iirc there was a guy a couple years back who did an art that was like, a robot, and it used a camera and some "secret but not random" set of rules to determine if it should hurt the person in front of it, and you put your hand down on it and it would wave a pin around menacingly and if it decided it didn't like you it would stab you with the pin

However, we have a strong claim that Facebook has infringed on our intellectual property, and after several years of dialogue, we also have an obligation to our shareholders to pursue appropriate legal remedies.

Yeah, that really reads more like "pedestrian not paying attention, ran in to parked car" and had nothing to do with the autonomous nature of the vehicle.

trying to make a left turn at 16th & valencia is a bad idea in general, if I'd heard that exact same thing happening to a non-robot car it would be unremarkable

i got a ticket turning left on 16th and mission because the cop car in front of me did it and I absent-mindedly followed thinking "oh nice, i need to turn left here to go south"

so he pulls me over and writes me the ticket and it was like $1200 and 6 points on my license or something insane, so i called some ticket lawyer dude, emailed in the ticket, copy of my license and a 2 paragraph description of what happened. 18 months and $900 later it got dismissed!

honestly you must be the unluckiest loving guy ever. fwiw i have never seen cops in my city (berkeley) or SF ever do an traffic-enforcement (outside of meter-maids). well that's not quite true, there are cops at the carpool onramp at Bryant/3rd/harrison or traffic directing cops but that's because that area is a giant clusterfuck. I've even been in friends car where she accidentally ran a red infront of a cop parked nearby and he just shook his head

ehh, it's ish-y. sf cops are insanely racist; however, compared to rest of america where they every fiber of their body is screaming the n-word every millisecond and desperately getting that dopamine rush thinking about and want to immediately shoot anything that isnt rgb 255,255,255, they look more like pure saints.

surprisingly, i am white.

the black guy in the back seat totally shut up and went into that chris rock mode in the seinfeld coffee thing. my white friend in the passenger seat was like "gently caress that cop, you didn't do poo poo, when he gets here i'm gonna loving scream at him, he ain't giving you no loving ticket."

i was all "please don't, i'm pretty sure i couldn't take a left on red back there, it will probably be a warning."

it was not, cop just asked for my ID and "if i was a police officer or city vehicle" and i said no and he just handed back a ticket. no conversation/questions other than that.

the nypd's demographics are very similar to the city itself. that is to say, the nypd officers corps is astonishingly diverse. and yet they still do crazy, racist things on the regular.

one might be led to think there is something wrong with the culture of police work in america, in general, not merely "bad apples" or individual officers' beliefs.
