They keep tabling these stupid proposals, and the majority of the electorate keeps telling them to piss off. And rightly so. This would only weaken the state as a whole, which is exactly what the goal is. It’s nothing but a selfish power-grab by a small number of wealthy malcontents, with a bunch of rubes blindly following in their wake.
If people who keep promoting these nonsense proposals don’t like California the way it is they should leave the state.
Lisa Hu was reported missing by her family in 2015. There is no foul play currently suspected. Lisa had recently contacted her mother and the both of them requested that she will be removed from the missing persons archive within Oakland.
Lisa did not share where she has been within the last 8 years.
Jesus Christ. These events demonstrate that the vehicles are unable to handle unique situations. Is there any other conclusion you can draw except that they are not ready for the road? One of the cars failed to yield to an emergency vehicle and ended up colliding with it and injuring the passenger. They don’t handle road work sign instructions. These aren’t even uncommon scenarios.
How are they allowed to keep these things on the road? Their response to these events is the cut the fleet in half for a while. And the article implies that the city is to allow that. WTF. Shouldn’t the response be “your software is not ready. The taxis must be manned until you show that the vehicles can handle unique situations on the road”.
Edit: I don’t live in the area and haven’t been keeping up on the development of these taxis. My reaction is just based on the article. I’d truly be interested if anyone knows more about how how we ended up here or if the article is leaving out important details.
Funny thing is. Humans do all those things and more. Yet we can’t stop them driving. As long as driverless cars are better than the worse human drivers we have a win.
Plus I don’t want to sit in traffic. There will be deaths. Always are but there are more deaths due to incompetent drivers at the moment. It’s a tough line as humans will rightfully criticize a human for killing their love ones. Who takes blame when driverless kills us ?
Insurance needs adjusting and systems need adjusting.
Fails safes need to be in place and we the public need to be at the top of the pecking order. Cars should never drive into us.
Are these driverless cars better than human drivers? Looking at the article, I see 3 incidents in one week across 300 or less cars. I don’t know what the rate is for similar incidents in human drivers but it seems like it would be quite a bit lower of a rate.
How many driverless cars were on the road ?.on their first day. Yeah I think 3 isn’t too bad. How many deaths were there on that day. It’s not going to be perfect on day 1. Nothing is perfect out the gate. Decades of research
Are we talking about the same thing? Did you read the article? This is about cars deployed by the Cruise driverless car company. Base on the article it is 300 or less cars that caused 3 incidents in the course of 1 week.
I think a lot of the problems here stem from people’s misunderstanding of the differences between these systems - mostly the people governing them.
Having ridden in all three, Tesla’s software is a fucking joke and shouldn’t be even remotely in the same field as the other two. Cruise feels borderline, but clearly they’re having severe issues. Waymo actually feels safer than most Uber drivers anyway.
You can’t just write general rules against all of these. Either you need different classes with clear distinctions, or you need standards/rules they have to pass.
But I find it extremely unlikely that our politicians can be bothered to actually learn the distinctions here.
So many benefits from zoning changes on top of the use of the building that would just go to waste. Putting a workforce and consumer base in the heart of retail areas, decreasing traffic, increasing community responsibility, and making it easier to get and give jobs. Giving people a roof even if they’ve been priced out of traditional housing. Using valuable resources that otherwise sit dormant and bankrupt, straining lending institutions, lowering tax revenue, and resulting in unmaintained, unowned buildings. Of course there will be a need to cover conversion costs, but the benefits that can come from this, both direct and indirect, are going to be massive. I hope the program gets the support it needs to thrive.
Imagine the feeling of putting on soldiers armor and gathering weapons to assault “violent” protesters. Then show up to see the unarmed kids and women you were there to assault.
I couldn’t imagine living through the shame without quitting that second.
There were multiple medical emergencies on-campus that paramedics couldn't respond to because the protesters blocked their entrance. If you were a "good cop" you'd be damn proud to get this rabble out of the street.
I get why people are nervous about prescribed burns, even though they are the answer. Yesterday there was a plume of smoke from a barn fire in Petaluma that was extremely visible three towns over. People were pulling over to the side of the road to get out their cars freak out and stare at it and ask each other if they knew what it was and check for Nixles and Watch Duty alerts. We’re a bit jumpy about smoke around here.
