Who cares what the victim was classified as. Seems like the car should know when it is about to hit something and preserve itself. What if it had been a lawn cart rolling across the road? Wouldn't you want to not hit something that might cause damage to your car? Reminds me of the story of the guy that saw a refrigerator box in the road and decided to hit it for fun - too bad it still contained the refrigerator. These cars need to recognize that they shouldn't hit anything in the road no matter if it is a person, pothole, or box

I made the conscious decision to get a nexus phone so that I would get the updates. When it isn't supported anymore, I'll upgrade. So I do pay for my updates. Apple works the same way - pay more up front, get updates for quite awhile. This is kind of a moot point. If you charged people for an update, would someone be able to sue you if you didn't give them the security updates for free? I bet someone in the US would try it and even if it was thrown out, that's still a lot of extra hassle. I know what to expect when I buy a cheapo phone - nothing.

In the US, 250 psi would be a bit much for the pressure coming out of a fire hose. 100 psi would be much more typical nozzle pressure. We test our hoses to around 300 psi, but I'd hate to be the nozzle man at 250 psi. (to get 250 psi at the nozzle, you'd have to be pulling a 2 1/2" hose) Depending on hose length, you'd be looking at somewhere around 300 GPM at 250 psi on a 2 1/2" hose.

but at least everyone on /. now knows the difference between a hub and a router...

Get a hub and a door/window sensor or the starter kit. Put the door / window sensor on a cabinet door and tell your daughter to open that door if mommy has a problem (you could put a teddy bear or something in there that she should take to mommy ONLY if mommy is having issues). Then, using the smart app, you can have that alert you anytime the cabinet is opened. Should be less than $150 or so and now you have the start of home automation as well.

This is the reason I just went to a Moto G LTE. Damn good phone. Yeah, I wait for the home screen to redraw. But let's face it, I'm not doing real work on my phone. I mostly use it to fill my leisure time. I can wait the extra 250 ms. I can read my emails, call, surf the web, control my chromecast, get tokens just like I can on a $550 S5. Totally agree with this article.

Great... Once they are sentient this will be able to instruct them on how to operate the implements of our destruction. Hope they aren't feeding it copies of the snuff video that ISIS just posted.

The leaf is $6k less and 115 MPGe. 124 MPGe isn't going to save you $6k over the life of the car.

Really!!??!! Next your going to tell us that lowering taxes can increase revenue.

Rocket launcher for the car - invisibility cloak for the motorcycle. Nobody sees my motorcycle anyway.
