Whoever Thinks Driverless Cars Will Be Good in the Next 100 Years

[Weatherman2020]

You're right! I have no clue as to why software idiots would create such stupid user unfriendly software!

When everyone else can use something you have difficulty using then you may want to start looking at your intelligence as the reason you cant seem to figure it out.

Why does everyone know what a spinning blue circle is?

Yeah, it's what you'll see as your car drives into an intersection.

A spinning blue circle is a visual representation of the processor doing something. Very similar to when the icon was a hourglass. Are you sure you were an engineer?

Nice to know we will have a visual icon that the processor is working on it as we speed into the intersection.

a cars processor will only be devoted to car driving activities. Sort of like it is now.

Like the F-16 processor that yanked the aircraft into a turn during takeoff?

I wonder if the last thing he saw on earth was a blue spinning circle from his dedicated processor.

If man could put a man on the Moon in 1969 with the computer technology they had then, I would think that a driverless car is not beyond belief. After all most commercial jets land themselves, unless the pilot wants practice.

Apollo computers didn't do much. And like I said, I watched a rocket blow up because the computer code was trying to divide by zero.

Maybe one day driverless cars will be possible. But I doubt it, civilization and technology are slowing down rapidly.

an F-16 isnt a car and like you said it was due to human error.

I said the mounting of the sensor was human error.

Oh, that's right. Car mechanics are more highly trained than FAA certified aircraft mechanics and never make mistakes.

Nope they crashed because humans fucked up.

I hope you dont really expect me to believe you have a patent when you think Outlook shutting down due to an inactivity timer means driverless cars wont work ?

And dufus, I just started writing the email I just opened when Outlook shut itself down. Which overrode the "stay logged on" setting as well.

Your credentials?

So because you dont know what youre doing on a computer you blame the programming?

I'm actually a Voice Collaboration and Network engineer.

Ah. Because I was typing an email and the software logged me out without my permission it is my fault.

You proved my point well. People who do software and those who design involving human interface are typically clueless and always just blame the user.

Of course its your fault for being stupid and not knowing the timer ran out before you started typing your email.

Nope. I test new code on network devices all the time and send it back to the developers. Thats how I know you are inept at best.

Ah, so the code let she me start an email, type two paragraphs, then logs me out without permission and I'm just s stupid user who is at fault.

You are the prime example of why driverless cars should not be allowed.

Hey numbnuts, do you think EVERY computer program has a subroutine to time you out? No, they don't. Driverless cars will not. That particular argument is moronic.

Like the mechanic who replaced a sensor in the steering mechanism for an F-16 and tested it and it passed? Fully armed F-16 in Afghanistan took a sudden right turn while taking off. Thank God the pilot was OK. I led that incident investigation too.

Sensor said he was going straight so turned the wheel to keep him going straight. Or what the sensor told the computer was straight. Turned out the mechanic overtightened the sensor and testing failed to find the defect.

So like I pointed out. Human error.

Yeah, like the crappy code in driverless cars. Human error.

So the code in driverless cars is crappy? How in the hell do you-know that? Can you see into the future?

 

[WinterBorn]

Why would I remember you?

Do you mean so I can amused?

I'm the idiot who your life may rest upon.

Enjoy. Just chalk up any issues to human error.

Youre the idiot using a computer to post but railing against technology.

Most issues will be human error. Code only does what humans make it do.

Dude, I made my fortune creating technology.

But unlike you, I know it's limits.

You're just a gullible Leftist who just follows without thinking.

You didnt create any technology of that I'm sure. If you did you wouldnt use outlook closing on you as a reason driverless cars wouldnt work.

You said you had patents. What did you invent? Give me a patent number.

Says the dude claiming it's a users fault because Outlook shuts itself down without permission in the middle of being used.

Dude, it's flawed programming created by flawed human beings. Just like the flawed programming that killed the man in the driverless car.

I asked you if that was the accident involving the Tesla hitting the truck. You didn't answer. The link won't work for me.

Technology is slowing down rapidly? We all now can have a Dick Tracy two way wrist radio. My watch tells me when to get off my butt and walk. I see little slowdown in technology, especially the application.

 

[WinterBorn]

None of this matters because other than a few west coast liberals NOBODY is going to buy them..we men like our trucks and driving them

I drive a truck or a suburban. But I see Tesla all the time in Atlanta. Plenty of men driving them. But look as they go by, because it is unlikely you will catch them.

What he saw was the DVD he was watching while he ignored 5 warnings from the car. The driver was an idiot. Consider it chlorine in the gene pool.

 

[G.T.]

Being anti technology is such a weird assed thing.

Like, "old people dont want to change their stubborn ways" is supposed to just be cliche these days, not still the norm! God damn you.

My grandmother came to California in a horse drawn wagon and watched a man walk on the moon. 60 years after the Wright Brothers man was walking on the moon. Computers were being used 2,000 years ago.

Yes, things are slowing down.

Oh, that'll never happen! No one will ever take a nap on a driverless car!

I'm the last person who would throw around insults. But, d@mn, you're an idiot! (and probably queer, too) First, yes, every computer program has a subroutine that will time something out. It's a necessary feature in all complex software to handle non-response situation. Further, I believe the other posters point really wasn't about software timing out, but about computer glitches. All software has glitches and bugs and the more complex it is, the more glitches it will have.

Yep, no one will ever take a nap or text while in a driverless car! And that car will never speed into an intersection when it sees a problem!

You make my point without knowing it.

In 1960, a gigaflop of processing power cost about 200 billion dollars (adjusted for inflation). Today, that same power costs about 2 cents. Thing are slowing down? Uh, no.

Personal PC's with a 12MB hard drive did almost as much as today's 500 gig machines.

And the programming for the Tesla relies on the driver paying attention to the car. Driverless cars will shut down & pull over.
