    It's more complex than that. There two strategic paths we are taking towards full automated driving. Commercial driving where the only way is to leap from current statr to fully automated driving and consumer driving where the path is gradual transition from driving assistance to driving automation. Both paths are complex and encounter a lot of dramatic setbacks.

    It's more complex than that, it's a pendulum period where attitude swings from being overconfident and fearful that eventually comes to realistic perception of situation on the road as a result of practice a lot of which could be part of driving school curriculum.

    Historically, the concept of "shrinking to the sane size" is a fantasy. Shrinking always has been associated with decline, slow or catastrophic. That's the Darwin's law.

    Africans want to survive, they want to break through, we do not want to survlvive and there are no Joneses ahead of us.

    >No, the stupid part is believing that a news outlet driven by greed cannot be trusted, or that a propaganda site can

    I need an actual quote that says that.

    Nobody "trusts" nothing. People who you think "trust" Breitbart are just brainwashing themselves. It's not "trust", it's ideological alignment.

    From the other hand people who "trust" CNN, _are_ mostly brainwashed liberal imbeciles confused by CNN having a "mainstream" status. Breitbart does not have that, so nobody expects "trust".

    There is nothing stupid in thinking that all news media is driven by greed/catering and/or ideology/propaganda.

    Denying ideology IS ideology.

    Perception is subjective. Its true that there are 50 shades of grey, but in general that's what it is.

    There is science dealing objectively with simple systems, but we already know everything that is possible about these, what is left is irreducible systems like human society, where scientific method is limited. All we have is biased data collection.

    I do not think you understand the point I was saying.

    Let me try from another perspective.

    Bacteria knows how to swim from the "bad" area to the "good" area. You know how? It does not think, it does not measure the gradient, it only know to do one thing: move faster or slower. That's it. When in "bad" area it moves faster, when in "good" area it moves slower. That is enough for bacteria to concentrate in "good" area instead of "bad" area.

    Obama is the stupidest of all bacteria. He did not know how to move faster. He is afraid to move faster because of the politburo that holds him.
