drphungky , in Person dies after 2 driverless cars block ambulance on way to hospital

I get that “man bites dog” is more newsworthy, as they say. But can we stop a tick and internalize that a human driven car hit and killed someone, and we’re talking about how it’s the autonomous car’s fault for adding a slight delay!

Give me a break. An ambulance being stuck in traffic by idiot drivers is nothing new. The autonomous cars may even kill people at a rate we’re uncomfortable with. They’re still gonna be better than humans. Humans are terrible drivers. Autonomous cars can’t come soon enough, and yes, I say that even as someone who prefers transit. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

They aren’t yet and once they are, we can stop having this discussion. Until then…

the autonomous car’s fault for adding a slight delay!

And, as suggested with a summary apparently taken from video evidence, the only car blocking the route cleared the area as soon as it was able. … You know; like a human driver should (but, if you’ve ever seen the traffic to the tunnel in 07306 and heard the woop-wu-woop-woop DJ as he tries to remind drivers to GTFO of the way, you’d know they don’t).

“On August 14 two Cruise AVs encountered an active emergency scene at an intersection in which a pedestrian had been hit by a human driven car. The first vehicle promptly clears the area once the light turns green and the other stops in the lane to yield to first responders who are directing traffic. Throughout the entire duration the AV is stopped, traffic remains unblocked and flowing to the right of the AV,” Cruise said in a statement obtained by KRON-TV.

Known pedophile doesn’t understand sexual assault when he sees it. Shocked, shocked I tell you.

Pederast. The term is pederast. Pedophile simply denotes interest, pederast refers to the grooming and keeping of underage victims.

Woody Allen is a pederast.

Isn’t he both a pedophile and a pederast?

She said the pilot told the women, who were on their way to Vienna, that they could leave and book new flights at their own expense “or they would be escorted off the plane by security and placed on a no fly list!”

Most fast-food workers have better soft skills than this.

PopcornPlayaa_ , in First Lady tests positive for COVID

Can you really compare the two? Sometimes you can fly without a plane, you just die a couple of seconds after free fall . Also, why are vaccines seatbelts, isn’t the whole point to immunize? Or is that just for every other vaccine except this one?

PopcornPlayaa_ , in First Lady tests positive for COVID

Yeah maybe gene therapy, not a vaccine in my mind. I never got Polio and I was vaxxed so what gives? Is this the only vaccine that works like dogshit?

    What?

    Pretty sure he livestreamed stealing a flag from a historic church and then burning it on their steps… Then he came back to DC and kept announcing where he was on Twitter.

    The gun magazine he just had on him, and because he’s a dumbass he said he only had it to sell to someone.

    You make it out to be a brilliant police sting, when it was the bare minimum of competence.

    holy shit

    Car , in US military leaders say Tuberville is aiding US adversaries with hold on military nominations | CNN Politics

    I don’t get how holding up military appointments (and thus, promotions) can be done for any reasons outside of concerns for the ability to perform. It makes sense to hold up a position, a single position, out of many due to how an individual has performed in the past and allow for some discourse on the individual’s suitability. That’s completely reasonable and perhaps even desired.

    How a single senator holds up hundreds of such individuals over something completely unrelated to the job performance of these flag officers is bewildering. The justification is bullshit.

    There’s a senate rule that all general offiver promotions require unanimous consent. Like the cloture rule for judicial appointments, they could change it tomorrow, but a lot of Senate rules are there to allow Senators to feel powerful.

    cantstopthesignal ,

    Maybe change the fucking rule.

    Because he’s an absolute asshole who’s only concerned about himself.

    Tuberville is an absolute fucking dumb shit who deserves the benefits that his poorest constituents receive and nothing more.

    matchphoenix , in Person dies after 2 driverless cars block ambulance on way to hospital

    It’s always Cruise. SF already cut their fleet by 50%, it’s only a matter of time until they’re off the road entirely.

    They say their video evidence shows that the ambulance didn’t egress when it could have, but they won’t release the video publicly. I hope we get better self driving cars in the future, but not like this.

    Kbin_space_program ,

    It's almost like AI isn't ready to be on the road and should be immediately taken off.

    atticus88th ,

    These cruise cars have been driving themselves before AI became a buzzword. Try again.

    Kbin_space_program ,

    Cruise has only existed as a company since 2013.

    Google has had AI driving cars since roughly 2009.

    This current batch of AI is only better in that it has data sets that are roughly 1000 to 10k times bigger, otherwise it's the same chatbot AI we've had for the last 15 years.

    You sir or madam, are the one who has failed and needs to try again.

    li10 ,

    It’s only better in that it’s been trained to a greater degree and is generally better?

    __dev ,

    I know you’re talking about the current AI hype cycle, but it was a buzzword in the 60s and again in the 80s.

    I just commented on this. Sounds like another lane was moving but that this car stopped right in front of the ambulance.

    Son_of_dad ,

    I wonder how many drivers block ambulances, a lot more than driverless cars do I wager

    joel_feila , in Person dies after 2 driverless cars block ambulance on way to hospital
    @joel_feila@lemmy.world avatar

    this brings up a good question. Can you sue the maker of these cars for wrongful death?
