Fears that #Israel or international partners could pressure #Egypt into accepting millions of #Palestinians settling in the #Sinai have abounded for decades in #Cairo: #HosniMubarak strenuously denied reports in 2017 that he had cut a deal with #MargaretThatcher in 1983 to resettle Palestinians exiled in Lebanon in the peninsula, adding that #BenjaminNetanyahu, had also proposed the idea in 2010.
In a high-profile public rebuke from #Israel’s private sector, Shashua, the head of self-driving auto technologies firm #Mobileye, said #Netanyahu’s government was guilty of “failures, dissonance and incompetence”.
“VW have no clue what they’re doing at management level”
They pulled the plug on the one company with the closest shot at making an autonomous vehicle work (Argo) and now think they can do it alone? They are smoking strong stuff in Germany.
There are many reasons we will not get safe AVs on our public roads. Essentially boils down to how they’re being developed. Which is at odds with a safety culture.
A reminder that MobilEye wanted to change the law so that any collision involving a human driver and a car with their system, the human is automatically guilty. So yeah, we want them associated with driver tech on our roads.
Hey, car industry, I keep saying this but you do not appear to listen, trust is a big thing, we need to have it to use your products. You are working hard to remove that.
An interesting article here by @mimsical and I would recommend reading it.
I think it is a reasonable take on how, essentially, the regulatory landscape will look in the US and perhaps elsewhere.
That said, I have some notes.
Not so much on the article itself... but on my favorite punching bag, the #NHTSA.
For those that do not know, the NHTSA is the unserious, disinterested and effectively theoretical regulator in the US for vehicle and roadway safety. 🧵
@mimsical Let me just say that I have never heard a remotely convincing argument yet as to why #ADS cannot be regulated with almost the exact same processes that commercial aircraft are.
That is not necessarily to disagree with this take from #Mobileye, but it is a higher level observation of mine.
No, the #NHTSA is not capable of that type of rigorous oversight (from a skill sets perspective, at the very least), but that fact does not invalidate how the regulatory processes should be.
