This is, in my opinion, incorrect.

Current AI works best when other cars are predictable. That's on highways where changes in speed are relatively gradual and things can be seen from far away.

Also, AI training time is basically in its Moore's Law phase. Training times are being halved every year as better algorithms are implemented and more and more companies are comissioning AI optimized computer chips.

IMO we are going to quickly move away from the past of "general purpose computing" and move to a situation where every computer has multiple processing modules for certain tasks, and whole server farms are optimized for one process. This will effectively revive Moore's Law and keep us going into a new age of computing.

That's my opinion on self-driving cars and AI more generally.



But "you don't know anything" goes way further than cars. It's seeped into everything. Software as a service is a great example. You don't own your adobe program, you license it for a yearly fee. Rentals are becoming the dominant mode of living. Same thing.

Oh, "they" are probably much, FUCKING MUCH, better than a complete sellout corrupted weak libertarian "governement" selling the ass of his country and the balls of his roads to China or Whatever.
Spitting in the soup.

If the technology becomes such that it's better in every single way then sure. Also I do like electric vehicles in general it's a technology we should of adapted instead of fossil fuels years ago

Electric cars are much less attractive in USA due lower gas price.
In europe sales are truely exploding.

thats because computing tech had so much room to grow, batteries do not

you can only store so much electrical energy in batteries, the energy density is limited unless somebody reinvents physics



i am sure the average dude in minnesota will be happy about his car having some useless AI, when he cant even get started in the winter



in germany its just to grab the state subsidies, people buy hybrids and drive them like normal cars

Not sure how much I believe someone who needs three edits to properly spell a third grade word correctly on anything.

We pay a huge tax on vehicles deemed inefficient in the US. Last new car I purchased was almost $6,000 more because of this tax alone.

How about you enjoy your battery powered car and I absolutely will pay a little extra for a gasoline powered car.

And maybe people who drive electric cars can shut the fuck up about how smug they are. Not saying you but you know the type.

I lived in Fairbanks for 16 years. I was really miserable there because almost no daylight in the middle of winter. The cold, I can tolerate but fuck the 20 hour long nights. Never living in Alaska again.

I wouldn't mind living in B.C., though. Drove through that territory once and it was gorgeous.

I already live way further north than Fairbanks. I'm well adjusted to the darkness. I'm still out on the sleds daily.

BC is beautiful. Kootenay-Rockies is amazing. But also northern BC. Big rivers and mountains, bueautiful weather.

Fairbanks is the population of all of Nunavut though. Im good with living in fly in only communitys with sub 2k people. City life is miserable.
