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’re still gonna be better than humans.

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.

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

This is a brilliant way to win the next generation! I swear, the GOP is being directed by Month Python’s Flying Circus. It’s like the ministry of silly walks.

They’re probably not shooting for the next generation, they know that’s lost. They’re shooting for the ones after, when they’ve stripped the education system dry and can more easily exploit the naivety while their own kids take over. It’s generational planning.

They don’t have to if they entrench themselves as the dictatorship by law.

Wouldn't it normally have a huge traffic jam as people leave, anyway? Even regular concerts do.

Don’t tell us… Tell the airport police you called to escort them off the plane, and the no fly list you added them to because they didn’t want to sit in vomit.

afraid_of_zombies , in The GDP gap between Europe and the United States is now 80%

This is yet another proof that economics as a study really has no connection to real world.

Hexophile ,

It really depends on the type and field of economics you’re looking at. Macro and micro are very very different fields. There are also a lot of different ways to present these facts. In general gdp means very little for normal people, and something like the Gini coefficient at least gets a little closer to a metric that actually represents the economic health of a country.
