Self-driving shuttle bus in crash on first day.

Self-driving shuttle bus in crash on first day.
It makes me extremely happy when I read these things. Will no one think of the lorry drivers.

Warning! Cherry picking ahead!

Quote:An incident involving a Tesla Model S, which has some autonomous functions, killed a man in 2016. An investigation ruled that computer failings were partly to blame. Tesla was instructed to make the limitations of its technology clearer to drivers.

I remember years ago, the bloke who invented jogging died of a heart attack while out jogging. I never laughed so much since me granny caught her tits in the wringer.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

We'll know that civilization is ending when they invent the first robot lawyer to handle the lawsuits!

Pardon? Are you implying that civilization has actually started?  Huh

We might just skip it.

This bodes ill for Project Sex-bot.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Right. One second you're getting the blow job of your life, then someone hacks into the software and its jaws snap shut.

BoT, this article points out that removing the loose nut behind the wheel will improve driving safety.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

And the technology to implement this system will cost how much? And a sat data link failure will result in what? Ok, British Rail or what ever they are called now are rightly mocked, but I can still get a return from Edinburgh to London for fifty quid. My view is; first get human pilots out of commercial airlines and prove this automation concept is feasible.
Always remember. Who gains from the implementation of this new technology. Follow the money.

Not too surprising this shit happened. Two years ago, Volvo tried to demonstrate a self-parking car. Unfortunately, it ploughed into the journalists who were there to cover it. Fortunately, the guys who stood in its way seem to have been unharmed. Apparently, it turned out that passenger detection technology was apparently a premium feature that the driver had to pay for, but apparently, they didn't. Let me repeat that: passenger detection, a crucial feature for a self-driving car, was an optional feature and you have to pay more money to the car manufacturers to keep your car from going all Christine.

And here's the video:

Yep... software's only as good as the fallible people who write it. Never better.
No God, No fear.
