My father-in-law was super careful with money and deeply suspicious of scammers until he got Alzheimers. Then he started freely giving money away to scammers without them even trying to fool him. All they had to do was ask for money and he would send it.
Finally my wife (his daughter) got power of attorney and stopped it after many thousands of dollars were gone.
All humans have the same facilities and are technically capable of the same intelligence
Therefore, there is no such thing as a retarded (or "mentally handicapped") child? If you had ever worked with any of them, you would know how silly that is.
People vary tremendously in their natural talents, but trying to characterize those talents in a single number is impossible.
There will always be self-driven commercial vehicles, driven on private property (farms, mines, construction sites, etc.) That's a totally different market from normal day-to-day driving.
Indeed, there already is an establish standard for driving competence called "getting a driver's license", and no existing system has ever tried such a thing, let alone succeeded.
As soon as a robcar exists that can pass a standard driver's license test in every state and province, in all kinds of weather, then I will believe that automated driving is coming soon.
However, that doesn't mean it won't happen in a few decades.
and it is not full of the previous night's user's drunken vomit and condom.
All vehicles will be inspected automatically when they fill up/charge up. If someone did abuse the vehicle, they would be charged for the cleanup and banned until they pay up.
I don't agree. I think the only choice is to hit the brakes as hard and as quickly as possible. And no judge would side against the maker of an autonomous car that did that.
The difference between an "assault rifle" and a regular rifle is cosmetic
No, the difference is that with an assault rifle like the AR-15, the shooter can kill a hundred people in 5 minutes, while someone with a regular rifle could only kill a dozen.
That would give police a much better chance at minimizing the carnage.
Use a random generator to create a 12-character sequence, then rote memorize it. And keep a copy in your wallet in the middle of a much longer (e.g. 100 character) sequence. Your brain's pattern recognition machinery will immediately recognize the correct sequence, but nobody else will.
"I'm at my desk at work now." It's easy to type, easy to remember and will not be easy to break.
I just broke it. If you can easily think of it, then anybody else can. Only sequences of randomly-chosen characters can have high entropy, and if you can easily remember it then it can't be random.

What if I consider this a matter of civil disobedience?
Then you're an idiot.
VW commited fraud by selling cars that were not anything close to what was advertised.

The first company to make this happen will replace Uber before they know what hit them.
Except that Uber is one of the companies most actively researching auto-driving vehicles.
Anything that comes from the Business Software Alliance can be assumed to be shite.

Only a very small part of IQ, if any, seems to be heritable,
And where the hell do you get that from?

Or I'm just evil
No, just fucking stupid.
virtually unlimited funding
Like that emanating from the Koch brothers?
That's because your mom just walked by.

But it's a pathetic first attempt.
FTFY.
And it positively won't stop until you are dead!
Big ones use gas powered generators, and can run for months.
WTF?
If the masses are poor, the factories will grind to a halt and the rich will see their profits tumble. They depend on the masses after all.
There's plenty of money to be made by rich people making luxury items for other rich people - see Bentley, Ferrari, Gucci, Rolex. ...
What a hero.
He is indeed a hero.
As distinct from a cowardly little snot like you.

For example,suppose the random generator spat out
Then print out and save
Whenever you look at this, the correct sequence "uiTb8fqlPhkX" will appear obvious to you, but to no one else.

I can't believe that so many people fell for that crap.
The calculation that Munroe used to calculate the entropy of "correcthorsebatterystaple"
only applies to a series of random characters.
And of course, if the sequence is memorable, then by definition it can't be random.
Being seen as useless doesn't have to impede someone's self esteem.
FTFY.
