I'm assuming that you're not an idiot and therefore have a well-structured logical argument that you've used to convince yourself of this claim?

It does already do some automatic emergency breaking and they are working on improving the performance of this; but it's not a trivial problem to solve.
It is pretty hard to avoid vendor lock-in due to APIs nowadays.
And of all the languages, I daresay Swift is one of the few that's in a clear direction heading away from vendor specificity and toward open access.
Of course. But that doesn't change the fact that foreign legislation does in fact compel action in US companies in the interest of compliance and homogeneity.
Tell that to the companies sending you emails as a consequence of the GDPR.
Does that make them a candidate for Dark Matter?
You merely serve to prove my point by illustrating what disregard for others looks like.
Myself personally, I'm not invested, as I use neither technology. I'm merely proposing a moral point of view.
It appears that your moral point of view is limited to "if I myself cannot imagine a problem, that must mean all that do are morons. And morons are not deserving of any moral regard". You sir, should thank the world that not everybody thinks the way you do about others, for your own life would be immeasurably harder if we all did. I would recommend a healthy dose of gratitude for society and perhaps a pinch of mutual contribution in kindness.
Well of course. This is nothing unique or specific to acronyms. The same applies to any kind of situation where you would choose to name a certain thing. Names are overloaded all the time. That is obvious and expected.
The topic here is not, "oh, how odd, two separate objects were referred to by the same token, I never saw that happen before, it is therefore newsworthy!". The topic here is that the fact that two objects are being referred to by the same name in a shared space (the tech world) where one has a strong and settled history and another is a disruptive newcomer is creating a situation whereby honest people are getting confused and mislead, and whereby information is getting lost and distorted.
The topic here is that names have value in the fact that they aid people in communicating and collaborating on something, and when people intentionally or otherwise disrupt the value of one name by overloading it with their own, showing an utter disregard of the lives and frustrations of the people whom they are fucking with, this is something that we should raise awareness on and discourage as much as possible in the interest of common good.
This is the legal framework and justification for trademarks. Obviously not every open-source initiative has taken out trademarks on their every collaborative project and every term used within those projects, but just because a legal trademark was not purchased does not mean that the moral reasons for which those trademarks exist are somehow irrelevant for this project.
Please be a little more mindful before you speak. Your utter disregard for morality by turning a blind eye on people and their lives by simply pretending that the obvious technicalities that we are all fully aware of are the only thing that exists in the world.
You merely repeat the same mistake, seemingly as though you completely missed the point of the comment to which you replied. Or did I miss a counter-point?
You trivialize name disputes. If the significance of a name conflict were as shoulder-shrug as you aim to convey there would be absolutely no existential reason for or value in trademarks.
The reality however is a little more complicated and requires us to admit that names are significant and we should not just shrug them off.
Please update your response. QC does not break encryption. It breaks factoring performance. That means, all it breaks is private key discovery from a public key. It does not break the encryption performed with those keys (though obviously, discovering a private key trivially is a problem), and it does NOT BREAK SYMMETRIC ENCRYPTION, which is by far the most common and most robust encryption in use today. It's vital we stop the spread of misinformation. Start with yourself.
Relax, dude. You are discontent with the general public's reaction to this murder and are putting the weight of that injustice squarely on one person's shoulders. The software developer is not making the public act they way they are. You don't know the guy.
If I was the software developer that made this mistake, I would already be tortured with guilt over having killed a person. Your assumption that this person must be punished because he's clearly obviously laughing about it like the rest of them are is baseless and ignorant, and as naive of a real person's tragedy as you are blaming the public to be about this tragedy.
Punishment is not justice, and justice does not right a wrong. Don't be so eager to swing an axe just because you yourself feel bad about this situation. That is just selfish. Instead, let's figure out the right way to react to the injustice that took place here, barring any prejudice.
Nobody, since the case was settled out of court.
I think it's important to be mindful with your terminology. Tesla's Autopilot is not a self-driving system. It is cruise control. Conflating terminology causes nothing but confusion and undue misconceptions about emerging technologies.
If people stop thinking about Autopilot as self-driving and start thinking about it as cruise control, it becomes immediately obvious that this is not a conversation about why the car did not dodge the obstacle, but rather a conversation about why the human looked away from the road while hurtling forward at great speed in a metal basket, long enough to travel at least 200 meters in distance.
You're essentially asking for Firefox's containers. They are included by default with the browser (just not enabled).
Which incidentally is exactly what this add-on enables for you and uses for the facebook.com domain only (it creates a Facebook container for you).
If all else fails, lower your standards.
