I watched that for about 5 minutes. In that time it nearly hit three parked cars, grossly overcorrected on three turns and blew at least one stop sign.

So about the same skill level as 40% of human drivers.

Yeah it's a pain in the rear end for those of us admins of other agencies who are on old versions of vSphere and still rely on the VMWare flash client. You can try adjusting a mms.cfg file or use the thick client for 6.0 and before but if you try to access it now, you just get a giant button that leads you to the flash page where they say they will not have downloads any more.

You probably have lots of automation in your home. Thermostats, garage door openers, dishwashers, and even self-closing spring hinges are “home automation” in some sense. It’s just that when a particular piece of automation is really useful and relatively cheap, it stops being “home automation technology” and starts being part of the baseline for what we expect in a home.

My friend's mom made him only play with one Transformer at a time while the rest had to stay in their boxes. You had to put it back in the box when you were done playing with it. We knew it was a stupid thing but we had to do it.

Well we've got badly self-driving cars, would you like one of those instead?

The thing is, the average driver is pretty bad in our area. I joke that a computer controlling the wheel can't be that much different than a human who is a bad driver on the same streets, but it's not completely a joke. Maybe there's a survey or stats that show the difference between computer controlled car deaths vs human controlled car deaths in an area (although there aren't many fully automated cars on the road now, skewing those results.)

But yes, I consider reliable self-driving cars to be the epitome of technology that I hope to see before I die. I'm not getting teleportation, I'm not getting warp drive. Maybe 3D printer food replication, but not Star Trek style replication. So if I get a self-driving car that I can actually turn on and use, anything past that is just lagniappe.

Just like with pretty much any other car, you need to keep your hands on the wheel for autopilot to keep functioning, unless you're defeating it with weights or similar implements.

Aren't they testing self driving cars with no steering wheels at all? Hard to blame the driver when they don't have a steering mechanism.

But yeah, flight is better but only if you assume you can fly faster than you can walk/run. Otherwise it's mostly pointless.

Flying cars can only come after we solve self driving cars. Because I've seen Baton Rouge drivers in 2D, God help us all if you let them drive in 3D.

While you could easily nitpick it to death with physics and conditions (yes you'd get old quickly), having the ability to stop time is the best superpower to me. You can effectively teleport, be invisible, stop bullets, etc.

Couldn't you make an Uber app that cuts out management entirely? Like, in theory all you really need is a system that notifies nearby drivers of a potential job, and allow people to pay through the app right?

You only need to cover a couple servers and a code monkey; take one percent from every transaction when there's hundreds a day, let the drivers keep the rest, and boom: it's self-sustaining, and no one is actually employed by anyone.

And when you take a ride with someone who has an app of their own, isn't insured, and you get into an accident, then what? Buyer beware?

That's Uber's model. They don't check the drivers more than legally required which is usually not at all and if there's a problem, the driver has violated the TOS and so it's not Uber's problem.

Even then, you can technically still bring a lawsuit against Uber (and yes, I know you can file a lawsuit against anyone, doesn't mean you'll win) instead of just a random person.
