"I live on acreage and my corner store is 6km away"
Why are you talking with everyone else as if you aren't a 0.01% outlier? Shut up. No-one cares about you. If you want to live that far outside of the norm you can buy your own damn car just like you can pay $30,000 to get connected to an electrical grid.
Also, you are a filthy liar. You expect us to believe that an area with 7000 homes (an average population of 15-20 thousand) is 6 km away from a corner store? Come on.
Yes, it's called "detergent" and it solublizes most things, making them much easier to remove by mechanical action, ie scrubbing. 99.9% of the time, you don't need to go to such extremes, though. Just a quick vacuum will do.
I don't think you read the article, much less the abstract of the paper, much much less the actual paper. Sorry you don't want to believe reality. I'm sure that won't effect your ability to predict the future, and that the things that you pull out of your ass will be the truth now and forever.
Even if you only had to wait two minutes (because they are all over the place, having mostly replaced people's cars)? What if you could schedule it in advance (a function sorely missed in markets with fewer drivers like mine)?
The end date on his calculation was 18 years from now, not ten. By then, most cars on the road will either have self driving as a standard feature, or can be readily retrofitted for that functionality. Assuming the GP is right about self driving taking off, of course.
How does a mom and pop hamburger stand compete against 100,000 McDonalds locations?
By not doing that. They compete with the one down the street, or they go to where there aren't any McDonalds in the worst case.
Some guy getting a passive income off of his self driving car doesn't have to make the same amount as some rich guy making a passive income off of his fleet of self driving cars. He just has to make enough to pay the note, fuel, and maintenance, and have some profit left over, same as the rich guy.
Pricing premiums according to risk is what insurance companies do. Again, remind me never to hire you as an underwriter.
As to hacking, there would likely be a standalone/read-only GPS that relays the location of the vehicle. Great way to send a squadron of police cars straight to you.
Also, the speed limit is lower in residential neighborhoods. Self driving cars are going to be doing 25-30, not 95. At those speeds, its easy for object detection to stop the car before impact, even without predictive AI.
Also, as far as responsibility, would you feel any worse if your taxi driver or bus ran over someone? You would blame the driver, not yourself. Similarly, you would blame the manufacturer of your self driving car.
Anything that a human brain isn't specialized for, an AI can do better. This means that you need humans communicating (with people), making predictions as to what people will do, and a few other cognitive tasks that are "hard" (processing visual imagery was hard until very recently--soon only self referencing/mind modelling tasks like those mentioned will be hard).
The world is changing. I drive for Uber, and I wasn't phased by their plans to introduce self driving cars one bit. Best case scenario, that happens in about three years, by which time the world will have changed so much, its hard to imagine that I would still want to drive for them.
Actually, it already has. There are a number of coins out there that have unbreakable contracts built in, and thus can't be stolen. People and exchanges that use bitcoin do so at their own peril. It is already obsolete.
Voting is so hard. Better to put in the exact same amount of effort while deliberately supporting the current system.
Seriously, no-one is asking you to run for office as a third party. Just check the box next to the candidate that you think is best qualified, whether or not you think he has a chance of winning. Trying to apply some bullshit self fulfilling prophesy that "X can't win" because the media (who is in bed with one or both of the two big parties) tells you so is always going to be a losing proposition. The ONLY way to make a difference is to DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
This isn't rocket science, but apparently it is miles beyond the reach of idiot fucking Americans.
They have also killed off flying cars about 20 times, friend. Ever wonder why air travel looks like a dystopian caricature of what it was in the 60's? It's because of the FAA stifling innovation that falls outside its box.
Nice job making a bunch of shit up there. Uber drivers don't know what the race of the requester nor their sobriety status when they accept the fare. They just know their first name.
And it's the cabs that just drive on by if you are black. This is extremely well known and you are communicating your intention to deceive very clearly by making up such a stupid bald faced lie.

Well, more like maybe 15 or 20. Presumably they would be cleaned out every day or as needed, whichever is more frequent.

Why should you pay for insurance on your house?
Luckily, these cars won't be built by no bid, bloated military contractors.

Computers can do that too: http://www.kurzweilai.net/deep...

You do know that Google has been running self driving cars in a big city for years now, right?
Stop making stuff up.
Actually, that's wrong. AI is already at primate level when it comes to object recognition: http://www.kurzweilai.net/deep...

Did you know that people have stolen dollars before too?
Seems to me that we just have to give up the entire concept of money, since it is a thing that can be stolen from idiots!
Jamal the drug dealer stole my money I had on deposit with him!
END THE FED! DOWN WITH THE DOLLAR!
That is true, but the market would be so much smaller it would be much more difficult to operate at a profit.
Also, prohibition laws and similar idiocy/corruption breed contempt for legitimate law.

"Don't vote third party until everyone else is already voting third party."
That's some great strategery you're hitting us with there, Jeb.
"Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!"
You can vote third party while also protesting for systemic change, you know.
The question is, did you learn your lesson? Will you stop supporting the one party Republocrat system next election?

The government doesn't want you to make money, especially if you do so in a new and innovative way. THAT, my friend, is the problem.
