This. Driverless cars work on the easiest roads and the mistakes they make are ones that humans wouldn't make. They also currently have humans as a failsafe if they do behave strangely. The stats would be very different if we just sent

I don't see any moral issue until Amazon indicates it made a mistake and is actually asking for the return of the goods or for more money. I haven't seen them do that. Maybe their intention was to provide a great deal to their cus

Buying just because the market is going up fast is a bad idea for anything so if you didn't already hold bitcoin buying now because the market is going up is foolish. You'd be buying in at the highest price for a year. Doesn'

It's still incredibly complex. Reliably handling an area like downtown SF requires a robot to detect, understand and predict a lot of diverse human behavior. All the edge cases lead me to think there will be a supervisory driver in the

Industrial robotics are very well constrained and the environment can be adapted to them which is why they're successful. Was thinking more about consumer robotics of which robo vacuum is the only real autonomous product right now. IMO
