They aren't even capable of that. They can do what Lane assist has been doing for 10 or 20 years. As soon as they are in a situation where Lane assist isn't enough they get handed off to remote control.

Eventually these companies are going to be expected to turn a profit and the only way to do that is going to be having the remote control 100% overseas by people paid slave labor wages. Imagine the worst idiotic stereotypes about bad New York City cab drivers but make them real and have it done by wire over the internet across the globe. That's what we've got in store for our transportation Network.

You got Google you can look up what I wrote and confirm it. They admitted exactly what I said. Which is that they periodically remote control the cars. They did try to weasel their way out of it. Which is also what you're doing. Why?

Not them I know why they tried to weasel out of admitting that their cars aren't actually self-driving. What do you get out of that?

We have a huge amount of our economy being propped up by investment scams for technology that doesn't work. A lot of that is so that these overvalued companies can be stuffed into our 401K savings. SpaceX is going to wipe at least 2 trillion dollars of value off all of our retirement savings. Google wants in on that action because that money doesn't disappear it leaves our pockets and goes into the pockets of the billionaires now becoming trillionaires...

I'm just saying that maybe now would be a good time to call these companies out on their bullshit and get some regulations in place before we all wake up one day to find that our savings are gone and we're 70 and we're expected to go back to work full time or eat cat food on the streets

So the problem with these things is they Don't really work. Google admitted that at a congressional hearing. They're basically remote controlled cars with really really fancy driver assist features. Frighteningly it appears that they are sometimes piloted from the Philippines. Publicly Google will tell you that's not true but that's not what they told Congress when they were under oath...

The obvious problem with all this is that they're going to have problems with ambulances and such. And that's the waymo ones that are the best and most functional. The ones from Tesla which are so bad even Tesla doesn't really want them on the roads are a disaster waiting to happen. It does however keep their stock price up...

Frankly these things shouldn't be on the road with us but it's not like we have any say in anything anymore

That's on you not me.

The through line, to spell it out in simple terms, is that building entire airports in major cities with major space constraints that are designed to cater only to the wealthy is a sign that regular people are going to be cut off from air travel.

Stop and ask yourself how much longer until funds are diverted from the airport you are allowed to use into the airport the ultra wealthy who make all the rules are allowed to use. You don't get rich spending your own money building an airport. You make suckers like you build it.

I don't know how much plainer I can get. The wealthy or taking away your access to the aspects of civilization which you have gotten accustomed to. They are doing it slowly like boiling a frog so you don't jump out of the pot. Which is ironic because a real frog would jump out of the pot while the average American convinces themselves they've been given a free jacuzzi by billionaires

IIUC, the Chinese strategy is to come up with a cheaper collection of tools, including models, that are incompatible with the standard US tooling, and convince other countries to use their version instead. The US government seems to be actively pushing to make that strategy work. (E.g. abruptly cutting off access to models with no warning or explanation.)

Has the highest number of people employed ever. Because of course it does. Population growth is a thing after all. It is slowing but we're probably 50 years out from it going in reverse assuming human civilization doesn't just shit the bed.

So yeah the entire premise of this article is kind of a well duh. Makes me wonder if it's lazy AI slop or lazy human slop
