Easy peasy. Add a Halon system for the interior that is activated on a illegal boarding. So when the pirates enter the control areas, Halon dispensed, no one leaves.
Yes the barrier was down from the prior week, but we don't know why. Was there an accident between two cars that ended up in it? Was there another car that caused a car to be forced into it? Was the driver drunk? Was the driver somehow otherwise impaired?
To your point of Tesla's pass by it everyday. I'm not sure how that makes it better. So now we have a case of a clear day, and a version that does the right thing 99.99% of the time fails. Seems to me their algorithm/hardware has serious issues if it fails in a situation in a random manner. It really gets back to a point I have made before. Exactly how much testing goes on before a new version of auto-pilot is sent OTA? Who signs off on it? Are they licensed? Are they culpable?
Or go for a quickie. There was a pilot's program at my school and I knew several peoplein the program to join the mile high club. Autopilot was doing the flying.
The difference is cruise does exactly what is advertised. It maintains speed. Autopilot is advertised to stay in the lane and maintain speed like adaptive cruise does. In this case, it did not do what was advertised and someone died. Tesla is trying to shape public opinion on this because unlike AZ, it was not some homeless person whose family probably settled for peanuts. This is likely to become a 7 or 8 figure payout due to the earnings potential of an apple engineer if it goes to trial.
I know., it was sort of my point. PBS did a story about it and I was pretty surprised it could be in short supply. People were stealing the stuff. I think not all sand though. Some is better than others for beaches, concrete, etc.
but the congessman who asked if Zuck would mind sharing what hotel he was staying made me laugh. Zuck said he would prefer not to. Hilarious. Maybe the congressman should have known and mentioned it in a followup question. Just to see how Zuck reacted to his personal info being shared.
I did, and believe me I paid far far far far... less than others paid for a samsung or apple. Between 1/2 and 1/3. I bought mine because it was a fantastic price for the phone. I was skeptical about the modules, but it came with a free projector and I ended up buying a battery. And it all just works. The battery gives me days of use and I actually like the phone being heavier. If I do want to go lighter I just pop the battery off. I think where they messed up is the optional camera module is not that great. Otherwise, I might have picked up one. Oh, and the phone has that all too uncommon feature of an SD expansion slot.
So I just looked at a Frys receipt from yesterday, paid via chip cc. On the paper receipt is my name and last 4 digits of my cc. Hmm, do you think maybe Frys has my info? Would they have my info if I had paid cash?
And everything about your transaction was tracked. Who bought, what you bought, what time, what location, and now that has been connected with everything else you have bought and where it was bought for your entire life with non-cash. At least with cash, they need to use some form of facial recognition system. Don't believe this info is valuable? Then why did/do so many companies have loyalty cards? I do not look forward to this 1984 everyone is so anxious to achieve.
their employees to work extra hard, I am surprised he missed at all. I was expecting him to fudge it up to 2400 or 2500 for the week ending Q1 by doing whatever (stop X/S production and reassign bodies, hold cars from the prior week,...) and then go back to the 1200/wk. Technically he is not lying then. But we will see as Q2 moves along. Bloomberg is likely going to keep tallying up deliveries. It will be interesting what happens tomorrow on share price.
What? Is V2 worse than V1? One of the things I question about all of these systems is how do they test? I have worked at several SW companies and regressions are standard practice. Usually one quick test for daily builds and one for release. The quick usually runs on a few machines overnight. The release could take weeks on many many machines. So my questions would be.
Before a new version is pushed out is a extensive suite of tests run on a simulator? Before a new version is pushed out, is an extensive suite of tests run on real cars running around a test track that has been setup with obstacles? Are the tests run with various light conditions requiring a 24 hour test. Are the tests run with various conditions (rain, snow, fog etc) Are there tests for pedestrian avoidance? Tests for bicycle in lane, side of lane?
My impression seems to be someone makes a few changes and sends out an update. As an example, how much track testing was done when Uber cut the number of LIDAR sensors on the car that hit the woman in AZ? This whole self drive thing seems way to wild wild west, where a developer goes, hey this would be cool, and adds it to the system. A system that is driving in the real world with real consequences.
I don't think so. PBS did a things years back where they took a group of people and made them "settlers". They gave them a typical amount of money for the general store. Their job was to during the summer create what was necessary to make it thru the winter, by chopping wood, growing corn etc. The findings were not good. Every single family would have froze to death. Some would have made it a couple of months, which was not even close to the resources needed. One creative rich family who was disqualified even snuck out and bought stuff on the outside. They were indignant of course saying that they were just thinking outside the box. Life was significantly harder in the old days. Just look at lifespans.
I've driven non power assisted cars as well. Big difference. They are geared differently. IE lock to lock was 4+ turns of the wheel instead of the now more general 3ish lock to lock. Translation, your power assisted car without power will be harder to turn than your old manual steering car. Further, the S is a porker at 5K pounds roughly. Again, at slow speeds this is gong to make it very hard to turn. So, the recall is necessary, and you should absolutely get it done ASAP.
I see the trolls are out again trying to save the self drive industry. So explain to us again how LIDAR cannot see in the dark?
And I'll say again, Uber got super lucky it was a homeless person. The shlitterbahn guys got arrested when their water slide killed someone, who just happened to be the kid of a senator. This is what should happen here as well. Uber downgraded the LIDAR for cost saving. Wonder if it saved em more than the payout to family?
He does have a philosophy of sorts. Whatever FOX news told him this morning. A glaring example of this was the recent budget. He was all for it until the morning FOX news slammed it. Then he was against it.
The register is reporting Uber cut the number of LIDAR sensors from 5 to 1 on the volvos. They also cut the number of cameras. Worse, it looks like the AZ gubanor was playing footsies with UBER. I just get more and more disgusted by this as more comes out. Much like the water slide thing in TX, someone needs to go to jail.
Exactly this. If I were teaching someone to drive and I needed to intervene every 13 miles to avoid an accident, well, no license for you. 13 miles is like every 1/2 hour in suburban traffic. How can it be that bad and they think it was usable? I do understand, it is coming from the sw industry where generally sw is shipped and the customer does the testing. But hey, they met the schedule and shipped the car out on time.
They should have already been fined. Cal AB1769 makes this punishable by a $50 for the first and increases to 250 by the fourth and subsequent incidents. Sounds like somebody forgot to send a invoice.

Sand comes to mind.

They did not say it would have never existed, only that it would not currently exist. What "thing" besides handle patent cases does Marshall do now?
So it sounds like you fly. Are you a member of the mile high club?

All those safe miles are due to autopilot, all those crashes are user error. Autopilot is perfection.
Just like you cannot always be "happy", you cannot always be entertained. Real life has sadness and boredom.

Has anyone deleted linkedin? I am considering it as I can't seem to find any value in it and they keep updating their TOS, which they just did again.
