If somebody is planning to rob a bank, and you offer to help them, then you are part of a criminal conspiracy. In fact, just failing to report the proposed crime constitutes obstruction of justice.
I can't count the number of accidents I have avoided by making eye contact with another driver, so that I know that he sees me and what I am doing. How the hell will a robocar do that?
One solution may lie in having the robocars stay in constant radio communications with each other. But robocars will still have to deal with faulty human drivers for many decades.
The average car in America experiences 1 crash every 436,000 miles
Under all driving conditions.
Tesla vehicles in Q4 2018 experienced accidents at a rate of 1 accident per 2.87 million miles driven with Autopilot engaged, and one accident every 1.76 million miles without Autopilot.
Then you'll have to wait until we figure out how a biological brain actually 'thinks' because that's what's necessary for this to work
If by "work" you mean "work as well as a good driver in all conditions" then I agree. But there are simpler cases (like freeway driving) that probably don't need anything that sophisticated.
The "out of sight of land" criterion has been a dead concern (#Insert Monty-Python-parrot-sketch.h) since the 1970s. We don't know precisely how they did it, but we've known that they did do it.
With thousands trying the journey every year over thousands of years, some were bound to make it even if 90% failed.
Actually, BC is converting its local planes to electric planes
No, they are planning to do that, just as soon as electric planes are actually feasible. And that won't be until after battery technology improves the power/weight ratio a lot.
they are also going to have no money, ergo no one will be able to purchase from the company.
Do you think Mcdonnell-Douglas or the other armament companies worry about this? How about Gucci, Bentley or Rolex? There's plenty of money to be made protecting and pampering the richest 1% of the world.
But the scientific indications are getting less and less and the scientific indications that there is something else at work are getting more solid all the time.

Is it still conspiracy on your part?
Absolutely.
Presumably there is a difference between being willing to do something and actually doing it.
Yes. Actually doing "something" is a crime if "something" is illegal.
"Being willing to do it" constitutes conspiracy. Different, but still illegal.

Difference:
Bezos and Pichai are rich.
The guy who recorded the police, not.
The animated series "Clone Wars" was pretty good, especially after Darth Maul re-entered the story.
Apple Watches turn up on occasion, and I purchased two. The first one was activation locked.
Shouldn't you have checked that before you bought it?
You are the TimeCuber guy, aren't you?

Only on freeway conditions.
Not comparable.
"Autonomous miles" don't mean crap unless you know where these miles were taken, and under what driving conditions.

Are the Chinese likely to care about our "rules"?
There's also the mystery that we live and move and breathe and die and love and somehow think it's not a mystery.
What? Scientists are pursuing answers to countless mysteries in all of those ideas.
But I wouldn't expect a philosophy student to understand that.
WTF?
What does any of this new age navel-gazing have to do with science?
Actually, BC is converting its local planes to electric planes

If you can make all of these widgets for extremely low costs, no one needs much money to purchase them.
Unless you can't afford anything but the bare needs of survival.

What you are describing is the system that ran
the world for at least 10,000 years, and still does in much of the world today.
It called feudalism.
Do you think the kings and nobles of old worried about who would buy their stuff?
Then use an answering service.
They will not forward any spam calls, but will forward any and all legitimate calls that you specify.
Yes but how much would that cost now?
About tree fiddy.
a uniform open coding language which is a logically derivative of English and maths
That language exists, and has for 60 years.
It's called COBOL.
How do you come to that idea? They don't but salt pots on tables in Japan ...
No, but they do "but" a bottle of soya sauce (very salty) on every table.
And it is heavily used.
Well of course.
How else could it send push ads for nicer drapes and bedsheets
without judging the cheap WalMart crap you have now?

Citation or bullshit.
