Yep, some incidents may be caused by human drivers being extra aggressive around the waymo. I work in this industry and this definitely happens. That said, weird / unexpected braki…

I was hit by this exact scam this weekend. Hilariously, they didn't even get the photo right, and sent me a picture of some neighborhood I had never seen.

This is all correct. Stats lie. Crime is an extremely localized issue, so it's easy for people to handwave away if they are in an area that doesn't experience it.

Agree, this thing would get shredded by small arms. If it's going into combat zones, it will probably be in a drone configuration.

Probably two reasons for this: 1. Mitigate traffic increases 2. Make anti car zealots happy

It is common for practitioners of Muai Thai and other kickboxing styles to harden their shins by whacking them with hard objects, or rolling something hard like a bottle across the…

Yeah, it would be a small advantage at best. Leg kicks very rarely break bones, usually they rely on causing pain and damage to tissue. And surgery will result in lost training tim…

Some background here: in the autonomous vehicles world, it's common to split things up into 'perception' (detecting things around the car and creating a world model), 'planning' (d…

Well, this took place in canada. That said, amazon warehouse employees have no leverage and are easy to fire, which I suspect leads to a culture of 'follow the rules or else'.

I think you are ignoring CO2 emissions. Off road vehicles produce a large amount of pollution (particulate , etc) but are a smaller contributor when it comes to greenhouse gas.

Maybe those players hve stopped spending money in the cash shop though ?

True but, angle grinders make a lot if noise and very conspicuous sparks. Of course thieves will still do it if they can get away with it, but it’s not a very quick or stealthy met…

Every case is different , but Parkinson’s is often associated with severe dementia that can manifest fairly quickly. I saw this happen to a close family member unfortunately.

What no-code tools are you using?

The idea is that remote operators help get the car unstuck, but the car should always be able to avoid collisions on its own. I think these cars are supposed to pull over as well i…

Yeah, I’ve wondered if Cruise and Waymo get tickets for this stuff. But if they do, paying them is probably not a big expense for these large companies.

I don’t know if Cruise cars stop if cell connection is lost or not. However the remote operator can help unstuck the car. So it could be the car got stuck for some other reasons an…

It’s not hard, use a tow truck. But getting a tow truck to every incident (especially in the bay area, not know for functional towing services) is the hard part. Since there’s no d…

Technically I don’t think it’s resold, as google hasn’t bought the data from anyone. But I think what the author meant is that Google also uses the data for ads, etc and then sells…

He made the offer impulsively without due diligence, then got cold feet when the market dropped. Real genius business moves

It’s actually much easier to remotely pilot a drone than a car for a few reasons: - Cars operate very close to obstacles, at any given time, you are only seconds from hitting somet…

Waymo and Cruise both have remote operators who can remotely unstuck cars. AFAIK they can’t drive the cars directly, but the they can give override commands, reset software, or mak…

Not a metallurgist but — my understanding is that pure iron weapons are quite inferior to bronze. Pure iron is very soft and ductile. It would not hold an edge well and is easily b…

Both are right, they just mess you up in different ways.

This is very true. Having worked in trades, nearly everyone develops back or other physical problems.
