Readit News> the pedestrian suddenly entered the roadway from behind a tall SUV, moving directly into our vehicle's path. Our technology immediately detected the individual as soon as they began to emerge from behind the stopped vehicle. The Waymo Driver braked hard, reducing speed from approximately 17 mph to under 6 mph before contact was made.
> Following contact, the pedestrian stood up immediately, walked to the sidewalk, and we called 911. The vehicle remained stopped, moved to the side of the road, and stayed there until law enforcement cleared the vehicle to leave the scene.
> Following the event, we voluntarily contacted the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that same day.
I honestly cannot imagine a better outcome or handling of the situation.
What I would like to see is a full-scale vehicle simulator where humans are tested against virtual scenarios that faithfully recreate autonomous driving accidents to see how "most people" would have acted in the minutes leading up to the event as well as the accident itself
You could improve it by making the cylinders have sticky-out bits that would scoosh the fluid around better, like little paddle wheels, and if you wanted to get some serious torque transfer you'd push the two paddle wheels so close together that the paddles actually kind of intersect.
Earlier in my career, I found that my employers would often not buy Matlab licenses, or would make everyone share even when it was a resource needed daily by everyone. Not having access to the closed-source, proprietary tool hurt my ability to be effective. So I started doing my "whiteboard coding" in Julia and still do.

I think it seems pretty interesting.
It's hard to recycle electronics, because separating materials that are chemically bonded together is very labor intensive and isn't worth it from the price of aluminum, copper, lithium, etc alone.
It would have to cost more to dispose of a laptop for this to work out financially.
Was drone-proofing civilian cars a mistake?
Ideally I would want to use Linux but I also want to play games that are only supported on windows.
Does using WSL help or is an outdated windows base still going to be the weakest link in the security onion?
Even in a very well functioning system similar cases might happen eventually, anyway (but at a much lower frequency). ROC plots come to mind.
