I just noticed that when you search for _____ wiki on google, it defaults to the unencrypted plain http link on wikipedia, even if you search for it on the https version of google. They should really fix that so it defaults to https. Because right now, if you search for something on google with https, the plain html link to wikipedia is going to have your search query in the referer which defeats the purpose. Really it should default to the https version of search and results should be https too. Fuzzy Mammal tell them to fix this please ty

I rode in my friend's tesla the other day and it's a nice car and all but definitely not $80,000 nice. the acceleration will break your neck, which is amazing for a car that heavy but the ride quality is poor and the interior luxury features are non-existent.

they've found a way to get rich nerds to buy a luxury car instead of a nerdmobile prius, that's all

reminder that the LIDAR unit google uses costs $70,000

and that the system requires an inch-level manually curated 3d map of the roads the car is supposed to drive, which at the moment (after years of development) only exists for a few thousand miles of roads around the sf bay area

and that the cars have to be explicitly told where to expect stoplights and other traffic control devices or they'll ignore them

i suppose it's reasonable that in the next decade or so they could map out all of the interstates and controlled-access highways, since there are no streetlights and the situations are somewhat easier, and only enable automatic mode on those, where it's most useful anyway

Alone, she fights.
I would only trust an automatic car on a highway and by "trust" I mean "would still definitely avoid" because no way is a full automated car going to be feasible in general within the next several years

I wonder what happens if you cut a self driving car off? presumably it'd be set to slow way down if all of the sudden brake lights are in front of it. lol at the idea that the company that made your self driving car is going to be responsible when it causes an accident.

it doesn't, that's where the whole thing falls apart. we can make a car today that's totally autonomous on highways, but no car maker will let you take your hands off the wheel while the car drives. the minute there is no person as a backup the liability falls on the automaker and that's basically an impossible position for them.

I dunno I guess you could have it be like in I robot or whatever movie where the car switches between manual and auto control, require hands on the wheel in auto mode in order to make the car go and have it pull over automatically if the hands are removed. it doesn't matter because autonomous cars are stupid other than possibly as a replacements to taxis, then have the taxi company be responsible for liability.
