You think that a major corporation with thousands of devices in close proximity is going to be able to reliably count on the local cellular carrier to provide enough reliable bandwidth to meet their needs?
Didn't someone try this before and fail? They built a bunch of receivers and hooked them up to the internet so that folks could tune in to television broadcasts they normally could not receive. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled against them.
Of course it is. You want to know where all the crashed google cars are? They're in the same place a file goes when you empty your computer's recycle bin.
And tell me how you would code that? Tell me how a coder that may or may not have experienced a blowout would approach that problem ?

Simulations, evolutionary algorithms, and the like. The beauty of software control is that software can have the experience of thousands of blow-out variations. Blowout of the front, right tire. Blowout of the front, left tire. Blowout of the rear, right tire. Blowout on dry pavement. Blowout on wet pavement. Blowout on gravel. Blowout on ice. Blowout on a flat road. Blowout on a hill. Blowout of the front, right tire on a winding mountain road in the dark on a stormy night. Blowout of the left rear tire on slush covered pavement while towing a trailer. Variation upon variation can all be gamed out in simulations before the code ever takes a real car out on the road.
It's not just twice a year for daylight savings. My bedside clock is a pain because it's always out a couple of minutes. I don't know why. I set it to the correct time and within a couple of weeks it's a minute behind. By the time it's time to change the clocks it's about three minutes slow.
Obviously your clock is in a chronometric pocket where time runs a little more slowly.
If I were eligible to vote, you can be darned sure I would be thinking of the children. Do I want my kids or yours to grow up in a world where the government has back-doors to everything? Absolutely not! Due process is one thing, but carte blanche is quite another.
Hell, you can get off the shelf HTPC cases that do just that, except those use heatpipes to couple the CPU/GPU to the case, so they take a variety of standard components instead of requiring a $700 custom mainboard with a previous-gen chipset.
Oh, I recognize the context. However, that context fits into a larger context. It is becoming illegal to not be interfaced with some government mandated corporate monopoly or another somewhere along the line - be it power, or water, or sewage,or whatever. You must be trackable For Your Own Safety(TM)
Because "You need power for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors", or "You must be connected to the sewer system", or "You cannot hoard rain water", or some such nonsense.
In reality, it's just that Uncle Sam and Mayor Quimby need their cut.

There's no reason you couldn't devise a connector that crimps onto the eight wires on one end and has a matchhead sized jack on the other.

To be fair, he did say homes, not businesses.
In the next 5-10 years, no one is going to have landline internet to their homes anymore.
I will, and so will millions of others. Cellular internet (and indeed, cellular phone service) is far, far too expensive.
So it plugs in like a headphone jack? Sweet!
It is one of the few connectors you can feel in the dark and get the damn plug in the right way on the first try, every time.
I can manage to plug my headphone jack in the right way around most of the time, so why not a variant of that?

You mean like the one in the very first line of the summary? The one in the link to the article?
Have you seen a commercial plane without human pilots ?
Yes. They're called drones. They're used all the time.
Of course it is. You want to know where all the crashed google cars are? They're in the same place a file goes when you empty your computer's recycle bin.

Burn it onto an EPROM, or PROM, like the cartridge games of old. Those should last a piece.
Of course, the obvious question is: Will the bike stop at stop signs?
Why is that an obvious question?
Why wouldn't it stop at stop signs?

If ignorance burned as readily as straw, this world would have been purged of it long ago.
As far as money holding goes, my pockets ARE Swiss cheese
If we give the government a back door to our data, it's only a matter of months before criminals and other nation states have that key.

From what little I understand of American politics, Obama cannot be re-elected anymore. So he is now free to spout off any nonsense he wishes.
... there are plenty of H1B eligible people ...
I'm not an American, so whenever I see H1B I think of pencils, not people.
What's with the negative dihedral on the wings? Are they trying to be unstable?

You got any links to these off the shelf cases?
Add Canada to the list.
