Why not? It’s got multiple cameras so could judge distances the same way humans do.
However there have been both hardware and software updates since most of those, so the critical question is how much of a problem is it still? The article had no info or speculation on that
Same goes for the other vehicles. They didn’t even try to cover miles driven and it’s quite likely Tesla has far more miles of self-driving than anyone else.
I’d even go so far as to speculate the zero accidents of other self-driving vehicles could just be zero information because we don’t have enough information to call it zero
In this case, does it matter? Both are supposed to follow a vehicle at a safe distance
I’d be more interested in how it changes over time, as new software is pushed. While it’s important that know it had problems judging distance to a motorcycle, it’s more important to know whether it still does
Yeah, I try regathering my donations to a non-profit that helps but what little I can give is lost in the mess.
It seems like the best option
As long as someone is willing to come in and gets there before it fills up ……
Yeah, there’s that too. A decade or more ago, our local paper ran an expose on the scammers, but they kept it reasonably constructive, giving equal space to strategies for identifying those in actual need.
For my teens, I kept it simple
Same here on a few bad experiences trying to help
Realistically, it doesn’t matter anymore since I almost never have cash. They seem to know that world has gone too, as I’m rarely solicited anymore
If we want to cherry pick …. Here in the US, i switched over to gigabit symmetrical over pandemic, but fiber has been available from three providers at that speed over a decade. Of course IPv6 has been “in progress” for that decade, with no sign of progress
I’m not entirely sure what this style even is - wouldn’t this same argument apply to Apple’s “Memoji” that has been out a few years?
Life begins at conception! Or before. A chicken fetus is a chicken, an unfertilized egg is a potential chicken fetus
You can dislike pedophiles and dog hunter yet still recognize some asshole doing it out of inflamed self-righteousness with no regard for evidence, human rights, due process is not the right solution. If even the legal system with all its checks and balances gets things wrong so often, what can you expect from some asshole out for blood?
The criminal justice system is meant to not only seek justice for victims, keep us safe from predation…… well yes vigilantism is another form of predation. Their self-righteousness doesn’t absolve their guilt. Heck, at least most pedophiles don’t try to defend themselves as doing their job right thing
Vigilantism is just a sign that government has become too corrupt to deal with problems effectively.
Or a sign that government is the problem as politicians resort more to divisiveness, hatred, bigotry and scapegoating to capture more extreme voters. Politicians stoke the outrage, inflame some groups against others, call for ending the rights of those they’ve marginalized, and even pardon those who committed treason in the name of fake vigilantism, based on manipulation and misrepresentation
Counterpoint, Imagine a dystopia belonging to transit …… https://m.imdb.com/title/tt6156584/plotsummary/
According to the Saga of Erik the Red, Erik spent his three years of exile exploring this land. … When Erik returned to Iceland after his exile had expired, he is said to have brought with him stories of “Greenland”. Erik purposefully gave the land a more appealing name than “Iceland” as “people would be attracted to go there if it had a favorable name”, per Erik’s own words.[19][20] Erik knew that the success of any settlement in Greenland would need the support of as many people as possible. Erik’s salesmanship of Greenland proved successful in…. as 1,043 years later a widely reviled politician who insisted he never he’d close personal relations with a couch, was quoted to exclaim in surprise “it’s fucking cold up there. Nobody told me that”
I have taken calls while loading my dryer, and it’s fucking stupid to not wait. I took advantage of advanced technology called a “pocket” to carry my “mobile” device
I did say yes, but they’re 19 and at college …… there’s no point in objecting when they’re at home
Epic 1,000 year troll!!! This guy should be a legend, a myth, a story that should have sagas written
That would require learning a piece of a language other than English …. He’d be an illegal immigrant, hardened criminal, gang member. That mascara is a sure sign of Tren de Aragua membership
As a techno-optimist, I always expected self-driving to quickly become safer than human, at least in relatively controlled situations. However I’m at least as much a pessimist of human nature and the legal system.
Given self-driving vehicles demonstrably safer than human, but not perfect, how can we get beyond humans taking advantage, and massive liability for the remaining accidents?
They are. I’m sure there are policies against discussing confidential actions on commercial services. I’m sure there are approved services they could have used, that there is security policy to use. I’m sure no external people would have been allowed to I’m sure they’re monitored for various leaking data. I’m sure there is someone accountable for making it so.
It’s not just that these are dumbasses who made a stupid mistake, but they are almost certainly so convinced of their own superiority that they don’t have to follow policies that everyone else does, policies that prevent stupid mistakes like this.
The real problem is they are above the law. They are royalty not accountable to any rules or ethics. That’s the real problem.
Edit: I’m also sure there are data retention policies to ensure things are auditable for treason, spying, illegal operations. Another reason they may have for using signal is to escape potential scrutiny, escape any responsibility for their actions, by using a service that’s not managed, not monitored, has no accountability. These people should not be allowed in charge of a loaf of bread’
And how did it compare self-driving time or miles? Because on the surface if Tesla is responsible for 5 such accidents and Ford zero, but Tesla has significantly more than five times the self-driving time or miles, then we just don’t have data yet …… and I see an announcement that Ford expects full self driving in 2026, so it can’t have been used much yet
