wiffleball 4,647 Posted March 19, 2018 Failure is the soil in which innovation grows. It wasn't hard to see this coming. But things will get fixed, things will get better and change and Technology will do what they always do, march on. Albeit maybe not as quickly as some had projected or as feverishly as others had anticipated. Now, cue the Breathless over-reaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted March 19, 2018 Imagine how the safety assistant guy or whatever behind the wheel feels. Dude basically just watched a murder happen kinda sorta by his own vehicle. In fact Ill bet he was driving and made up the self driving mode story to get out of it. No it wasnt me, the car was in self driving mode so Im not liable!

Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted March 19, 2018 So self driving cars assume people crossing streets have common sense? It should probably avoid ghettos although I'm certain it's probably got those parameters locked in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,647 Posted March 19, 2018 I remember when Houston got its so-called light rail. Every time there's a wreck they talked about investigating to see who is at fault. Gee, I don't know the thing that can't swerve? The thing the triggers lights and bells every time it comes to a intersection? Yeah I'm sure its at fault. Remember how blind people were all pissed off when the Prius came out because they couldn't hear it coming? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
