Comment Re:Picking on Cuba (Score 3, Insightful) 91

Cuba is a special case because, after the revolution, so many of the Batista supporters fled to Florida.

So Republicans are very leery of doing anything that might piss off the Cuban-American contingent.

Comment Ask the passenger (Score 3, Interesting) 95

Why is their AI having trouble identifying emergency barriers, uniformed people making hand-signals, big puddles, and emergency vehicles? It doesn't seem like the kind of thing AI typically fails at.

Maybe the bot-car should ask the passengers for help if not sure. I suspect it often over-identifies such that engineers turned down the reaction threshold. Instead, try asking the damned humans. "Possible emergency situation ahead. I plan to stop and wait. Please confirm if this is a the proper action. Press 'Other' for other options."
