I think blue and red are supposed to be “Profit” and “Loss”, not revenues and costs, since I’m pretty sure all Olympics have both revenues and costs. Also, the Y-axis is already labeled deficit and surplus, so why not just use those instead of conflicting, misleading terms?
I still have deep-seated, instinctual nightmares of the merg.
Six years ago I tossed Warframe 10 bucks before I stopped playing to thank them for 500 amazing free hours, but that’s literally the only time I’ve ever made any sort of freemium purchase.
8 o’clock. Smooth, flavorful, and cheap!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie debuted at the height of turtlemania in 1990 and became the highest grossing independent film ever at the time. It’s also a genuinely good movie.
Well this would have been fun if the stupid title hadn’t spoiled the whole thing.
The issue is not the overall track record on safety but how AV accidents almost always involve doing something incredibly stupid that any competent, healthy person would not.
As long as the overall number of injuries/deaths is lower for autonomous vehicles (and as you’ve acknowledged, that does seem to be what the data shows), I don’t care how “stupid” autonomous vehicles’ accidents are. Not to mention that their safety records will only improve as they get more time on the roads.
That’s probably true, but their handling of edge cases will only get better the more time they spend on the roads, and it already looks like they’re significantly safer than humans under normal circumstances, which make up the vast majority of the time spent on the road.
In December, Waymo safety data—based on 7.1 million miles of driverless operations—showed that human drivers are four to seven times more likely to cause injuries than Waymo cars.
From your first article.
Cruise, which is a subsidiary of General Motors, says that its safety record “over five million miles” is better in comparison to human drivers.
From your second.
Your third article doesn’t provide any numbers, but it’s not about fully autonomous vehicles anyway.
In short, if you’re going to claim that their track record is actually worse than humans, you need to provide some actual evidence.
Edit: Here’s a recent New Scientist article claiming that driverless cars “generally demonstrate better safety than human drivers in most scenarios” even though they perform worse in turns, for example.
Exactly. As early as the technology still is, it seems like it’s already orders of magnitude better than human drivers.
I guess the arbitrary/unfeeling impression of driverless car deaths bothers people more than the “it was just an accident” impression of human-caused deaths. Personally, as long as driverless car deaths are significantly rarer than human-caused deaths (and it already seems like they are much, much rarer), I’d rather take the lower chance of dying in a car accident, but that’s just me.
How does “driverless cars hitting people is so incredibly rare that a single instance of it immediately becomes international news” at all signify “boring dystopia”? If anything we should be ecstatic that the technology to eliminate the vast majority of car deaths is so close and seems to be working so well.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of ridiculously, insanely amazing.
Good.
I’m just waiting to see how they fuck up Monster Hunter Wilds at this point.
I’ve been playing this game for years and I was today years old when I discovered that it’s not actually a thumbs-up.
I’m a big fan of hydrogen for stuff like cars. Install more than enough solar or hydro or whatever, then use the surplus energy to create hydrogen cells that can be stored long-term, so that the hydrogen itself is also created with clean, renewable energy, usable on demand.
The problem there is that you have to know exactly what you’ve done to mess it up in order to fix the bug, and when I fuck up my system, I usually have no idea what I did.
It’s good to see a post from this community again - it was one of my favorites on the other website, and I’d love to see it really succeed here.
Dunno why Pythagoras would be mad, since the Pythagorean theorem was known for at least a thousand years before his time.
Having undesirable jobs doesn’t make Communism collapse.
True, but it does show that the OP is just bullshit propaganda.
Cue me rambling about how in English “chai” doesn’t mean “tea” any more than “oolong” or “Earl Grey” does.
More like those Ancestral Archers down in Siofra. They’re hitting me with railguns travelling at Mach 12 from halfway across the map.
