the speed limit (everyone else going 5 under) and squeeze into (legal sized gaps) spaces.
I'm surprised, but not really surprised, that modern commercial shipping doesn't have reliable backup systems - that's what the article seems to imply. I mean, how does a commercial sea-going ship's captain get certified without knowing some basic navigation skills - dead-reckoning, anyone?

Réaumur and Rømer are better.
Until Microsoft TERMINATES the Internet too, of course.
I remember having to terminate my internet. 10BASE2. Now get off my lawn!
Perhaps if we dump all the old magnets from scrap IT equipment at the North pole we finally solve this problem.
Help fight magnetic pole drift! Donate your headphones today.
We are producing too many rare earth magnets. Please think of the children!

Firstly it's a PIN, not a PIN number.
Wrong. It's a Personal PIN Number.
Yes, they are.

But you already are leaving.
I'd like to get to the point where I do not need any keyboard nor display, but the watch has the direct brain interface. Or maybe not...

GPU has access to the CPU memory via PCI Express.
The branch prediction trains on other people's threads: that is like your satnav giving you directions based on other cars movements.
Well, it does, e.g. when it directs you around the traffic jam.
Not counting auto* script clusterf*ck ;-)
Are you complaining about the auto keyword or is "auto script clusterf*ck" some sort of distributed brainfuck?
automake and friends, I suppose.
Or plutonium, which can be even denser.

You want to live in a world where self driving vehicles run people over because they were crossing the street illegally?
You want to live in a world when trains run over people because they are crossing the tracks illegally? You already do.

One incompetent programmer who overwrites memory in random places does not ruin the entire program. I think this is the main reason.

Last time I tested, valgrind did not work.
