I'd say it was human interaction. The AV is a black box that calmly goes about its business, after a few hours you're probably inclined to trust it. A human learner, on the other hand, is a bundle of shakes and nerves and jerks an

Trucks already have these kind of audible warnings when vehicles or cyclists are in their blind spot. The problem in Tempe was that the car did not recognise the pedestrian, so how could it be relied upon to warn the driver? Perhaps a bette

I'm not on Facebook's side here but if you have to consider deletes in a large storage system then you have to consider fragmentation. I implemented a storage system similar to Facebook's Haystack (which they use for photos a

I can understand this happening if the Tesla was following a human driver with “follow-distance set to minimum,” and that driver dodged the barrier, meaning the Tesla had no time to brake and could not move out of the solid-white lines. Acc

I dunno, I see a lot better than my dashcam sees stuff in similar conditions. Whether a human would've seen her or not is besides the point, really - the car is supposed to be fitted with sensors that don't rely on visible light,

That doesn't make the effort required of a developer to remove an existing JS dependency any easier, though, other than allowing them to see how the site breaks which can already be done using the F12 dev tools. A lot of sites rely on

Interesting wording in that paragraph too. The quoted extract says "the transmission, between OR among points" yet the following sentence refers to ""points" between AND among." That subtle change allows them t
