Some bizarre protuberance jutted forth from the back of the toilet and sprayed water all over the room.
The one we have won't spray unless it detects that someone is sitting on the seat. And it is the best invention ever: no TP, just a gentle spray with warm water.
there is still a regulation step where we will need to develop standardized tests to validate the vehicles meet minimum standards
It's called "getting a drivers license". As soon as a robocar exists that can pass a standard driving test, in every state and province, night or day in every kind of weather, then I will believer that truly autonomous driving (i.e. nobody in the vehicle) is truly at hand.
Its almost as if America is 50 different nation states that formed a union to work together, but the people and cultures of those different nation states are not identical. Or to explain it in even more simple terms, think of a sports league, like basketball. Teams progress through the season and playoffs by winning individual games. You don't come to the end of the season and say "well, the Lakers won 47 games, and the Cavaliers won 57 games, but the Lakers should proceed to the playoffs instead of the Cavaliers because the Lakers averaged over 100 points a game while the Cavaliers only averaged 90 points a game".
Not bad, but would have been better if it involved cars.
The electoral collage was a deliberate workaround that was needed to secure the participation of the slave holding states by making sure that they would wield influence disproportionate to their population.
which looks these days as it may actually be impossible in this universe if you want something at least as smart as a human moron
The progress has indeed been hyped, but that does not suggest in any way that it is impossible. Machine intelligence will progress in the future, sometimes quickly but mostly slow. Nobody has a clue as to how far it will go.
I could hypothesize that it's actually a unicorn attractor
How about a magnet attractor? When an electromagnet picks up a chunk of steel, there is acceleration but no loss of mass. Maybe the EM drive is interacting with the earth's magnetic field in some way, like an elaborate compass needle

A Chevy Bolt costs less than half of a Mercedes or BMW.
The other 10% can rent a car or drive a truck, which will always be available for those who truly need one.
You've basically spent the entire thread ranting that 95% use-case coverage is good enough for individuals.
It is good enough for 95% of individuals. The rest can rent an ICE car when they need to go on long trips.
Over 80% of Americans live in urban areas.
And the rest voted for Trump!
Expecting Americans to buy EV's is like expecting them to be intelligent.
Ain't gonna happen.
"Road legal aircraft" are just prop planes that you can also use to drive to the airstrip.
Why the fuck you would want to is unknown.
If you can afford a private plane then you can easily afford a Mercedes.
Which would you rather drive on the highway?
Attending a court with slave jesters as entertainment gets boring pretty soon
Then the rich will do what they always do when they are bored: start a war.
And also, why are you insulting our president?
He won't be the president until next week.
And even then, he will still be a worthless piece of shit .
Even if you don't present on a silver CD, your music will survive 10 times longer as on a cassette tape.
FTFY.
Your claims are total bullshit.
I'm not afraid. I have Old Glory insurance against robot attacks.
robots moving around urban environments
Yes, "urban environments" carefully designed to show what the cars can do, not want they can't do.

How long can you drive 36 hours straight with 2 hour naps in between?
Uh, by having more than one driver?
The expected lifetime of the battery pack is 10 years.
Where the hell did you get that from?
All that radiation gave the workers the ability to run really fast.
Amazon has the BLU Dash JR for $28.

You sound demented.
No need!
There's no such thing as asteroids.
China just made them up to make us waste our money.
It's also a damn small sample space to produce any real conclusions.
Typical "social science" horseshit.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
