Greenland is not a nato member

That’s like saying your right arm isn’t a human.

Greenland is simply a part of Denmark, so it is a NATO member.

when I could have just bought SSDs.

…for 5x the money

Then why do you even say things about the whole world when you know only about such a small part of it.

How can you absolutely know most telecom providers in all the 200 countries and their prices?

pay to send you SMS messages, around $.003-$.01

You cannot know that because it depends a lot on which country and which network.

“Do you support me?” cannot be polished into something thing open-ended

When washing my hands, I use an electric soap dispenser.

Going too slow where, in the city?

Everywhere.

exceptions for people with disabilities?

Well, not that kind of exception where “the requirements are forgotten and we can make everything easier just for you”.

I don’t know this specific thing, but in general, a disabled person must have some kind of aid that fully compensates the disability.

Think of eye glasses: your eyes are bad, so you are required to wear glasses (or contacts). Note that it is on you. You get an extra order written into your license saying that you always have to wear them when driving, and they must fully compensate your vision - otherwise you are not allowed to drive.

For an autonomous vehicle without radars or LiDAR they do still drive pretty darn well.

That’s a bit like saying “For an old hound dog with only two legs left he is running pretty darn fast”… :-)

How will the bot car handle itself out in the country? Dirt roads?

They don’t go there. They have their limits. Simple as that.

But when the police has ordered them there (for example, the good road must be emptied because of an emergency) then the trouble starts… now imagine not just one or two, but hundreds of them.

some half baked action movie shit in your mind

I was thinking about the “japanese motorcycle repair kit” :-) (but only thinking, of course)

Many. But the most obvious currently: they are going too slow.

And maybe the most funny: they are unable to turn their heads (in order to prove to the inspector that they are looking where it is required to look).

Maybe that’s why you aren’t an ambo driver :-)

You can be the best in the world and still not be good enough

So you haven’t recognized that other car brands’ assistance/autonomous systems make less dramatic mistakes?

computer vision is definitely a software problem.

No, it isn’t.

If it were only software, don’t you think Tesla should be the best of them all, being the pure software shop they are?

But it is a real world problem. Recognizing real objects in real world conditions like weather, natural and artificial lights, temperatures (want some ice on your camera?), winds & storms, all kinds of unforeseen circumstances, other bad drivers, police and firemen…

And that’s why that pure software shop is so bad at it, while all the real carmakers shrug… they are used to it since forever.

Should a self-driving car face more rigorous tests than actual human drivers? Honest question

First: none of these automated cars would pass a German driver’s license test. By far.

Second: of course you cannot compare tests for humans with tests for machines.

But yes western society is currently in a hellscape of refusing to do even basic regulation

Only the Usamerican country.

We Europeans are scratching our heads already for very long: why are they letting these guys do just everything they want?

Elon

Who carez

Ok in your case, let’s say you have 80K in savings.

Half a million would be about the point where it would change my ways.

With only 5 million I would stop working for money.

Why are they going after people

Seems you haven’t read the second half of the title, as well as the second half of the article.
