autopilot is safer than human drivers

Tell me more. Actually, don’t, I don’t want to hear it.

it’s because the human drivers around them

Well, in that case, autopilot isn’t safer than a human driver. It needs to be able to handle idiot drivers better than a human to be better than a human

Imagine how many accidents would be avoided if there were fewer cars with fewer drivers because instead of investing in robotaxis and more roads, money was invested into public transit.

Ironworkers.

In no way excusing bush, but the following administration had House, Senate, and Supreme court majorities and didn’t roll it back.

If they’re powered off they should be listed as unavailable/unknown.

Portability, in a word.

When a government owned and operated service becomes a privately owned and operated service they need to lose and renegotiate all the concessions and free stuff they get, before anyone can claim it’s a financial gain to the government.

Are there any success stories of a privatization of a government monopoly in the long term? One time cash injection to the government followed by decades of bailouts, failing infrastructure, and reduction of services.

Their interpretation of scripture is literally god’s word

FTFY. That’s where they get the wilggle room “oh he didn’t mean love one another like that”

So … the lineups at the local coffee shop are actually about signalling wealth and not just because they’re financially ignorant and/or too lazy to make it at home?

TIL.

People who trust these influencer-shilled vpn providers over their ISP are awfully brave or have terrible ISPs. I wonder how many people actually put together that they’re replacing one untrustworthy entity with an other untrustworthy entity.

But this makes a lot of sense. I saw a list of exit nodes recently and assumed they were doing some GeoIP fuckery instead of actual routing

The UK needs to cut some bureaucrat middle management and allocate the funds to the social programs they’ve austeritied into symbolic existence.

Education makes a tremendous difference. Americans have mentally ill people probably at the same rate as EU, but also has ignorant people and that’s where the difference is made up. If you travel 3 hrs in USA, you’ll find the same culture. If you travel 3 hrs in Europe, you’ll be in a different culture altogether.

I agree with the spirit of the post - the tanks Americans have been taught to adore are a bigger safety risk than a small car and I love my Smart. However, the Euro NCAP are performed at speeds not exceeding 60kph. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to require that in order to travel on roads with a 50kph speed limit, the vehicle will not crumple like a piece of tissue and kill the occupants. There is the separate quadricycle test which demonstrates the risks of these vehicles.

The Euro NCAP also have the valuable pedestrian safety tests and extrication ratings.

It would be trivial to ddos, and likewise for the receiving mail server. Sounds like an amplification attack by design.

Low ABV beverages like wine and beer don’t take age well. Some wines can age in the bottle, but most volume is not made with that in mind. Beer has a shorter shelf life than many people realize. Spirits don’t age (well) in the bottle either.

It’s not milk, but it’s not a MRE either.

Technical people don’t understand the business, you see.

Paedophiles? No, that’s just a simple cover up. What they need is legal threats from the president of the USA.

Fair point.

Trump isn’t serious about peace. Who would possibly think that is the case?

Look how well it works for Orban

Indeed it does. Should it include anyone from What we do in the shadows?
