Who's at fault in those crashes?

Hint: a lot of crashes with fully self driven vehicles is because they actually obey traffic laws in places where locals are used to not doing so.

Smells come from antisocials. Normal people wash and wear mild deodorant (if not east asian, in which case they just wash).

Usage of public transit is fundamentally limited by antisocial people.

No one wants to be on the same bus as a black guy going "I'm going to kill this white girl" and then stab you in the neck. No one wants his wife, daughter, mother, etc to be Iryna. No one wants them to be that girl that got burned alive either. Or any other of the countless public transit statistics.

That is the problem with public transit, and that's why it's usage is now suffering in Europe as well.

So that is a whole different problem, completely unrelated to the problem of self driving. Self driving primarily replaces one's own driving. It's not for the people so poor, that they can't escape the antisocials.

But you can't, because Waymos drive drunks and octogenerians. That means you have to factor them in in a world where both are banned from driving, but drive anyway because "human factor".

Just like you have to factor in the "AI factor" with Waymos, such as AI just having a momentary aberration at a critical moment. It's just that there's a whole lot more of A than B.

I suspect this is because Waymo uses a narrow very high definition model of its driving environment. I.e. they are really, REALLY good at areas they know, but it's a lot of effort to expand the area where they are good.

It's the opposite approach of "wide lower resolution" model that Tesla uses. This is why Tesla's FSD works in most places in Western nations, but it will probably have more problems.

Tesla FSD basically offers you a mode to break the law, because in many areas, breaking traffic laws is a norm and it's actually less safe to be the only one following the speed limit, not overtaking agressively and so on.

The idea is that most drivers are aware of local driving culture, and can adjust as needed. You can be in Mad Max mode in Miami, and strictly law abiding in a German village.

The punishment is that since its FSD supervised, any punishments from selecting wrong kind of mode and letting it stay on as you observe it driving against local driving culture is that you are responsible for fines. Just as you would have been if you drove like that yourself. Just like any manager supervising things that do wrong things under your supervision.

They are in cities. Waymos don't drive highways all that much to my understanding.

And yes, humans are very good on average. But difference between (for example, number for illustration purposes only) 99.9% good and 99.99% good when it comes to millions of crashes every year is a meaningful number.

In Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001, the computer HAL 900 was given a goal. To reach that goal, he cut off the life support of 3 humans and killed. Would today's AI do the same if it had the power? Someone in the future will, perhaps inadvertently, give AI that power

This is actor worship, the new cult that appeared in the 1950s originated intentionally from Hollywood.

Normal human societies correctly identify that people who lie about everything, including everything about themselves for money are practicing a type of prostitution, and treat and have treated actors accordingly throughout human history.

In case of books, middlemen were horrifically abundant. Publisher, editor, official state censor/today's sensitivity reader.

Direct self publishing removed most of those, and now published, edited and officially state censored/sensitivity read "best sellers" sell five digit copies on a good release.

Meanwhile there are more book reading happening than ever, mainly on the back on direct self publishing which bypasses all of those.

Actors fundamentally are just middle men between the story teller and the audience. Generative video and audio AI like many IT developments is removing middle men from the relationship.

I lived in Miami for seven years. It needs no disguise to be Vice City. My father-in-law, who arrived many years before I did before said" Law and order came recently to this town and never really caught on."

It is wonderful for this individual. I am happy for him, but it means that an unidentified person will not receive a kidney. We have not reduced the death rate from kidney disease simply shifted it from one individual to another. Hopefully, in the long term, we will be able to make permanent pig kidney transplants.

You may want to consult other replies, where your side openly brags that they get to do that because he did racism and shiet.

Sir, your side has shot the man who demonstrated how left's ideas don't hold up in debates in the neck on front of his children.

And then your types are on the record going into the streets singing "we got Charlie in the neck" and other similar heinous shit.

Sit down.
