STFU will win

...on 5th Ave. and not lose any investors.

anything that includes me without my direct permission at a dinner party... last time I ever speak to them.

I'd turn their spectacles into suppositories, giving them a free colonoscopy that they'll watch over and over clockwork-orange-style.

...only to learn that bot maintenance was too expensive?

Hearst did a media blitz against Hemp, only the papers called it by it's Spanish name "Marijuana" and claimed it made Mexican immigrants violent, Blacks disrespectful (they would look a White man in the eye!!), and made White Women want to have sex with Blacks.

And they'll eat your pets, believe me, everyone says so.

Are you implying more would go out in bad weather if they had a robo-car?

"A double standard between humans and bots"

You enjoy your horse dewormer, I'll take the mRNA gene-editing.

...coding models? Are they comparable to the expensive ones?

I want a refund on my See Instant Crater event tickets! They costed me half a bitcoin, dammit!

Musk: "Stupid woke moon, eh, should be locked up or given correctional therapy to, eh, put it into a business-friendly orbit. It's in a socialist orbit right now. Put the socialists in orbit instead, heh heh heh."

Snow, rain, fog, changes in roads, construction, flooding.

Humans fuck those up also. It's just that traffic fortunately tends to be light during bad weather so that our screwups have limited impact. During the last heavy rain I drove in at night I probably made 10+ traffic violations because I couldn't see the damned lines. Fortunately there weren't a lot of other cars around to be co-confused with: the wise stayed home.

And if there is traffic in bad weather, such as work commutes, one just typically follows the person in front of them. If they by chance drove off a cliff I'd probably follow them down. So we have rules-of-thumb that mostly save us, but are highly imperfect.

I believe the goal has to be "better than humans" because humans seem to have a double standard for bots per screwups. Bots F-ing up spread like wildfire on social media.

Maybe we are collectively bigoted against automation, but being bots probably won't lobby to correct that or fight for their (alleged) rights, that's probably the way it will stay (at least until true sentience). Thus, I agree with the premise the driving system must be better than a human driver to be accepted.

then it's considered beatified behavior.
