Maybe autonomous vehicles don’t need a ‘brake pedal’ specifically, but I do think that for safety’s sake, they do need some kind of emergency kill switch accessible to passengers in the interior. Something that will bring the vehicle to a stop as soon as safely possible and then ensure that the doors can be opened from the inside. And maybe repeated presses of the emergency kill switch should disregard software entirely, using purely hardware pathways to immediately bring the vehicle to a halt and unlock the doors.

Do the Oceansgate engineers now work for the Fed?

If not them, then their drinking buddies.

Really, even map apps. Those just convert to glorified ToDo apps, where you say where you need to be at what time and the AV figures out how to get you there. Showing your position on a map is just more of a curiosity, like the airplane in-flight scenes

Eh... It can still be useful when setting a destination.

A) Sometimes you want to travel to a place that you're not familiar with the name of, but know the location of. If you can find it on a map, you can use the map to indicate where you want to go. As it's a non-verbal way of indicating destination, it could also be useful for some types of disability accommodation.

B) Sometimes you want to travel to a place that doesn't have a formal name or address. If, say, you're trying to get to a particular and rather obscure outdoor recreation site, your only choice besides pointing it out on a map would be to tell the car precise GPS coordinates, which could be very cumbersome to input. And since GPS coordinates are difficult to memorize, the user would probably have to consult a map to find out what the coordinates are in the first place.

C) Seeing the destination displayed on the map helps ensure there was no miscommunication between the passenger and the vehicle, confirming that it's actually headed to the correct destination. (No matter how much you optimize and perfect the car's communication software, it's still communicating with a fallible human, so miscommunication and misunderstanding remains possible. If an incorrect destination has been set, it's best to detect and correct that as soon as possible, and having a map available would help for that.)

All joking aside, though, maybe autonomous vehicles don't need a 'brake pedal' specifically, but I do think that for safety's sake, they do need some kind of emergency kill switch accessible to passengers in the interior. Something that will bring the vehicle to a stop as soon as safely possible and then ensure that the doors can be opened from the inside.

Also, they'll get warrants from friendly judges who never ever reject a warrant request.

Smart move. You'll still be able to use them when the government tries to ban them for lack of age verification spyware.

Good thing Pirate Bay exists.

I'm going to want something with a roof, windows, and climate control, though -- for when the weather is bad.

I bicycle plenty, but there are definitely times when I'd rather not and it's miserable.

To the extent that any money is real these days.

Bank of America?

Maybe the irresponsibility is in ourselves for giving those game companies money.

Speak for yourself. I haven't paid real money for any game since the 90s.

Okay, lol. To start with, that's not what the term 'gatekeeping' means -- he's not even using the term correctly.

If a group of real csam producers was trying to keep ai csam producers out of their group, that would be gatekeeping.

let the free market decide

But only if the 'free' market chooses me, otherwise, it's wrong and everything should be changed!
