That's the real question, though. Is it really autonomous or is it being helped out remotely? Cruise admitted to remote help every few miles only after one of their cars was involved in a horrific crash.
How do we know the car companies are not doing a Theranos? Fake it till you make it and all that bull.

Are these robotaxis autonomous or just remotely operated ? How far do they travel before needing human input?
Cruise were boasting about several million miles of self-driving before admitting they needed input from some jerk with a laptop every few miles.

I notice these PR articles keep saying "nobody in the drivers seat" where they used to say "self-driving". Have the lawyers made them change the wording?

That doesn't seem a lot of computing power to accurately identify, track and predict the course of hundreds of real-world objects in 3d in real time continuously for hours.

How does it compare to current desktop/gpu setups which run AI chatbots/text-to image whose crappy hallucination-riddled output is measured in seconds or minutes?

Hehe, do they have _any_documentation of _any_ of the parts being assembled into an aircraft? How many quality assurance documents were signed by Mickey Mouse on the 35th of Fleemtember ?

Hmm, but cramming people together means you need high-rise buildings which use ludicrous amounts of concrete which needs ludicrous amounts of energy and heavy trucks to move it which destroy the roads which then need repairing etc.

Plus the housing is cramped and impossible to extend, so you need to move house when circumstances change, you need to pump water miles to flush the toilet because you can't catch rainwater and so on.

Reduce the population and spread them out? That is the stupidest thing I ever heard. What are people going to do with their extra space? Grow food so they don't need to waste time and energy bringing it from the shops? Put up windmills so they are less dependent on the grid? And just how do you expect to price young people out of the housing market if there is less competition for the shoddily-built apartments thrown together by rapacious developers? Crazy talk!

Manufactured goods get cheaper to make over time (in general). How much they sell for is another matter.

Just remember how little they care about people when you are applying for a job and they make promises about raises and promotions in the future.

Text doesn't take up much space, surely it is better to have information that only a few care about than waste effort deleting it?

Not really comparable, since the human drivers cannot instantly disengage and hand over to someone else every time they don't know what to do.

..would be 'introverted astronaut returns from five years isolation and confronts surveillance capitalism, intrusive advertising and overcrowding'.

Body Count Acculmulating ?

Bean Counting Arseholes. ?

You get what you pay for. At such a ludicrously low price for a satellite, it is hardly surprising that it fell out of the sky.

If they have a time machine, surely they won't have to wait?
