Too much ice

Just read that Gregory Bovino will retire at the end of this month.

Good riddance the bad rubbish.

I remember the news report of testing driverless cars with safety drivers riding along. One safety driver got distracted, and the car ran over a woman in a crosswalk who had the right of way (she didn’t die).

I also recall a report on the testing of driverless semis with safety drivers riding along. While being filmed for the report, the safety driver was very attentive. Are current safety drivers as attentive?

Given the hiccups with driverless cars, are we really ready for 80,000 lb driverless semis (outside of Texas)?

doesn't sound much worse than the current drivers. The anecdotal stories of AI don't bother me, because humans do a really good job of that on there on, and are getting worse.

I would like to see a substantial study, that probably isn't even possible right now, comparing a decent number of both human and AI vehicles and how they do in the real world and compare them.

3.5 out of 100,000 AI vehicles crashing doesn't scare me much if the average is 5 out of 100,000 human driven vehicles.

“Fascist regimes shrink and ultimately collapse due to inherent, unsustainable flaws: aggressive militarism leading to devastating foreign wars, economic instability from forced autarky (self-sufficiency), and the destruction of domestic institutions that creates brittle, unpopular governance
. These regimes collapse when military failure meets internal revolt”

you can have the same breakdown for any autocratic government. the USSR fell pretty much the exact same way.

You ready to pay for that?

I am wondering about some true AI systems, all privately funded.

AI/robotic built and maintained road, AI vehicles driving on it and paying a toll. keeps them separated from the idiots.

Yes it did.
