If nothing changes, the risk is of a modern-day tragedy of the commons. The shared resource of the open web will be over-exploited, leading to its eventual exhaustion. If that process is not stopped, one of the great common properties of humanity could be gravely diminished. The tragedy of the web would be a tragedy for everyone.
Yes, they are testing autonomous driving, but still legally is mandatory to have a real driver, and probably what they are doing now is training the AI and testing it against real driving conditions.
Because we are talking about a completely new technology with autonomous ridepooling, we cannot fully rely on existing empirical values. A special feature of the pilot project is therefore the early combination of technology, operation and customer experience. It allows us to test the operating procedures under real conditions in a safe and systematic setup. We will start in an initial test area in Hamburg: East of the Alster, it includes parts of Winterhude, Uhlenhorst and Hohenfelde and a route network of about 50 kilometres.
With complex road conditions and many traffic challenges, it offers ideal conditions for us. In addition to public transport, autonomous ridepooling can also relieve traffic congestion. To prepare for the deployment of the autonomous driving vehicles, it has already been started surveying (mapping) the service area. Intensive test drives with and without passengers as well as testing of the now increasingly automated tasks in the vehicle, which are currently performed by our drivers, will also follow up until 2025.
I've been in Hamburg and found these mini-bus. They are kind of passenger vans, but with specific interiors for easy operations for a bus-like usability.
They are autonomous, but with a driver for test-legal-security reasons.
Routes are on demand, not fixed. So it's like the Carriot service (long time ago, when web 2.0 was a thing) but now aiming for self driving.
Interesting, among other things, is that it's a Volkswagen company, but a totally new brand and the busses-vans have no VW brand nor exterior design, they are full new designed vehicles.
A man in Galicia (Spain) forgot a lighter in a pocket, filled with gas. When in the dryer it caused an incredible explosion that would have killed him, saving his life by seconds.
I cannot believe it was actually a lighter; I blew up a fair number of lighters during my pyromaniac youth and never witnessed anything remotely like the explosion in this video. You get a pop and a flash - it's not especially dangerous. This looks like it had to have been a much larger mass of fuel inside a pressurized container.
Which tool is used to create the circle distribution? I was trying to find a tool to create something like this one https://cdn.howmuch.net/content/images/1600/world-gdp-update... which is similar in the sense of distributing the shapes inside the circle.
Could anyone help me?
Stripe provides SCA as a standalone product. They connect with the bank issuer of the CC, prompts the Challenge asked by the bank, and then Stripes sends if it's ok or not.
Question: Wouldn't create that noise for others, while cancelling most of the noise for you? The sound waves you create for cancelling cancels sound at one point, but keeps moving and creates noise beyond that. Isn't it?
