  1. The Catholic Church is one of the few large institutions around that are more corrupt than the Trump administration.
  2. Canada will be here for your runaway handmaidens. Just like we were here for your Vietnam war resisters.
  3. Your macho talk is so inspiring. Where did you learn proper circle jerk technique?
  4. That'll be great when the truck is in NYC I guess. Have you ever tried to use a cell phone in rural IA? Anyway, I'm thinking that AI operated vehicles will need a level of redundancy and reliability that approaches that of aviation. Maybe more. The cost of implementing that on a large scale will need to come down considerably. And it will, but not soon.
  5. Thank you for your skilled avoidance of the question. I give up.

    Anyone who thinks Trump can't win is not looking clearly at the situation and does not understand the electoral College.
  7. That would be overturning Roe V Wade. That was the situation before 1973. Individual State laws.
  8. Well then, maybe you can see different levels of "fucktardness". On a scale of 1 to 10 what level is say Bush, Obama, and Trump at?
  9. And.....it's ok with you to have a fucktard POTUS then.
  10. So then, your position is that yes, Trump is a racist. But it's okay with you because he is honest about being a racist. What do you think that says about you, and yours?
  11. The next debate is in a town hall format. That should make some sort of difference.
  12. Sure, but what are the consequences of a brief interruption in that level of performance?
  13. I keep reading about more prominent Rs making announcements that they will be voting for Biden. This can only be because they have decided that the dotard is going to lose and that now is the time to position themselves for a Trumpless future.
  14. The Presidential Debate Commission has announced that they are studying possible new measures to get the next debates under some kind of order and control. If they actually happen after this debacle.
  15. America's 2020 choice. What's it going to be, the godless commie or the racist nazi thug?
  16. For all but slow speed maneuvering latency will always be a problem. Remote operation at highway speeds in traffic will never be an option.
  17. I see no reason the remote operators could not be located in say....Afghanistan. After all, drones on the hunt there are operated from North Dakota.
  18. Not much differently than most US media.
  19. Erlang calculations always leave the customer on hold for the longest period that the accountants think they can get away with. Knowing full well that a percentage of them will just give up.
  20. Mostly those who live in a divided society and perceive those who don't already have those things as undeserving and feel it is a zero sum game that they will lose when others gain.
  21. Will the hours of service regulations apply to them? Only two things a somewhat clear to me on the whole issue of driverless vehicles on public roads. First is that the day will come when it will be the norm, second is that day is further away than most tech company leaders think.
  22. In the meantime the truck sits there blocking traffic? Waiting for the call centre operator to get to the next one in the line up? I can certainly see the public tolerating the odd fatal accident. I can not see the public putting up with immobile trucks in the road waiting for a human operator. Level 5 will be needed before the labour savings become available. Every ship needs a captain. The captain could be a machine, but it will need to be a machine capable of doing the job fully and independently.
  23. I did not watch it. I knew better. I waiting for the morning reviews. The biggest take away I have heard is this: "Stand back and stand by," Nothing more needs to be said.
  24. But the point of a self driving level 4 vehicle is in opposition to that concept. I'm not sure you can get the general public to spend the money on something that only does part of the job. What is the point? What is in it for the owner?
