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 braking is a frequent problem for self driving cars too.

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 bone. Sparring and hitting the heavy bag also harden your b

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 time, plus the risk of something going wrong long term...

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' (deciding what to do), and 'cont

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.

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 method. Picking the lock, in the other hand, is pretty fast and

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.

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 instead of blocking traffic. Key word here being “supposed to

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 and then ROs couldn’t help.

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 driver present and the controls are presumably locked, you c

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 it.

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 something. This means you need extremely high reliability and low

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 make the car follow a manually set path. They probably can’t ma

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 bent - to the point that some sources say they would need to

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.

Legged-robot technology is still very immature, even more so when the rover was designed. Wheels work well on relatively flat Martian terrain and are a lot less likely to break than robot legs. Interestingly the latest Mars rover also inclu

I agree with this. Screen sharing is a very effective way to transfer knowledge — I have had a lot of success by hopping onto a screen share and walking others through things. There is lots of room for questions and they can record/rev

How did they control for non-racial differences in the bots? In the thumbnail the Black bot looks more trustworthy (to me) because the white bot looks like a creepy baby.

I suspect the tesla went under the truck in this case, chopping the top off. I doubt other passenger cars would have done better :/

There are no drones in service (that I know of) that are designed for air to air combat - they are designed to attack ground targets.
