If Google's 25mph car is able to slam on the brakes and avoid an incident without swerving or taking other action then it could be argued that once we move to a fully autonomous society, 25mph (example; may not be accurate but for the

What's stopping a victim from paying the ransom and still going public and asserting that the ransomer didn't decrypt the hard drive which hurts the reputation (ha!) of the ransomer and causes other people not to pay? This might b

Another way to improve the accident rate is the other side of the robocar argument wherein we, as humans, do a better job of driving and of watching/educating our kids. I understand there are rules of the road and rights-of-way but a r

I'd like to think the founding fathers were some of the smartest and most forward-thinking people of their time and they most certainly assumed that eventually people would need these protections. This is tantamount to the 2nd amendmen

Not only this but can you be charged with destruction of evidence if there's no feasible way to prove that what's in the safe can actually incriminate you in a crime? In other words, if you don't know what's in the safe

Wiping phone data isn't a crime unless it's done during part of an investigation where that specific data was already targeted. This is like saying if I delete a note from my notes app then I've destroyed evidence because at

An hour wait at Magic Mountain nowadays seems to be the norm moreso than the exception. Have you been there in the summer when X2 has had waits in the 2-3 hour range WITHOUT a Flash Pass? This still occurs and the ride is over 12 years old

I don't think we agree on what "autonomous" means. Preprogramming a flight path to follow doesn't meet the definition of autonomous nor does autopilot following waypoints. Autonomous, at least to me, means the drone take

You are correct and I don't think sitting in the pilot's seat but not having your hands on the controls qualifies as "unmanned." Again, UAVs are not computer-flown. They're remotely piloted. They are not completely

"Drone" covers all UAVs/RPVs whether small enough to fit on your palm or large enough to need a full size air strip to launch. All UAVs are drones and all drones are UAVs. Not all drones are quadcopters but all quadcopters ar

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of deliberate tampering. The tech is not flawless and this kind of outcome is really not fair to either side. The camera only shows 1 point of view and if for X reasons it is used to judge the off
