The result of natural/evolutionary selection? Would be interesting to know if there are different types of dandelions (I mean the part used to "fly") used by the same type of seed, each type adapted/optimized for a parti

Thx for the check-link :) I understand in general that only "pure" facebook users were impacted and that "WhatsApp" users aren't? (not sure how integrated WhatsApp is with the Facebook infrastructure - I do use What

So, once everybody owns a self-driving car or at least one with auto-breaking, nobody would have to use the egyptian "pick a car"-method as people would just cross the street knowing that the cars would just break/stop on the

Do standard tests/certifications exist that grant certain L1/2/3/4/5 levels? (something like e.g. Euro X or WLTP) I don't think so (never heard of) but I might be wrong. I can imagine that they would be very co

I just had a look for the first time at the description of levels 4 and 5 here ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-driving_car#Levels_of_dri... ). The definition of level 5 being "under all roadway and environmenta

Interesting point of view - this might be the real end result of the implementation of such automation. Still, some details will be tricky to solve... .

Well, it's probably all about details. If I see rocks I can e.g. drive around them, judge if they're really too big for my car, drive on the sidewalk, etc.. => all these options are really complicated to program. Current cars d

I'm looking forward at the handling of the "corner cases" related to society. E.g. somebody that wants to rob you could just stand in front of your car (or put some small obstacle) knowing that the car will stop (to avoid dam

Mmmhh, Audi is Volkswagen (and Audi's cars were involved as well in the emissions scandal), so I'm kind of sceptic about their credibility (meaning "let's not forget too quickly"). As they have as well a direct inte

Again, "teleportation" would be a "speculative" patent (you have thought about the concept but didn't present anything that works). If you would/could take ownership of only its "concept" then I would

Thanks for the link. I'm personally very conflicted about patents. In this specific case I classify it as a "speculative" patent => I'm totally against this it. Patents should be allowed only for something that exists

Yes, but probably only in general (meaning only from a theoretical point of view without considering external forces)? E.g. as soon as the cable has headwind (in the opposite way of the planet's rotation) the cable would slack off, the
