I think you guys are missing the forest for the trees here.

There's a version of Windows, a version of Windows XP I might add, that is specially crafted for submarines, aptly named Windows for Submarines. And windows for submarines sounds like a terrible idea, no matter how you slice it.

Jump towards the end if you want to see him spill burning butane all over himself.

Or jump to the middle when he fills a PET bottle with liquid butane, seals it, and then opens it up later.

And this is how we learned that cultural differences are deadly: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cberlingen_mid-air_collision

Two years after the crash, Peter Nielsen, the air traffic controller on duty at the time of the collision, was murdered in an apparent act of revenge, by Vitaly Kaloyev, a Russian citizen who had lost his wife and two children in the accident.

:stare:

EDIT:

quote:

Devastated by the loss of his wife and two children aboard flight 2937, Vitaly Kaloyev, a Russian architect, held Peter Nielsen responsible for their deaths. He tracked down and stabbed Nielsen to death, in the presence of his wife and three children, at his home in Kloten, near Zürich, on 24 February 2004.[19][25] The Swiss police arrested Kaloyev at a local motel shortly after, and he was sentenced to prison for the murder in 2005. He was released in November 2007 because his mental condition was not sufficiently considered in the initial sentence. In January 2008, he was appointed deputy construction minister of North Ossetia.

As I understand it, one of the main benefits of AI drivers would be to have cars moving at speed impossibly close to each other. I would think even watching that would be unbearably stressful. Like I wouldn't even want a window if my car is doing 80 mph three inches from another car's bumper.

Yeah, but thats pretty much the endgame, when most, if not all of the cars on the road are autonomous and networked.

AFAIK, the thing about Guinness World Records is that you have to be the first to do something, not that it is useful or necessarily impressive. When a WR is impressive is because people have been trying and breaking that particular record for a long time, and then naturally raising the bar to something impressive.

I don't know if the 1Km road train would have blown out its engine trying to move another Km, but it likely didn't need to if they were setting the WR for the first time.
