Just ask it to find and fix the bug! I suspect bugs like this will become less common as the model is tweaked or additional compute time is given to "reflect" on the response and check for logical consistency.

Question: Would the write to substring[6] cause an error?

Answer: Yes, the write to substring[6] in the code you have provided would cause an error, because the substring array is only defined to have a length of 6, so attempting to write to the seventh element (substring[6]) would overrun the bounds of the array and result in undefined behavior.

To avoid this issue, the code could be modified to ensure that the substring array has a length of 7, so that the null-terminator character can be safely written to substring[6] without overrunning the bounds of the array. This could be done by changing the definition of the substring array to the following:

char substring[7];

...when cars like these are being sold for nothing due to the cost of battery replacement, that I can get my hands on one. I wonder what it will weigh when all the batteries and motors are removed and replaced with a large displacement V8.

Found your problem there. You're obviously using windows.

This is slashdot, so I'm not surprised you'd be unable to make a conclusion that requires you to think about things in a light other than white or black. I'll spell it out for you. What Apple's good at is not necessarily always coming up with an original idea, but at making an idea or feature actually easy to use. Let me repeat that, so you get it. They're good at making technology easy to use. Got it? What good is a device or application that has every feature you could imagine or want, yet no one understands how to use it, what the feature is, why it matters to them, or how to find it? The current state of user interface on windows and linux is so bad, that Apple probably doesn't even have to try that hard to make something that isn't crap in comparison. So rather than looking down upon every person you feel isn't capable of "dealing" with the complicated windows world, consider most would rather their computers just fucking work. Hope that helps.

Can't they just tax the fucking fuel?

Oh, wait...

I'd have been just as likely to push it to the floor when I fell asleep asleep as to let up on it, cruise control or not.

I admit though, I have no idea which one I did. All I know is I was driving, then I woke up in the woods with a seatbelt bruise and a cloud of smoke.

Pinned in the car? You mean like when the door latch failed in the Smart's pathetic 30mph side impact test?

Thanks for the vid. I enjoyed watching all those Smarts get destroyed...

But if the head of the dummy strikes the steering wheel in a 40mph frontal crash test, God help you if you're doing 55, or 70 which is the interstate speed limit in most of the US. I once fell asleep at the wheel in a Dodge Intrepid doing 70mph, ran off the road and hit a tree. I walked away with barely a scratch. I think the story would have ended differently in a Smart.

And the side impact test? 30mph, and their simulation of a truck or SUV is a joke. In the real world, the bumper height of those trucks is significantly higher than their test rig. And I am not impressed at all by the fact that I might live through a 30mph side impact in a Smart. My '71 Ford Maverick could protect me from that, and the only safety feature that thing is a brake pedal.

Rear impact test... "Simulating forces in a stationary vehicle rear-ended by another vehicle of the same weight at 20mph." What a joke! There is no other road legal car in the US in that weight class!

I'm from the southern US, therefore my weight is about the same as a Smart Fortwo. And 20mph is about the amount of force that my wheezing American body can muster up in a good solid kick. So why not just let me ram my size 12 steel toe boot up it's ass. That would be just about as useful as the rear-end crash test this thing scored so well on.

Preach it, brother... This is why I drive a 38 year old car, and I will continue to drive old cars until they're illegal, at which time I will become a criminal.

Computer controlled steering of any type is a scary idea. These innovations are good, and need to happen, but the number 1 design feature needs should be graceful failover to human control, and the ability for the driver to turn it off. I just don't see that happening on any kind of drive-by-wire system, or steering of the type described above.

If computers always did what they were told, and always knew better than me, I (like many of you) would have a completely different career.

Also, "front-wheel drive" is a bug, not a feature.
