Do you want one of the PayPal developers to drive your car?
- cromwellian 11y agoDo you want the guy who launches rockets that travel amazing distances to dock with a space station to make your car? PayPal was a merger of two companies BTW. Judging by the work Google put into WebKit before the fork, Apple didn't even have a rigorous testing coverage, fuzzing, etc IIRC. I wouldn't even trust Google to do the kind of stuff automakers and defense contractors do with respect to verification and testing. Someone else was right, this could only come from their hardware groups like PA Semi and not from the guys who write the apps or OS front end.
- bluthru 11y agoConsidering the developers will have their friends and family use these machines, I believe the incentive is there to get it right. Also, isn't self-driving vehicles a more difficult software challenge than guiding a rocket?
- swiley 11y agoHaving ability is not the same as having incentive. And in this case having ability doesn't just mean "showing that it works" like most people seem to think.
