Yeah... Real engineers would call that an engineering problem. Like the kind who have stamps that can cost or preserve lives. You're just showcasing the immatu

  Oh boy, a real engineer is here to tell the immature ones what’s what. First, you made a huge assumption. I never said I approve of how they are doing it. Engineering at the highest level encompasses morality, obviously. But you wooshed real hard on the context of this thread in your rush to get that sweet feeling of moral superiority. I’ll rewind it for you. I was replying to someone claiming they hope Google delivers self-driving first because they see them as executing better at the engineering portion of doing so. Do you see now? If they had said they see them as engineering more ethically and so they hope they win, fine. But they didn’t. Read it again. The context is: is Google’s engineering strategy going to deliver self-driving first? I replied to that. I even called out that you can totally disagree on moral grounds, and I do disagree with much of what they do, so it’s funny to call me out on something I was leaving purposely open as a further topic to discuss. But the context was who would deliver self-driving faster, due strictly to their engineering strategy, I made the case that real world data trumps artificial data. And it does.
