I doubt these purported robotaxis are capable of dealing with I-4 in the daily 3PM toad strangler.

"Hell yeah, a credit card!" - people I don't get

So what?

Do you honestly think that it is going to be faster to

- Call 911
- Get an EMS vehicle dispatched
- Send it to them .. then to just go directly to EMS?

If you do, I think you need to rethink that process. Or, you have never before called 911.

Also, FYI, despite what you may think, ambulances DO have to follow the speed limit.

This whole process seems very dumb and not thought through.

If someone is not responsive in the back of a vehicle when the ride ends. the vehicle should just BE DRIVEN TO THE NEAREST EMS LOCATION, either the fire department or hospital. Calling the city EMS and wasting their time is nonsensical when the person IS IN A VEHICLE THAT DRIVES ITSELF ALREADY.

Then, if they get to the EMS and it turns out the person is just asleep, then charge them a few hundred dollars and reimburse the city.

I am deep in the AI space

And I can tell you, the number of companies that have deployed AI to production well, to any kind of degree, are very slim.

The problem isn't the technology. Its that most companies are staffed and run by incompetants, and are unable to change at the pace needed to get benefit from AI

The disruption caused by AI is going to be felt as existing Fortune 1000 companies all start being disrupted by other companies with half of the operating expenses.

These platforms are starting to let people bet on wildfire activity. What a fun way of incentivizing arsonists.

You're conflating your emotions with facts, in a field you very likely know very little about.

Always anonymous, always cowards.

Ironically, with the current state of affairs and AI slop everywhere.. I am finding more and more than the curated feed of personal connections I get on Facebook is much more aligned with what I want to be doing on social media. I am spending more time there again.

Hey, people pay good money for non-radioactive materials!

The way the tech works is the camera in the glasses itself is looking for the extra light coming from the LED, which is of a very specific frequency. If the light is not picked up by the camera within the first second of video, then the glasses are disabled. In this way, you can't disable the light, or cover it with tape, or drill it, or anything else - because if the camera can not see it, then the glasses shut off

Insane Clown Posse, is that you?

Once they realized you'd pay the hire price, if the fees are gone, the businesses are just going to go 'yummy more money for me'.

This is dumb shit. Many stores around me explicitly charge you the difference if you pay by credit card to cover the service fee.

I have never had my debit card compromised. Ever. The fact that it's a direct line is what makes it not usable to buy things online, etc (generally). But it's very nice to use in person - I like that when I spend money, I'm actually spending it and not creating debt. (Don't get me wrong, I always pay off my credit card bills every month, which are not trivial sums .. but I'm only using them because they're the only things you can use online.)

Credit cards, on the other hand - we all pay for the insurance. It's not really the banks problem, its a problem that you have protection for because you pay for it.
