Self driving cars will never be safe. There are too many things that cant be forseen.

The comments I read about driverless vehicles sound more like fear of the unknown, unwilling to take risks, and an addiction to the status quo. Those are great ways to get nowhere. If you want to see something happen, you need to take risks, learn as you go along, ignore failures, ignore pundits, and don't allow anyone discourage you. I recently took on a project where I knew very little about the technology. I knew it could be done, which was a big help, but I needed a fast education. After a few frustrating evenings and asking some good questions, and I'm slowly making progress.

It's a term I've seen used to replace "accidental fatality" which oozes sympathy and compassion, while begging not to be sued. Topic drift at it's best: I'm now on my 3rd will and working on my 4th. The problem is that every time I inscribe someone as a suitable beneficiary, they either drop dead or turn out to be inherently evil and unworthy of receiving my modest inheritance. One of my first jobs was sweeping the floor at a mortuary. Death does really strange things to people (the friends and relatives, not the deceased). CNC milling has revolutionized engraving headstones and markers: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cnc+headstone+engraver I've written poetry for inscription on tombstones. None has been "published". There's usually not enough available space, it's difficult to be clever in only a few words that rhyme, and the headstone maker wants too much money for all the text. These might help: https://www.google.com/search?q=gravestone+humor https://www.google.com/search?q=bicycle+headstone Where bicycles go to die: https://www.google.com/search?q=bicycle+graveyard Amazing. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
