There's a substantial pool of people with impressive resumes willing to do something like this. Money doesn't motivate everyone the same way.

Lots of assumptions there. I've never seen Google claim their service is up to date, we all just kinda assume that the FREE service they're providing is current. Streetview doesn't mean they knowingly sent a car over the bridge, it just means they have pics of the bridge out. I've submitted changes to Google maps before, it can take months to get approved - I think it's up to Local Guides to approve them.

This is a money grab. First at fault is the guy driving too fast for the conditions. Second is the state or county that didn't properly manage the hazard. Maybe after that you could claim Google had some degree of liability.

Don't the cars with self driving functions monitor your eyes? Now just hack this feed into that camera and you don't have to pay attention at all!

That's like blaming a homeowner that gets his front door kicked in. There's no such thing as perfect security, so how much of your budget do you throw at the problem? You're also completely neglecting any sort of risk analysis. If my door gets kicked in, you probably wouldn't even hear about it - nor should you. As the impact gets more critical, the negligence needle moves with it.

It's almost as if using hyperbole to bolster your argument isn't exclusive to any one group on the internet.

Good thing we don't have to worry about /r/idiotsincars.

It's pretty absurd and says a lot about his humility when he thinks that his status as a sci-fi writer trumps the litany of corporations that have millions of dollars on the line with SDCs. Sounds like he should have a list of puts in his portfolio.

Backup is for recovery, not protection.

Just like spam, stop replying or clicking and it will stop. /s

Dividends come when a company chooses to pay them. It has more to do with how a company chooses to reward investors rather than how old the company is.

Your UID number says you should've grown out of online dick measuring and name calling by now.

This is informative? You know what 100% actually means, right?

To me, it means that you're probably using social media wrong. Trim out the political BS and your feed is better. Or at least marginally better. :/ And surprise, when you personally know the people that you interact with, it's pretty easy to disprove "100% PR accounts and bots".

And here you are, raising the bar. *high five*

Am I going to have to install this to actually understand what Reader Mode does? I didn't see any sort of description it.

Right, because it's impossible for that wheel to be in the same orientation again.
