The topic you are debating, I can't relate to the article. Can you clarify?

The reasoning you are using seems to be popular - I found something similar on a page about Waymo. If an autonomous driving system clearly prevented or would have prevented a crash that happened to a human, then that's one life saved,

How it is important context? The article isn't about LIDAR. And if LIDAR is the wrong way to go for technical reasons, then if she pushes for better autonomous driving technology, she is working against her supposed interests.

Is that risky? There are something like 230 million licensed drivers. So if I was the non-existent "average driver" with no control over risk, it seems to me I should expect a fatal accident roughly once every 100 lifetimes. Or ev

If there's just one tier, but it doesn't include what I'd expect, then I'd be even less happy than if there are more tiers - but they probably will get around to adding them.

When someone says "it is much easier...than it was 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago" I think they are expressly referring to it being easier for ordinary people and not "rich capitalists". Do you not think that rich

I agree that "translating" what they are trying to say could result in accurate conclusions. But I don't see what that has to do with my comment. Are you explicitly a radical behaviorist, or do you think animals have intern

If we decide that it does, then conveniently there's no way for the animals to dispute it. I had the same reaction to the idea of legal personhood for natural features of the landscape. Am I too jaded?
