Traffic authorities? As autonomous vehicles increase, traffic cops will decrease.

Besides if we let the government collect all autonomous vehicle data, we are in for some serious trouble. If they use that power to enforce something as frivolous as traffic violations then we have really f***ed ourselves over.

Racist or not, there is a valid question brought up by Chas: at what point do we end AA? Is it when we get a black president? Is it when 40% of CEO's and small business owners are minorities? Or when 50% of Ivy League enrollment is minorities? Where is the line drawn where we can say success?

Sadly, AA isn't about equality. By its very definition, it is racist. If you want races to be treated equally, you need to start dismantlement legislation that treats them differently. We've legally re-segregated races in this country. We need to get rid of programs like AA and tackle the real issues of poverty and income equality.

Even worse, because of this sentiment, I'll probably be labeled as a racist by some people on here.

But imagine driving after all the idiots who ride in the fast lane, going 10 under the speed limit, swerving because they are texting, are off the road in self driving cars. It will be some time before self driving cars are mandatory. I'll relish in those years where I can drive like a mad man and all those self driving cars will part like the red sea.

The same can be said of all of the problems arising from religious disputes, it is a blemish on the ethics and morals (lack thereof) of the men involved.

And political wackos have no ethics.

At some point people will say, I'm glad they took away the flesh and blood driver from the car, people could never drive as well as a machine.

Retractable shades. There, I just saved you the effort of building two nearly identical fleets of vehicles. You can send the check to my secretary.

WordPress developers - Isn't that an oxymoron

I know news has gotten pretty bad, but mistaking a super bowl commercial... Ok, I can see that.

You sir, are what I'd call an Idiot.

A downward slope would just be non-normalized data. If there are a lot of bad ones, bad just becomes the mean. Programming talent, like most things, probably falls neatly into a bell curve.

The U curve the article is referring to is a bimodel distribution, which is rare even in nature. It occurs for something like a disease that effects immune compromised people. Thus the age distribution of infected would be the very old and very young.

Well just to state the obvious, the benefit of less federal government and the power reverting to the states is that you, the voter, have more power to influence elections.

You're really grasping at straws there. You clearly have strong world views and are using selective evidence to support them. I'm not here to convince you to change your mind, just point out the logical fallacies apparent in your bold claims.

Disproven by product adoption models, showing most people are hesitant to jump on new technology right away. They may not fear it, but most certainly don't embrace it. Those are only the early adopters.

This just doesn't make sense. Apart from the business having feelings thing, how do you explain new companies coming into the market place or existing companies coming out with cool new innovative products.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Lets start with the most obvious contradiction:

Businesses cant feel anything. The people running businesses can. So your statement becomes "People are afraid of change, people are not."

Next, you completely ignore Luddites, which are increasing in number with increased autonomy in industry.

Lastly, you completely ignore the standard distribution model of product adoption. If everyone was as you say, we'd all be early adopters.

Shh! Or the handicapper general will come for you.
