And how exactly it was software's fault ?
- dools 3y agoIt's not, it's an illustration of the variability faced riding "electric scooters etc." versus controlling a space shuttle: > People riding electric scooters and etc will run into more variability each day than NASA will in a whole mission. > I crashed and broke my back on a two wheeled scooter in SF due to a pedestrian walking on a red don’t walk sign, for example.
- ok_dad 3y agoYes, the point is that even without bad software, the world is a dangerous place. Better to not have unsafe, unstable, dangerous vehicles to compound that. It was part my fault and part the pedestrians fault that I crashed, but the real cause was the instability of the platform. If I had been on a bike, I’m certain I could have stopped or avoided the pedestrian.
