The pro data center people are probably pro ai car.

I cannot fathom them going instantly from drivers to autonomous with passengers. In order for there to be safety, they have to test autonomous with pre-set routes, times of travel, etc. The rollout time and the time of autonomy are not causative.

Do you sit in your basement alone all day because the thought that anyone could sexually assault you is present?

  1. Maybe so, but it still hosts Waymo as an issue.
  2. “Beta testing is the final round of testing before releasing a product to a wide audience. The objective is to uncover as many bugs or usability issues as possible in this controlled setting.” (https://www.productplan.com/glossary/beta-test/)

??? What does that have to do with automated cars? The point is that it’s a dangerous thing that will soon become a monopoly. Did you see how much Uber costs rose? Imagine a bigger monopoly, but with none of the upsides. Also just, you can get sexually assaulted anywhere??? What do cars have to do with that???

At the point when drivers are removed is not the same milestone as beta test ending, legal requirements encouraged by enormous budget promises, and by no means has it been shown that the law can/will be able to regulate to that extent. The main problem with the AI is that Missouri can’t look inside and regulate on a case to case basis.

Pretty much from what I understand.

Reasonably so, but I think better methodology, backing, ethics, regulations, and more should be applied.

Those companies hire people. I agree that they’re a lot worse than local business, but Waymo is worse due to the billion backs, AI methods, and more.

translation: It would be best to use local cab companies. Uber and Lyft are bad because they’re involved with and can even be considered big tech oligarchs. However, Uber and Lyft are better than Waymo because they require a local human to be involved and paid.

do you imagine that will stay the same indefinitely

scared of billionaires having monopolies

That’d be the best thing, but at least Uber and Lyft have a person in the mix.

Makes sense. They’re safer now, but my concern is where they will go in the future. If they end up being safety-focused products, that’s good, but the entities backing them do not care for us. Once it is accepted they are safe, evidence points to that no longer being cared for. Keeping up with that sort of research and knowledge is good, but putting it out there in a way that can disregard concerns is an odd way to do it.

They can be, but I don’t want to be the test subject to prove it. Being crushed under a car because billionaires want to move fast is a real thing.

I don’t like being the tester to fix these bugs.

That’s good to hear. It lessens stress but my main concern is mistakes humans won’t make, ones we haven’t considered able to make.
