Which... checks notes... we don't have.
In 2012 the idea of self-driving cars was almost ridiculous, let alone dedicated infrastructure for them. We've had some research papers, and some initiatives have been proposed. I agree that my prediction wasn't "correct", but it was usefully close.
Claude:
Let me think about this step by step:
Let's examine what's impossible first:
The biggest possible volume we can have is 7 gallons (both buckets full)
We can't directly measure 7 gallons since neither bucket has that capacity
However, since we have 2 and 5 gallon buckets, we can't measure 7 gallons in one step. We'll need to add multiple measurements.
Let's solve it:
First, fill the 5-gallon bucket (5 gallons)
Then fill the 2-gallon bucket (2 gallons)
When both buckets are full, we have exactly 7 gallons
So the solution is quite straightforward: Simply fill both buckets completely, and you'll have 7 gallons total.
Would you like me to explore any other possible methods or explain why this approach is the most efficient?

Here’s a fully self-driving ‘train’ (really an articulated bus with a guide rail; it has tyres) from 1983: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lille_Metro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lille_Metro Now, you might cry foul at the guiderail, but if you have the dedicated infrastructure, why _not_ include the guiderail? It’s when you don’t have dedicated infrastructure that you have a problem.
