Maybe they are not so secure in their lead because they fear embarrassing information may leak out. Can you imagine how Hilary's poll numbers would plummet if leaks suddenly appeared showing that her husband had been involved in infidelity???
If an autonomous car gets a ticket, who is responsible for paying it? Whose driving record does the offense go on? Obviously the cars being tested actually have passengers, are they programmed to pull over for emergency vehicles and wait patiently to receive tickets, or does the onboard technician have to intervene?
The law says it is the responsibility of the driver in the rear to maintain a safe stopping distance therefore they are at fault UNLESS the car in the front has just changed lanes. As far as merging, there is no such thing as "expected behavior". Here in Oregon, traffic is frequently slowed by people waiting to let other people in front of them, whereas in other areas the protocol is to never signal and cut right in front of people forcing them to hit the brakes. Problems occur when people drive in a area with de facto rules different from what they're used to...
A flaw with ENFORCEMENT of the traffic laws. You know, if they wanted to, they could legally put up speed cameras and mail fines to the registered owner of literally every car exceeding the speed limit, right? They already have the infrastructure in place for tolls - I just got a notice billing my ex's car for using a toll road because the car is still registered in my name.
If they are in the rightmost lane, traffic should be travelling within 10mph of the speed limit. I assume these vehicles are programmed to stay out of the fast lane!
The right approach is to capture 360 degree video of every other car, then sue the owners or insurance and every other car that makes contact for millions in repairs (these self-driving cars are expensive, right?) In other words, don't conform to a lawless society, force a lawless society to conform to the rules! It would also help if they'd flag all these cars with a huge florescent green flag on top with dollar signs all over it, to warn people to pay attention! Other approaches would be electronic countermeasures -- hack the cell phones of everybody in the vicinity and post messages telling them to stop texting and/or shut up and drive!
No, no, no... Rey is Kylo Ren's twin _sister_! They are both the result of an incestuous relationship between Luke and Leia, so the farce is strong in them both!
Actually, it's a trilogy of trilogies, I believe Lucas announced that back in the 70's. The only characters that were supposed to be in all 9 movies were the robots; I forget which Japanese folk story Lucas was stealing from,
I ask somebody who knew 2 weeks ago who Rey and Kylo Ren's parents were, and they told me: "Didn't you know, a preliminary script was leaked a year ago, and somebody posted a plot synopsis!" Apparently the story hasn't changed much since then, so these "spoilers" are old news, some people have known the basic story line for over a year now! And yes, there are already published on the 'net full plot synopsis by people that have already seen the movie. As long as the tell you up front a post contains spoilers, I don't have a problem with it
"The product is free"... that's pretty much Google's business model, isn't it? Nobody seems to have a problem with that. Why shouldn't Linux distros get in on the fun?

It's Democrats... you need bleach, and lots of it!

Hurts, doesn't it?

Artificial intelligence is no match for real human stupidity!

Ungrateful little bastard, isn't he?
Spoiler: It doesn't.
Or leave the personality setting alone, and simply switch the power adapter from a male to a female connector...
And, Dumbledore gets arrested for pedophilia... turns out he likes "mentoring" young wizard boys just a little too much...
Not a penis, exactly... it turns out Princess Leia was using R2D2 as a vibrator... really hard to clean him up afterwards, too!
Leia, you little slut! (Yeah, the slave girl costume should have been a tip-off!)
No, no, no... Rey is Kylo Ren's twin _sister_! They are both the result of an incestuous relationship between Luke and Leia, so the farce is strong in them both!
Technically, after midnight is tomorrow
Dumbledore is gay!

CP30 is gay!
I _know_ who dies at the end, and it makes me very sad, actually. Kylo Ren is apparently the sci-fi equivalent of the Menendez brothers...

Kylo Ren is the bastard child produced by a drunken one night stand between Luke and Leia!
