You sound more than a little bit insecure and paranoid.

Someone just walking towards you is a threat?? Jesus, get some psychiatric help you schitzo.

Blundered or outright stole the idea of?

Just because most (all?) of HIS friends are already AI he thinks that will apply to everyone. Talk about out of touch.

Getting out of a car to talk to another driver is delusional now? Unwise maybe especially if the driver is a trigger happy arsehole like that guy was but then no way to know until its too late. Stop blaming the victim.

I'm agnostic but I've had people say they'll pray for me. Doesn't bother me if they want to waste their time talking to no one. You sound a bit of a snowflake frankly.

Well good to know autonomous vehicles will be US only. Thanks for the heads up.

Why not see how well it does in London, Paris, Rome or Delhi in the rush hour with narrow streets, drivers often ignoring the rules, having to push in from a turning as no one will let you in and frequent use of headlights to signal others (can the AI understand that yet?). It'll be lucky to make it to the destination at all in any reasonable time.

"or else we'd see that the people who need 12 hours of sleep a night would measurably live longer."

Not necessarily. The law of diminishing returns kicks in with most things.

"I'm one of the 5 hour a night sleepers"

  5 hours is 60% longer than 3 hours which probably makes a big difference.

"they can just perform at a higher level than we can"

Maybe, but for how long? There are few free lunches in biology, most things come at a price. I wouldn't be surprised if on average these people die younger and/or get more health issues as they age than the norm.

Built in weigh station? Just like they let a human driver tell them how much the truck weighs, no need for 3rd party verification. Oh, wait....

29C in the UK on May 1st after very little rain is a Big Deal. We're not Arizona.

Clearly you don't live here. We've hardly had any rain in 2 months in the east with wall to wall sunshine most days. Completely abnormal weather and yesterday the hottest start to may on record was recorded.

Dunno, like wot do you do like init yeah?

Go find your braincell, I think its run off.
