First of all, I didn't say anything about shiny objects so I'm not sure what that's about. Second of all, I'm pretty sure that shiny objects in your periphery attracting your attention is basic human nature. Being aware of your surroundings has always been an important survival skill. It still is, especially when driving.

Why would those everyday situations be something that the car can't handle?

Education and critical thinking skills have nothing to do with it. How would that prevent humans from getting distracted, or fatigued, or from missing something that is outside their field of vision?

People have these same problems.

A computer controlled car can't do worse than a human in that sort of situation. Most drivers would probably just reflexively swerve somewhere before even seeing what is going on in adjacent lanes.

Maybe because less people have landlines these days, so ever subscriber pays a greater share of the infrastructure costs.

I was wondering that too. Eventually wouldn't a wormhole accumulate enough mass to have a gravitational singularity too? How would that work?

If a wormhole creates an event horizon on both ends then we won't see anything coming out of it.

A black holes event horizon is a consequence of its massive gravitational field, so if you get that a wormhole should also have a massive gravitational field than the event horizon would follow from that.

And from my understanding, it's not the event horizon they are saying is smaller in the wormhole, it is the wormhole itself. So I think it is something like a difference in the tidal force, a more concentrated source of a gravitational field would have a stronger tidal force which can be detected.

Not where I live. I wish my policy makers were pushing hard for more transit options.

Electrons are actually considered points by physicists. If they do have a size it is not currently known.

That's shortsighted, you're assuming you will always be on the losing side of this situation. If the cars strategy is to preserve as many lives as possible, even if that means harm to the occupant, you are more likely to be saved by this strategy when it is the other drivers car trying to save you.

Things are legal by default, the question should be why do you think it is illegal for companies to choose who they sell their products to? Is their a specific law that is being violated? Keep in mind the companies are not based in the US so our laws don't apply.

No, to confuse a teaparty persecution complex with reality.

Lawrence Krauss said he wouldn't take legal action to avoid giving this movie any additional publicity due to the Streisand Effect.
