Who would've thought we'd yearn for the days of "dumb" systems that operated without issue and displayed your song media?

Lots of people. I am sorry that you were lead astray by marketers, but people have always loved tools that do one thing and do it very well. A car is a tool. It is mostly used to get a person from here to there. The more stuff you add to that, the more expensive each trip is to make. In this particular instance, the cost is my attention. I do not want to pay. I want to get from here to there without any other issues nagging at me.

I frequently drive with no audio stimulation whatsoever. The act of driving itself is a pleasure that needs no distractions. I also do not need ANY navigation at all. I do like having maps so that I can know where I am, but *I* am the one who decides how to get there. I very rarely need to use a map.

Why does America have 150,000 drivers who can't be trusted to not drink and drive?

America has millions, but only 150k currently under orders. Let me know which country has solved the drunk driving problem. America could then model its programs after that country's programs to achieve higher compliance. Humans are the same everywhere.

And why are they allowed a licence?

Because revoking a license essentially revokes a person's ability to support themselves. Do you want to dump 150k onto the welfare roles in one shot? How about the year over year count of people getting convicted of DWI/DUI? Do you REALLY want that many people to be unable to support themselves in your society? We have plenty of homeless folks already, do we really need to add to that population?

I think this should be ruled unconstitutional.

There are plenty of things going on right now that are unconstitutional. Why would this situation be handled any differently? Asses need paper to wipe with. Feel free to give them more paper for that purpose.

So, your comment is bullshit and you know it. MAGA moron, you can't even log in so you're just a troll.

It is impossible to post a reply without being logged in. The reason they are "Anonymous" is that they chose to hide their identity... which should tell you all you need to know about conversing with "Anonymous" here.

It's not in the interest of anyone living outside or inside of the USA to buy these cars.

It has been known since I was a child not to buy American made vehicles. I am honestly shocked the American vehicle manufacturers still exist. Even with two bailouts from the government, all the manufacturers should still have gone out of business.

Comment Re:Where would training come from? (Score 1) 159

Training doesn't mean anything at all when discussing logic and math. You either perform the math correctly or do not do any math at all. AI can not do math. Sure, it can spit out math answers if it has seen that exact equation before, but that is not the result of doing math, it is the result of seeing it before and reproducing it.

AI can not do programming. What mechanism would allow it to be a reliable programmer? Math and logic are absolutely required for writing new programs or rewriting older programs.

Why is there such a braindead push to have AI write programs? It literally can not work. LLMs alone will never be "good enough".

I am not saying AI will never write good code, I am saying that LLMs are not even really AI. They are very neat things to play with though. They just can't write programs effectively.

Pepsi products don't magically go up in price during the lunch rush nor does Ice cream change price based on the temperature rising outside. We don't do stuff like that. We never have.

Just wait until greed says it is a good idea. "Never have, never will" is utter bullshit... except maybe for 7-up and caffeine... but greed has not investigated that yet.

The bars are designated to break easily when forced by a car, but somehow in a stressful situation drivers regard them as sacrosanct.

They are following the rules. The rules say that the arms are an impassable barrier. Sure, the arms CAN be broken, but people who follow the rules will not even try. That is why Fascism can so easily slip into your country without any resistance.

Whatever that is. Elon Musk is a fraud, Elon Musk has contribute no innovations to "physical engineering" or "industrial" technology. You lies are an insult to those who have.

While I generally agree with you, I do disagree with you: Elon Musk brought attention, money, and engineering to spaceflight and electric vehicles. Bill Gates didn't. Warren Buffet didn't. Jeff Bezos tried to do the spaceflight thing, but only because Elon Musk was already doing it. In short, every millionaire and billionaire was busy hoarding money, not doing anything interesting with it.
