they’re hasta muerte in fruitvale! if you live in the area you should check them out + give them a positive review, they’re a great space and they’re getting a tooooon of shit and fake bad yelp reviews trying to destroy their business all because they want to feel safe + make their customers feel safe
the tempe police released the video of the woman getting hit by the autonomous uber car (i guess they paused it before anything graphic was witnessed) and of course people are making excuses for the company and not the woman whose life was cut short. like you can see the woman appears to come out of nowhere because it’s dark out but shouldn’t an autonomous car be able to tell if there’s a living thing in front of it even if it’s dark outside? this is the type of shit you get figured out before you put a literal fucking algorithm in charge of a 2,000 pound metal box on wheels maybe
The industry is pushing the limits too hard because everybody wants to be the first to enter this new market. Right now, autonomous cars seem to perform about as good as human drivers, who cause a horrific number of accidents. However, any and every autonomous car’s AI can theoretically learn from the accidents and mistakes of any and every other.
There will be other people killed by autonomous cars, but if we do it the right way, the overall accident risk posed by self-driving robot automobiles will decrease rapidly, while the risk posed by human drivers stays roughly the same. The best way of doing this would be to establish open platform standards for car AI, but that would be “socialism”, I guess.
better idea: get rid of cars lol
charge all the ceos with hit and run. get rid of cars. get rid of capitalism
