The human bottleneck will remain. But we need to get away from the "test and fix" amateur approach we currently use. We need to do "secure by construction and design" instead. It just costs money and requires actually qualified engineers. It is known how to do it though.
So? Lidar plus camera fails a lot less than camera alone. I have no idea why you event try to do FUD here.
Observable evidence from about 40 years of research into this say he is exactly right and that the additional sensors make a huge difference. Your entirely invalid claim is that computer vision can be as good as human vision. No idea where you take that from, but it cannot be actual research, because actual reality is that nobody knows.
There are tons of things computers can do that humans could do first. But what we basically always find is that there is a way to do it without insight, often by brute-forcing things and mixing that with some algorithms (that have no clue what they are doing).
Hence basically most cases where computers replicate human skill, we are pretty sure they do it differently.
You mistake what "safety" means. It just means accident rated below an acceptable threshold. It does not mean perfection at all.
Yes. The expectation is that in Europe, in the not too distant future, human driving will essentially go away because of insurance cost.
AI is proving to be a useful augment to skilled humans, but not a replacement. We were promised a robot and instead have invented a robotic arm. I think LiDAR based driving is headed in the same direction.
The systems they have invented are a great augment to human judgment, but not a replacement for it. I would love to buy a car equipped with Waymoâs lane and collision detection, but I would certainly not trust a Waymo in most cases and especially in serious weather.
Snow, rain, fog, changes in roads, construction, flooding. There are hundreds of novel situations Waymo fails at. It is easy to trash your competitors but far harder to deliver true driverless cars.
And before the Waymo gooners show up to defend them, lets just get this out of the way: Waymo has millions of short trips, but all of their miles combined are just rounding error on the number of trips that happen in a single day in the United States. The plain fact is that they are largely unproven from a statistical perspective, especially on highway and novel situation driving
In what way? Only a lefty would compare borrowing someone else's phone to borrowing someone else's voter ID.
Curation: it belongs in a museum!
Seems more like cold reading. People seem inordinately impressed when something they just said is repeated back to them.
Is that AGI you feel, or the icy waters as the ship you're on goes down? Either way the Mag7 are going to see a huge correction in their stock price and global reputation after wasting a trillion dollars chasing godhood.
I ordered my last phone, moving the number to a new carrier, on my . . . desktop computer. If your phone is your only internet access, you have problems that aren't T-Mobile's fault.
As for cloning, I literally could not boot up the phone without being offered a fully automated process to bring everything over from the old phone. It just worked.
Brick & mortar store fronts aren't really needed for 99% of their business. The other 1%, of course, you need some poor drone standing in front of you to glare at so they will call someone you're not allowed to talk to who can actually do stuff. But apparently, T-Mobile doesn't care about that 1%.
And there are very, very few people who cannot get access to another phone.
Of course, then you're calling from a different number than the one registered to the account, which, at the least, will make it more cumbersome to prove who you are.
In some states, the Public Utilities Commission will nail them to a cross for that. Not because they care about consumers, but because they get off on screwing over telecoms.
Had a cell phone waaay back with AT&T Wireless (which was a completely different company than the one that uses the name now). They moved their payment processing center from Los Angeles to Arizona, and didn't update the computer than printed the statements to have the new mailing address on the payment stub (yeah, that long ago). Six months later, the forwarding address expired, and I got a payment back as undeliverable, and they suspended the account for non-payment.
When the California PUC got done with them, I got three months of free service, which was just enough time to get off my ass and move the phone number to another carrier.
