Sorry chap, but I think you've got it wrong on that one.

Yes, this is exactly what all these systems are doing. Taking data from various sources to build an accurate 3D abstraction of the world, so that the job of programming how to drive around can be dealt with in a predictable manner.

We've all played racing games, so we know how good computers can be at driving when they know the circuit down to the smallest detail. We just need to get the real world represented in the same kind of way. If that means lidar, radar, cameras, and everything else in between to build up that map, with those involved collaborating and sharing knowledge, then all the better.

Splash damage my good fellow, splash damage!

It's mentioned on the 2nd page of search-results and it, erm... points directly back to this article.

Anyway, I guess we all finally learned what "CMD" means after all these years.

...do doo, dododoo!

Yes, turning off the camera or covering it up for your face-recognising phone is as monumentally stupid as Windows Hello.

Oh, so Nestle is "aware" of the lawsuit, eh?

Was it aware it had a legal department at all?

Does anyone in either Atari or Nestle, outside of their own legal departments, give two shits about this sugar-biscuit homage in advertising form?

What is it with 3rd-person pronouns in clickbait headlines these days?

- "She totally did a thing, now you totally want to click, right?"
- "What he did next will make you click!"
- "Five cocktails and seven martinis get her through brunch!"

At the risk of sounding ancient; who's "she", the cat's mother?

I mean, good manners don't cost nuffin' now, do they?

That should be enough for anybody.

Either you've never seen or used an Apple product, or you've never seen or used anything other than Apple products to make the comparison.

How does tripe like this get modded "Insightful"?

Apple make good things. Apple are good at marketing those things. One does not preclude the other, you know. It's entirely possible to make good things and be able to have a team of people devise a really good marketing strategy for them too.

You can even have those people in the same building at the same time, if you like. It's amazing, but you can have different "departments" within the same campus, with teams of people taking care of different parts of the business.

But I guess this doesn't satisfy our outlet for tribalism when it comes to technology. Or sports teams. Or car brands. Or your favourite fucking brand of socks.

Things I hate:

1. Graffiti
2. Irony
3. Lists

a chance to share an experience and bring people together who care about the same things

Hey, kind of like human society in general.

Saying that, this is certainly not how I experienced television when I used to watch it. Interactions went a little more like...

"Hey, did you see the thing?"
"No, I was not interested to see the thing."
"THEN WE HAVE NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT >:|"
