And you still haven't told me who you want to car to purposefully kill in the event of an unavoidable accident.
Nobody. If the car just hits the brakes when there it senses an obstacle ahead, then nobody can sue the manufacturer since that will always be a legally acceptable choice.
There will be situations where the autonomy must deliberately kill people.
Like what?
Robocars only need one rule: if there is an obstacle ahead (any obstacle) and there isn't time to safely drive around it, then hit the brakes and hope for the best.
I suppose if you were wearing a radiator on your head that funnelled the IR straight up, that might make you a tad less visible. Of course, that wouldn't work if you were short.
in order to get on a generational ship you would have to give up all your friends, family, comfort, safety, etc.... I don't see most people being willing to do this
Explorers have always been willing to drop everything to find something new. Or better, travel in some sort of hibernation so the transit time is imperceptible.
Do brick & mortar vendors near state lines need to start checking IDs so they can charge the right sales tax to each customer based on their home address? That's where they are "delivering" the items to, right?
Wrong.
The store is "delivering" the item to the person who bought it and carried it away from the store, which is, of course, in the store's location.
How about we blame the woman who jay-walked out into the middle of a dimly-lit street at 10 PM?
Because it wasn't dimly lit.
That's an incorrect impression given by the malfunctioning dash cam. Every person who has photographed that stretch of road late at night (with an ordinary cellphone camera) showed a very brightly lit and open piece of highway.
UBER is entirely responsible for properly vetting and training their test drivers, and they didn't.
This whole idea of having ordinary drivers alpha-test various "levels" of autonomy is total crap.
"Level 5" should be called "Autonomy" and everything below that "Not Autonomy". Cars that are above "level 1" but below "level 5" should be tested only on test tracks by qualified test drivers.
Well then, fetzdy gth-gqh gqnxsy to you! Dictionaries have always been used in a prescriptive manner. The fact is that defending bad English has become fashionable among academics, and nobody else cares.
In general, a person who has completed a degree is going to have a leg up on the person who doesn't.
"In general"? Only because the people who study career-oriented programs are much better off and thus raise the average. People with arts&humanities degrees only benefit if they go on to study education, counselling, law, business etc.
You are directly helping Nigerian locals, who know best where to spend their money.
Yeah, buying guns and hiring thugs. These are organized crime figures that push these scams, and any money they get will be blown on drugs or used to prop up their power.
Can't believe that there are still people who fall for the "trickle down" bullshit.
In fact, the test they gave the bees had nothing to do with recognizing quantities. What the testers were demonstrating was that more whitespace on the display -> more goodies.
A display with 2 objects shows more whitespace than 3 objects, a display with 1 object shows more whitespace than 2 objects, and a display with 0 objects shows more whitespace than one with 1 object.

How the hell is a couple pounds of flying plastic going to pose a threat to an AIRCRAFT?
By flying into the propeller of course.
Propellers spin at very high speeds and are quite fragile.

Yeah! And we're going to get those fucking aliens to pay for it!
Our NEAREST star is over four light years away.
No, our nearest star is 150 million kilometers, or 10e-5 light years away.
But there are physics barriers to visiting far away stars.
Only if by "far away" you mean "in a galaxy far far away".

To me, this is no different than highly automated systems such as trains that still require humans to monitor them.
Yes, highly trained and evaluated humans, not some minimum-wage kid who has no understanding of the system.
There's "not being attentive" and then there's "not being there mentally at all". This is the latter.
The why put a fucking television in a AD test car?

Notice that they were founded in 1887.
Was Barnum&Bailey their main customer back then?
This is already happening to people in STEM, who have largely ignored philosophy, and evidently cannot think rightly.
Why would anybody pay attention to people whose primary argument is
"I'm right because I define myself as right"? That's all philosophy is.
Then one side would denounce the machine as a "communist" while the other side would denounce it as a "fascist".
Everyone would agree with one side while dismissing the other.

Says who? The IBM shills who are promoting it?
We've done that and the result is always the same: the laissez-faire island does really well,
Supply proof or STFU.
Right now they haven't invented an AI that can actually fucking understand spoken English.
The same is true for many call-center employees.

That's funny, especially considering that the paragraph you quote supports the idea that SPE was fraudulent.
