Because we necessarily need higher standards for a self-driving system than for humans. A human failure is isolated; a machine failure is systemic.
I, as a somewhat normal driver, am not personally at much risk if some other driver decides to drive on the rails. That won't be true if I'm in a Waymo and there's nothing I can do about its bugs.
And I don't blame people who are skeptical that Waymo will be properly punished. In fact, do you suppose they were punished here?
yeah, sure, if you want to take everything that any human does as "being human" "by definition." Then I guess it's human to eat spiders and bathe in your own shit. I think it would be more useful to at least consider the normal level of behavior.
It is quite funny how exactly the current amount of taxes being requested by the local government is magically "fair." Although, of course, if taxes were raised, I'm sure you would still call that "fair." And countries where taxes are lower...well, the citizens must be scamming their government, I guess?
> And countries where taxes are lower...well, the citizens must be scamming their government, I guess?
Yes. The happiest countries have the highest taxes because they tax those able to contribute so that everybody has a decent standard of living. Who do you think works in local government? Aliens? It's the people who live there.
Wow. Can't wait for you to win the lottery and pay the government 80% of what you won in taxes and be happy about it.
Do you even know anyone poor? As in living off on less than $2-$5 a day? Or whatever the definition of poor is in your country? And if so, can you share here with the group why they're poor and continue being poor?
Why do I need to know them personally? Is it not enough that they exist? As I wrote above and you dismissed:
> "Yes, the single mother working three jobs in America who still can't afford healthcare for her children chooses to be poor. It's like success gets to your head and pride takes the place of empathy."
Is there any actual basis for any of what you wrote? Or are we supposed to think that your manufactured examples and numbers reflect reality for any reason?
