I was going to post that the problem domain is much more demanding because it is much less constrained. Heat, cold, vibration, pot holes, safety, pollution controls, timing, ignition, etc. There is specialist knowledge Google et. al. simply do not have. Much more difficult than a shiney little mobi app. Over 100 years of domain knowledge goes into each and every car. Hell, they still can't even get the maps straight. A problem that was solved years ago by map makers.
Will the driverless car be secure from cracking?
Nah. Probably one of these:
OK, this is close to what i was going to say. But basically I think if you approach it as a 'one size fits all' or some sort of silver bullet approach it will fail. Use it in the domains it is good at. For other projects, you have to look else where.
In my case we have teams scattered across the world working on a very large enterprise scale project. I do not think Agile works well in that environment. I am unsure what does. ANd unfortunately we are doing things referred to as 'Agile' but is not. It is merely an excuse to keep us on an insane release schedule. SSDD. Or to put it another way, 'Ground Hog Day'.
Two words, "ejection seat".
I was going to point out that buses and airplanes don't need windows either. But people like them probably due to natural lighting.
And make them believe it was *their* idea in the first place.
Yep, except instead of an aquifer you use rivers. As in "upstream human and agricultural waste goes into a river and then it enters a waste water treatment plant". You are merely replacing "river" with "aquifer". By the way, I find agricultural chemicals to be more of a concern in my mind.
Why a nightmare? People lived longer, were happier, were less likely to die in preventable accidents, and had more fun.
What is traffic going to be like in 13 years. And a another poster pointed out, that time on the train could be productive and/or relaxing for a business traveler.
You forgot the complimentary gluten free vegan pot brownies.
"But this is Slashdot. In 13 years, we'll all be in driverless Teslas, so you'll be able to watch pr0n or post kitty pictures to Facebook for the duration of the trip on Mars"
Fixed that for you
What will it cost to build out the needed road and airline infrastructure? What is the cost in terms of pollution and lost productivity by continuing to rely on cars and airplanes?
To talk about the cost of a project without comparing alternatives is meaningless.
With out the government propping him up and holding his hand. Any company that needs government help is a poorly run company. He's just a welfare bum.
To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load.
