Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Tesla's first fully autonomous car drove itself to its new Texas owner, doing 72 mph on the highway, an engineer saysEnglish
3·5 个月前It has to be Tesla that’s liable I guess, when there’s no safety driver. Although I didn’t find any good example of a legal precedent in such cases.

141·10 个月前There was too little rain this year which made the fires much worse.

15·10 个月前I fail to understand why they stick with fossil fuels even though renewable deployments are cheaper than ever. Although there’s misinformation and politics, they should look at long term profits…

Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Tesla finally wide releases v13 'self-driving', Elon says your mind will be blown againEnglish
4·11 个月前HW3 owners can now expect “a much updated v12.6.”
It’s crazy how they left HW3 and below cars abandoned. Tesla’s promises are worthless.

Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Tesla's social media posts falsely implied that its cars are robotaxis, NHTSA warnsEnglish
8·1 年前Damn it looks even more likely as per this article:
At the moment, there is a major obstacle to Musk’s self-driving ambitions: Federal regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have been hesitant to lay out a path for approving the next generation of robotic vehicles.
But with Musk now firmly in Trump’s inner circle, the billionaire is in a stronger position to influence development of federal rules that would put more of the cars on the road — an approach he proposed in a recent call with financial analysts.

Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Waymo meets water fountainEnglish
3·1 年前Lol, atleast it was the safest option. Somebody mentioned that Waymo’s remote assistance was able to guide around it later.
The most ideal handling would be to take the adjacent lane like a human would I guess.

Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•US probes Tesla's Full Self-Driving software in 2.4 million cars after fatal crashEnglish
4·1 年前The U.S. auto safety regulator said it was opening the preliminary evaluation after four reports of crashes where FSD was engaged during reduced roadway visibility like sun glare, fog, or airborne dust. In one crash “the Tesla vehicle fatally struck a pedestrian. One additional crash in these conditions involved a reported injury,” NHTSA said.

Futurology@futurology.today•Climate Change Is Drying Up All the World’s Rivers at an Alarming RateEnglish
15·1 年前“It has also become more erratic and unpredictable,” she told the newspaper, “and we are facing growing problems of either too much or too little water.”
Climate change disturbs the rainfall distribution patterns, leading to extreme rain in some areas and less in others. It’s a very complex system and there are a lot of variables evolved. One example is changing wind patterns that creates high pressure regions that we see during heatwaves.

Futurology@futurology.today•Ending jet lag: Scientists discover secret to regulating our body clockEnglish
15·1 年前The study also addressed the wider implications of these findings. CK1δ plays a role in several important processes beyond circadian rhythms, including cell division, cancer development, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. By better understanding how CK1δ’s activity is regulated, scientists could open new avenues for treating not just circadian rhythm disorders but also a range of conditions.

Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•Hyundai's new US-made IONIQ 5 is getting the Waymo robotaxi treatmentEnglish
3·1 年前I suppose Waymo’s fleet is already mostly electric by now. I remember them using Cryslers before, but then switched to I-Pace.

Autonomous Vehicles@futurology.today•GM is working on an eyes-off, hands-off driving systemEnglish
2·1 年前These hands-off, eyes-off systems — also known in the industry as Level 3 or L3 — are not self-driving cars like the ones Waymo operates (which are considered Level 4). Instead, they typically operate only on highways and at reduced speeds. And unlike a robotaxi, the driver is still required to take control if needed.















I don’t think we’re past all the climate tipping points; that’d start to cause runaway changes. Swift action right now would still provide a chance to lessen the impact.
The worst case scenarios would be truly disastrous though, and would cause secondary human conflicts due to unavailability of basic resources.
