It was going to be called e-coin. Should be released early May.
I fly in my back yard all of time time. I'm well within shotgun range of 4 neighbors. Does that mean I'm automatically an asshole and automatically trying to get a peek at my neighbors daughters? Or is the possibility that I'm learning how to fly, in MY backyard, during reasonable hours? Why should I need to go get permission from my neighbor to fly a quad in my back yard?
What's wrong with the criminal process as it is today? If the neighbor thinks I am taking pictures of his daughter (whether from a quad, or from my deck using a camera with a nice zoom on it) he can call the police, and they can do their job. If I'm disturbing their peace (by flying my quad, using a chainsaw, or playing loud music) there are legal avenues for that too.
None of these situations need to involve shotguns or willful destruction of property. People taking the law into their hands is never a good thing.
Where in the thread is anyone saying you can't fly over your own property? If you fly your drone over their property and within a few tens of feet of people and dwelling windows yes your drone deserves a shotgun blast because you are being an asshole. No one is saying you can't do what you want on your own property as your straw man arguments suggest.
You'd think that, that many views would tell apple that people would like the headphone jack to remain. But I know they don't care. Hopefully other manufacturers will realize this and not remove it too. Regardless, I have no plans to get a new phone until my currently 2 generation old phone dies.
Yep just like how the non-removable battery didn't catch on. I mean how could a non-removable battery be a safety issue or cost a company billions in lost stock value?
Statistically insignificant. Tesla stats will only matter when tens of thousands, if not millions, of trips have been made under autopilot. Then compare accident rates. If Tesla turns out to be safer, it won't be because of AI, because we have no idea how humans drive in the first place. It will be because of image processing and predictive algorithms, combined with pre-ordained decision trees. And there may well be major unforeseen consequences, such as cascading failures and catastrophic feedback loop interactions between vehicles.
Apples to oranges - almost no one uses autopilot in the most adverse conditions where many If not most driving fatalities occur such as icy roads.
They detect obstacles in the middle of the road, regardless of their ability to comprehend signs.
One tesla owner who was watching Harry Potter on a portable DVD player instead of hovering over the controls is no longer around to disagree.
Instead, this is a research exercise. Uber wants to learn and refine how self driving cars act in the real world. That includes how the cars react to passengers -- and how passengers react to them. "How do drivers in cars next to us react to us? How do passengers who get into the backseat who are experiencing our hardware and software fully experience it for the first time, and what does that really mean?" said Raffi Krikorian, director of Uber ATC.
From an actual customare review later this year:
Well the autonomous driver is pretty bad at giving people the traditional driving hand gestures, but actually quite good at recieving them. I wasn't sure how safe I was or who was actually driving with one guy huddled over the controls like a nervous wreck, but it did seem like whoever was driving was just learning the rules of the road so that, at least, felt familiar.
Use duct tape.
Seriously it's not rocket surgery guys...
Didnt they have duct tape on the Apollo missions and on the shuttle missions and on the international space station right now? This probably was actual rocket surgery at some point.
