These speech recognition systems don't really work that well when there's a lot of speakers present, talking over one another. Are these researchers even trying to revolutionize speech recognition? it seems their only goal is to make speech recognition work with one speaker in a silent room and call it a day.

I think the safety margin between a speaker and a car are two entirely different things. If your smart speaker fails to work for you, this does not offer any potential to harm me. I think it's worth putting them into different classes, don't you/

  Research and all tech advancements are done in increments, there's no other way about it. I see no point in tackling rough weather conditions when the basics aren't even finished. Of course for the product to actually hit the roads it needs to be held to a very high standard but that's beside the point. You were criticizing their progress, even though we know they don't have a final product yet and they're probably some ways off. It's like criticizing the Wright Brothers, saying stuff like "meh, they barely were off the ground, who cares"

What does that have to do with self driving cars? These are meant to be used on roads in varied conditions. Your comment isn’t applicable.

  Some conditions don't exist in many places. Someone can have a self-driving car and use it for life in Arizona and it doesn't matter that it wouldn't work in Alaska. It's still progress and still useful to a subset of people. Hell, even a car that works 9 months out of the year in the Northeast would be useful. Don't see too many bikes out when it's -5 degrees but no one is claiming bikes aren't useful.

    To be fair I have seen a large number of people say that bikes aren't useful because they can't perform a supercommute or can't be used when it's below 0.
