Comment This is suppose to be new? (Score 1) 148

I jave run my 1999 Ford Ranger for over 2 years on hydrogen, using a hand built HHO dry cell under the hood. Works very well and the truck has over 207000 mile on its 2.5 Ltr 4 cylinder engine. I rarely run out as distilled water and either baking soda or salt is very easily obtained. I can easily turn the gasoline fuel pump back on if I need it.

Submission + - Federal appeals court says Facebook must face renewed privacy lawsuit

robbyyy writes: Facebook has been accused of violating its users rights by tracking users internet activity even after they have logged out of the platform. The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said that users could now pursue them under various privacy and wiretapping laws.

This move opens the door for a potential class action lawsuit against the social media giant, which is still dealing with the legal ramifications of the Cambridge Analytica scandal both in Australia and around the world.

As far as that goes,A few items that seems to be overlooked in the plans for an autonomous car rollout -
1. Who is Liable when there is no human driver,just an AI, in an accident? The Manufacturer? The rider? Who?
2.The robot drivers might be OK for the urban areas,but worse than useless in rural areas where even decent landline phones, reliable electric lines and paved roads are not always available,let alone a wireless grid to help guide the vehicles.
I live in Southeastern Kentucky,which clearly has Third World conditions with infrastructure - with no one in any industry or Government giving a damn nor any plans to improve it anytime soon.
3.Cost - the more features any given vehicle has,the greater the cost and vehicles which barely last long enough to get them paid off before they fall apart.
  I,for one,am not willing to pay $60000 or more for a car or truck that won't last 5 years.
Hell I drive a 19 year old Ford Ranger pickup and don't plan on replacing it anytime in the future.Buses and Public transportation doesn't exist here.What then? back to riding a horse or walking to town? (With me having a prosthetic right leg,that isn't a viable option either)
These MUST BE Answered before you can fully turn loose AI driven cars everywhere.
