- bagels 2y agoWould that be better accepted by the public or robot buyer?
- rangestransform 2y agoThe entire built environment to date is designed for humans It’s the same reason why companies are throwing money at a self driving car which can coexist with manually driven cars, rather than building roads specifically for autonomy
- dexwiz 2y agoWhy build autonomous roads? Just invest in modern railways at that point.
- rangestransform 2y agoBecause building anything infrastructure related in the US, especially for rail, is a such a Sisyphean task that it might actually be cheaper to just build an autonomous vehicle
- cryptonector 2y agoWhat's that got to do with vision? They could have given it more cameras to avoid having to have a head to turn. That was OP's point.
- SauntSolaire 2y agoThey're responding to the person recommending octopus robots, not the vision comment.
