every company working on making self-driving cars has a strong incentive to constantly claim that results are “just around the corner”

That’s not what the German carmakers do.

We are laughing at American companies who do such bigmouth claims all the time, and call them liars, and worse.

Within the current decade, according to Mercedes.

The point here is the polite-implicit vs the impolite-explicit.

But there is no politeness in threatening.

Death penalty is wrong.

TL;DR?

The system doesn’t have the capability to do these things and any program should never be given that capability whether it’s “AI” or not.

You are right, but:

“Should” does not tell about what is actually tried out, or done.

I’ll try my best. It is probably somewhat helpful for me that I do not have an appropriate boat.

But regarding these people with their huge luxury boats out there: I am pretty sure that they are doing it for the sole purpose of committing all kinds of sins.

As long as you stay out of any land (+x miles distance), and no one of your people calls for help, you can get away with anything, because nobody is coming to check on you, ever.

but aren’t the Waymo(s) trained on data which most likely did not include these robots yet?

You can say that about nearly 100% of humans as well.

I want to build a whole new server, starting with a wooden case that makes it perfectly silent (but allows for good air flow).

Btw: does anybody know what bad things actually happen if there is no metal cage that blocks all the radio?

We can discuss now who had the right of way.

But can we?

Do robots suddenly have rights?

and didn’t yield to the pedestrian walk way.

The Waymo is guilty.

The scene was clearly visible and it hit the brake much too late at that speed.

For revenge or for reconciliation?

Usa was once founded by a bunch of outlaws and runaways and has never fundamentally changed since.

like a boat, with a green in front and a red in back?

Boats and planes have green at their starboard and red at their board side.

By tradition, the automobile industry is allowed to build machines that kill people.

The airplane industry isn’t.

“Biology doesn’t allow it.”

• “…what biology???”

“I am biology.”

that will be the big bang.

But turtles make no banging noise. It’s loud panting or wheezing noises. And it goes on for quite a while, so that you could maybe get a little envious…

If you don’t want to attract attention, be bored.

And let all your face and body show it at all times.

Do all the typical things at the right time. Don’t talk to anybody - only the needed minimum. Have neither fear nor fun.

“Do you support me?” cannot be polished into something thing open-ended
