Good luck explaining that to a jury though.

Yeah, try explaining why your finger print is all over a crime scene.

I have seen humans drive in bad weather (I had to drive across Colorado in one), humans are horrible at unexpected and unprepared situations.

All it takes in one self driving car to cause a jam, likewise all it takes is one over confident idiot to cause a jam. I dont think it would be that different to be honest.

And no, there wont be a minimum speed limit. If a bunch of people (or even a single person) decides 5 miles per hour is the speed for the conditions, 5 mph it will be.

You have too much faith in the present. I am as pessimistic about the present and the future.

They wont be adopted if the machine is being unreasonable. Not that depressing outcome. I dont see why it would be unreasonable though. Insurance companies expect pile ups everytime there is bad weather already.

No, that is not what I said. The car will decide when you give it the destination (so presumably your drive way or parking lot or whatever). In rare cases if it notices something only when driving, it will do whatever a human will do when they notice black ice when driving (drive slowly, safely, or if that is impossible, yeah just block all cars in the road, which is safer for everyone right? If you think the machine is malfunctioning, you call a tow, just like you would when your car is malfunctioning). Yeah, I do say that if the machine says so or the human in front of you says so, you deal with it.

Of course this only applies for fully self driving vehicles, with no option to manual drive. Presumably you know how to drive, and can handle a hybrid. It wont apply to you, right?

You always deal with decisions of other humans (some of them not with a sound mind), and to an extend machines already. Why is purely machine decisions any more depressing?

No, it wouldnt ask for any of the Amazon Choice items. It is a preselected item, so you dont have to listen to a list of matches and choose one just by the name. The point is to "make it easy to order", right? That is exactly what they are doing. They may have removed doll house, temporarily from the list, because of news going around, but it will work for the rest of items on Amazon Choice.

And PIN not being compulsory is certainly Amazon's fault. Even if you know how to set a pin, it will affect many other users. Not a good idea to ship with a phone.

No, if it is unsafe for the car to drive itself, it is unsafe for you to drive too. I am sure your boss will prefer you stay home when roads are filled with black ice and snow. You should be looking for a new boss, if not.

Probably nothing makes him think self driving car would do better in that scenario. Not sure where you got that from. His point is self driving cars would be no worse than humans in bad weather conditions. It may be better in some cases (it may refuse to start driving in such bad weather, avoiding routes with bad weather for long distance trips), worse in some cases too, overall I dont think it would be a lot better.

No one has to follow CERN writing guidelines.

Alloy

Yes, duh. The description/design in the patent can certainly be implemented.

My point is that it is newsworthy. I think you agree that it is newsworthy, just that sometimes it has not gone reported. The problem is not with this story though.

I have heard of it for what its worth. Likely from the news. How did you hear about it anyways, if it did not make the news? Inside sources?

It is news when taxi drivers do this too. You think underage prostitution being caught wont make the news? Do you even think of the children bro?
