Comment Autonomous Cars (Score 1) 408

Auto Cars should be able to see EVERYTHING even without lights. The lights are there only for the squishy people to notice. I want auto cars to succeed, but I fail to see how all those sensors failed to see what auto cars are supposed to be good at, which is noticing objects using hundreds of sensors so that they can prevent accidents. Otherwise, what is the point of auto cars?

"The problem is that government promotes irrational behavior." Citation please "It's simply for profit and there's nothing wrong with it." By this argument, the mafia should also be legal, since they are there for nothing more than profit, or any number of shady and unethical things in the world.

Comment PC ran into a problem (Score 2) 142

First, my PC is quite stationary. The first thing I did when I stood up my PC was to chop off its legs, so it can't run into anything including problems. Second of all, if my PC has issues, why does Microsoft recommend that I restart? I strongly feel that it should be my computer that restarts to resolve problems

Ford Plans a Fleet of Fully Autonomous Cars Operating in a Ride-Hail Service By 2021 (recode.net) 101

Ford will mass-produce autonomous vehicles without steering wheels by 2021, Ford chief executive Mark Fields said today at the Ford Research and Innovation Center in Palo Alto, California. Recode reports:Fields announced that the company is working toward launching a fleet of commercial, level 4 (one level below a completely autonomous system, in which drivers don't have to be engaged) vehicles in a ride-hail service by 2021. The details of that ride-hail service -- such as which company Ford will partner with to operate it -- still haven't been determined. As part of that effort, Ford is investing in Velodyne, a self-driving tech company, and is working with three other startups. Ford has acquired Israel-based computer vision and machine learning company SAIPS, struck up an exclusive licensing agreement with machine vision company Nirenberg Neuroscience LLC and, as previously announced, invested in 3-D mapping startup Civil Maps.
