The choice is about releasing version 1.0 vs constantly adding features that are better suited for versions 2, 3, 4+. What can be done now, at reasonable cost and technology level? My position is that we could have a system right now th

I don't think any of those examples are edge cases. The first set are normal traffic conditions that in the context of self-driving cars are easy to solve, especially in narrowed conditions such as on a highway. Moreover, mid-range c

I think a more fundamental problem here is that self-driving cars are as much an infrastructure problem as they are a technological one. As an analogy, consider hybrid vs electric vehicles. In places like North America with large, open spa

Well done! Plain and easy to understand interface and excellent use of colour and space. Two suggestions: 1. While I doubt it'll be used very much, consider adding calories for completeness if nothing else: 1000 kcal -> joules

Interesting. As far as I can tell though, it doesn't seem to account for humidity, pollution or wind patterns. The former is especially important for hot climates (or times of the year) since when it comes to comfort, hot dry >>

A unique alias is fine in circumstances such as the one you've given--my point is about account creation and logins. There is no reason you can't use an email as a login and then require the user to give a unique alias to use in their URL.

UI issue: Why do I need to come up with yet another username? I've never understood why websites don't just let username == email with an optional alias. I understand that OpenID or ClickPass might not be worth implementing but in my vie
