Or maybe they have laws that once you hire someone you're stuck with them for years. Hence nobody hires unless they know the person is already skilled.
Plot complications...the writers needed a way to tie up all the lose ends in the last 10 minutes of each episode. Take the 'tie it up' crap out of the ST universe and it makes slightly more sense.
Highway travel is about 1/4 the risk of average travel. So the comparable stat for 'auto mode' driving would be about 1 death in 400 million miles for the USA.
I own one of the first cars to be equipped with cruise control. A 1960 Saratoga.
It's cruise control works by pushing up on the gas pedal. Limiting your speed. You have to push down on the gas pedal, the cruise control just pushes back.
It took years for the conservative engineers of the day to build the confidence to allow the cruise control to apply throttle.
We have plenty of 'non-drivers' in the USA as well.
Unfortunately most of them are at the wheel of a car. Used to be they loved Volvo DLs. Now they love Priuses. Best bet is put them deep in the rearview as fast as possible.
If you can't drive a stick shift, the odds are good you are a 'non-driver'.
This was a software issue. The camera 'saw' the truck, but the edges didn't have high enough contrast.
Fundamentally though, this was an autopilot induced crash. If the driver had continued to pay attention, he could have avoided it. Airplanes had the same problem, driver assists are dangerous if they allow the driver to feel safe when not focused on driving.

What's the average pay for American engineers in fantasy land?
40 years is fast for going from Fascism to Capitalism. Good on spain. They just have to make sure they don't backslide back to socialism.
Work 50-60 hours/week in Spain? Who?

How is that a problem?
Labor markets are working...cheer!
Now Spain will raise pay for skilled labor and some will come back, again, how is this a problem?
Every nation has a group of workers who will never be much good at anything more complicated than slopping paint on walls.
About 25%.
Denial isn't going to do anything for them. They just need jobs digging ditches.
Star wars would have been better if it was a court drama? A western? A soap opera?
I'm not defending Star Wars, but Trek was no more Science fiction then Wars. There were maybe 2 episodes of Trek that qualify as Science Fiction.
Aren't stormtroopers clones in the later versions of the mythos? Not sure, I don't think I stayed awake through any but the first 3.

No. One is space opera and the other is fantasy. Neither is science fiction.
It was the redcoats that made war on women and children. Which they can't really be blamed for, it was how they were trained.
Look at the tiny V8. It's cute...
Proven my ass.
Highway driving is about 1/4 as dangerous as average driving. The number they are shooting for is 1 in 400 million miles.
Also is it 130 million on AP? I saw elsewhere that 130 million is total Tesla miles and AP is 50 million.
The Lidar system on Google's automatic cars costs well over $50,000. It's a deal breaker for now.
About 1 in 400 million miles. Based on highway driving being about 1/4 as dangerous as the average.
Depends on how fast the Tesla was going. If he had the CC set at 90 he was completely at fault.
Highway travel is about 1/4 the risk of average travel. So the comparable stat for 'auto mode' driving would be about 1 death in 400 million miles for the USA.
Divided highways are the safest driving mode. About 1/4 the death stats of the average. So about 1 death per 400 million miles.
A civic should be able to go 50mph in 2nd gear. So you should be able to get the CC to engage in 1st.

30+ years ago in college: South African exchange student talking with a female black leftist wearing a 'SWAPO' t shirt:
'I was in the bush 8 weeks ago. I killed dozens, just like you...'
I laughed.

Regular lens glass isn't great for IR.
Many of the best IR lens materials can't stand humidity.

That's a manager that knows how to motivate geeks.
Alpha...DEC Alpha.
Wasn't DEC dead and gone and the Alpha team working for Intel by this time?
There was a day I would have walked through fire for an Alpha workstation. What was the highest it ever clocked?
