This is such a ridiculous argument. Owning and flying a helicopter is no where near the same thing as owning and driving a car. It's not even worth it to entertain such a ridiculous comparison.

Your take is so off the mark it points to a good bit of ignorance on your part. The mount of resources involved in training a legally viable model are enormous and well out of reach of any individual or even group of individuals trying to open source the problem. Also, Nvidias tool is a research tool. It's not retail software meant to give you the power of a self driving car. Alpamayo says as much on their git repo.

So no, this is in no way a "simple" technology and it is not within reach of the average person to implement.

Don't play dumb, you know exactly what you wrote. Having self-driving "forced" upon you is a literal ban on driving.

I still don't believe that self-driving technology will ever bee available to privately owned vehicles. I think it will all be a subscription service that you will have to buy into in order to have transportation. That's their endgoal.

People are delusional if they think the public will just allow these companies to ban human drivers. You think banning guns was difficult? Car insurers who try this shit will soon find their CEO's Luigi'd.

It will make me more valuable as I grow older.

Who cares?

Trump probably already shopped around for a favorable court.

So we'll have precedent to sue the oil companies when the courts rule in favor of Tru.... I mean the "plaintiffs".

I mean he's literally just a kid. I don't think we need to go so far as to dream up conspiracies about him. I keep reminding people that just because these guys are smart doesn't mean that they're smart about everything. Remember the Google engineer who thought Google's Ai was conscious? They're all really gullible.

Someone else pointed out that I misread your context. I assumed you were talking about energy prices.

Ah good point. I misread the context.

I'm in San Francisco and my monthly bills have doubled in the past 2 years.

SpaceX already gets massive amounts of tax payer money.

Now the question to ask is which of these poor technologies, that has been treated so unfairly, does Trump and his buddies have money invested in?
