To clarify, glycemic and insulinemic response are correlated over time (i.e. a glycemic response is highly predictive of a corresponding insulinemic response), but the relative scale between the responses varies between individuals. Higher insulin response for a given level of blood glucose can be a sign of insulin resistance, which is associated with fat storing — and a long list of other very nasty metabolic outcomes.
Airbags save lives.

Airbags also kill babies if used incorrectly.

There are warning placards in several places in your car saying such.

Sometimes an airbag can cause more injury than the accident.

A seatbelt may trap you in a sinking car.

But overall, airbags and seatbelts have significantly reduced traffic injuries and fatalities.

Autopilot saves lives. Autopilot used incorrectly can kill people. But overall, Autopilot has significantly reduced the number of accidents involving Teslas.

So do we take airbags away because using them incorrectly might hurt a child? Are they a safety feature or marketing value?
Many were bored - they'd been working on it 5 years already.

Some thought the direction was wrong - not gathering enough test data (unlike Tesla).

Some thought they didn't have a big enough slice of the pie, and by moving to a startup and replicating the work they could earn way more through an acquisition by a carmaker.

Some saw the tech as fairly old. Remember much of Waymo's code was written by Urmson 10 years ago. Probably all C/C++. Not very nimble and quick to extend.

Some saw the fundamental approach wrong. Why not use neural nets for path planning and decision making rather than hand coded rules which will never cover enough cases to be good enough?

Some didn't want to be part of Googles risky approach. Too much pressure to get the cars on the road could kill people, and killing people, or the threat of it, is rather bad for morale. The leaders had this "even if it isn't perfect, it's better than current drivers" approach. Thats little comfort if it was your off by one error which caused the car to plough into a group of schoolchildren.

That's a big gamble. If that's what you're banking on there's a high risk that regulators will simply overreach and ban any type of ICO, or at least ban ICOs except to "accredited investors". You could build a trust system nobody trusts anyway, because the concept is discredited.
You know I take issue with Tesla on these incidents. They're trying to have it both ways. They market it as 'autopilot' to appeal to the dream of complete self-driving but if an accident actually happens it can never be the fault of autopilot. After all it's required for the driver to be paying attention so if they didn't override autopilot it's obvious they weren't paying attention. Really I'd like to see the government to step in and force Tesla to market their product more honestly.

Tesla does have a sensor in the wheel that "feels" for resistance on the wheel. In my experience, it's more than sensitive enough to be able to detect a hand being on the wheel, but is easily defeated by idiots.

I'd imagine Tesla wasn't thinking about how the driver alertness feature could be countered unfortunately. Perhaps we'll see Tesla adapting the eye tracking tech that Cadillac Hypercruise is using.

Imo some level of service even in areas not all that favorable to transit is reasonable. Or at least, I think it's possible to do at least slightly better. I now live in a fairly rural part of the UK, a remote region (Cornwall) that has no real urban areas. And yet just about every population concentration of over 1000 people or so, here, has a bus that does at least one round-trip a day. Towns of over 20,000 people have very good, regular service. Of course it's subsidized, and in the smaller villages it might literally only be once a day in each direction, but a service does run.

In many American towns and suburbs it seems not even that level of service is available. And it's not due to the distances or population density either. I used to live in a suburb of Houston, TX that had 60,000 people, was about 20 miles from downtown, and it had no bus service! Now I live in a smaller and more remote town in the UK, and it has decent bus service.

I deal with this objection a lot.

60% of this market is in the US; 40% or so is elsewhere. (That is not true of the prospective users of this, but it will be broadly true of the payers.) Half of "elsewhere" is in an elsewhere with compares-directly-to-US living standards.

$1 rounds to $7 for US and parity-with-us technologists; both require more bandwidth to make the decision, as a percentage of all available bandwidth, than they occupy a portion of the budget. $7 does not round to $1 for some technologists elsewhere.

You won't get their business at $7; you probably don't have it at $1, either, because they might find it difficult to physically get you a dollar. Subsidize their price down to zero by charging US technologists an appropriate amount.

Many people want to operate tech-facing businesses like charities for ideological reasons or because they have an exaggerated view of the size of the audience that won't/can't pay. That's suboptimal but survivable, if you at least operate like a competent charity. A charity which doesn't have a $250+ a year option cleanly presented to its donors who are in the top 2% of the US income distribution is not a competent charity.
Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!
Agreed. I am a big fan of Tesla and I used to make excuses for them on this but I think it’s b.s. they didn’t rename it after the incident where the guy died. Cool marketing names do not outweigh being totally honest and up front.

If I made rat poison that looked like candy and named it “Yummy Candy Rat Poison” and some kid died coz they ate it, I’d deserve some blame regardless of parents keeping poison away from kids.
All smart-assist cars are required to sense if the drivers are actually maintaining their hands of the wheel. I don't know if they are to disengage or merely to annoy the user, but Tesla is notorious for skirting these regulations.
Five Guys isn't fast food in the traditional sense - a basic cheeseburger/fries/drink is over $15 out here in southern California, whereas the same at In-N-Out is $6.

But in that market we do have Burger Lounge which goes well beyond In-N-Out's service level. We also have Luna Grill for Mediterranean, similar excellence in service and quality of food.
"ACAB" is a truism for a reason.
I couldn’t agree more. It baffles me how Tesla can get away with such blatant false advertising (it’s anything but “autopilot” in any layman sense), especially in light of there being multiple incidents of bad accidents which showed them at fault.
> It would be actually pretty nifty to have this in eg. `struct timespec` and overall base rtc around Flicks

I disagree. We already have enough confusion with time and another unit at the level of timespec is not helpful IMHO. The SI unit of time is the second and 1/sec is Hz, which are used everywhere in science and engineering. I don't want another non-SI time unit getting thrown around and messed up in calculations. 800 years doesn't even come close to covering a single precession rotation of the Earth (26,000 years).

The timespec structure already covers either 2^61 seconds (7.3 * 10^11 years) at an accuracy of a nanosecond. So that's enough to cover 72x the current age of the universe.

I have some experience in astronomical calculations. Things are already quite confusing there, since you often need a monotonically increasing time scale (without seconds leap seconds). There is already enough confusion if someone is in TAI, GPS, or UTC time. Julian day, commonly used in ephemeris calculations, works back to 4713 BC. Believe it or not, we sometimes want to get positions going back that for things like computing proper motions from ancient star catalogs, correlating supernova explosions, and various other recorded historical astronomical events.
No worries. We're always learning.

It seems like an apt name to me; it pilots your car automatically. The only detail omitted is how often it pilots you into plainly visible large objects at full speed.

It's true that people may be in particular need of a refresher, since such features could be perceived as more than advanced cruise control. It should be strongly emphasized to all drivers that we need to take full control whenever we see any exceptional conditions, from hazards, obstructions, pedestrians or wildlife in or entering the road, to poor visibility, and even when passing or being passed by small vehicles.
I believe parent is referring to the survivability of a 65 MPH head on crash into a heavy object.
There's lots of autopilot systems that smash into shit, sailboats are one of them, you can put your sailboat on autopilot and it's going to smash into stuff.

Samething with an airliner, autopilot will not avoid another aircraft.
It isn't called full self driving, it is called auto-pilot. In aviation, auto-pilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft without constant 'hands-on' control by a human operator being required. Autopilots do not replace human operators but assist them in controlling aircraft, allowing them to focus on broader aspects of operations.
If you get to the point of considering moving, you may wish to look into a college town. They'll typically have far more extensive transit than the average mid-sized city/town does.

Wow! Really really interesting indeed. Love to hear this from someone who ran SRE there. Thank you for sharing!!!
Hey, I'm doing my part.
From Elon's interview, he mentioned that 'autopilot' was a name akin to the flight autopilots. Pilots are never expected to get their eyes off the controls.

This crash is unfortunate and should be investigated. But autopilot naming is something I don't think is the problem.
Or often not available at any price.
The more I think about it, the more I think that there should be an outward signal, such as a special light, that a car is in self-driving mode. We already require signals when changing lanes, reversing, and for electric cars to be audible at low speeds (starting in 2019). Those nearby shouldn’t have to guess if a car is under computer control.
> would quit to compete unless they really thought they had a chance

I disagree. Autonomous vehicles were/are a gold rush, and there are companies with lots of money willing to pay Waymo's engineers to... "replicate"... their success at Waymo. Many of them had an expectation to be acquired by a company with no software chops but a significant stake in self-driving, and that's proved to be a reasonable assumption over the past few years.

For the engineers, it's kind of like chefs at restaurants leaving to start new restaurants that are the same concept, but don't have the same volume or brand recognition.

Yes, you have to start from scratch at the new company, but you also stand to profit much more (and do interesting, early-stage work).
I guess it's not all bad news - a collision with a stationary object at 65mph and the driver was able to walk away

I think Tesla has enough telemetry and miles driven to come up with some idea of whether or not miles traveled with Autopilot on have more or fewer deaths than cars in general.

I don't know what the answer is, but there's certainly evidence.
Sadly, we do the opposite. All the probes are sterilized first. Me, I'd send probes packed with extremophiles to every rock in the solar system that has an atmosphere.
I would be curious about the stats though, If accidents are less frequent, is it at fault for accidents, or did it save us from a bunch of accidents?
Yeah, the quote about the NTSB on a similar accident is telling: "the National Transportation Safety Board ruled that Autopilot contributed to the crash by allowing lengthy disengagement from the driving process."

In my view, driving is already boring enough that it's insufficiently attention-grabbing for safety's sake. That's why, e.g., the "naked streets" model is removing lane marking. Decreasing (false) certainty forces more cognitive engagement, making things safer: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/04/remova...

If anything, for the decades [1] while we're waiting for full automation, I'd like to see the equivalent of Threat Image Projection. It's the technology for luggage scanning where they put images of fake guns, bombs, etc in the images of real luggage. If the operator doesn't press the "threat" button they are alerted that they slipped up. It brings the frequency of important events up into the range where humans can pay attention. It'd be great to have the same thing for cars, so that AR images of deer, cyclists, children, and fire trucks appear; if you don't attempt to take evasive action, you lose points. [2]

The driver was uninjured, and although his car (which most people on this forum love) appears to be totalled, why is this an interesting news story?
Well, if you have solid technical experience, but are being very nervous and quiet, and a recruiter tells you straight to face that "culture fit is more important", then the reason for failing 30/30 interviews seems fairly clear.

Why don't you A/B test yourself? Take double dose of your favorite anxiolytic and dress more casually to next interview and see what happens. If you fail again then it's 31/31 and not a big loss.
What do you think human drivers should do differently when driving near a car that is under computer control?
I used to work at top graded Mackers (Mcdonald's reviews their stores and grades them) with a really awesome store manager and some great (took their jobs and quality very seriously) managers. The experience was great and really enjoyable. Unfortunately, the pay was just above minimum wage and the long term prospects were terrible.

I can totally see how these guys/gals would be loyal and sticky if taken care of. Hard work you can leave at the door is very satisfying if you don't feel like you're going nowhere...

Incidentally the 3x average sounds almost spot on; I believe our store manager was making about 70k and he was highly valued as a store "fixer" by the chain owner in the Dallas area.

Let me put another option out there for you:

Tesla wants autopilot

Emergency services want autonomy in being able to shut the freeway down.

How about PUT THE FUCKING AUTOPILOT SYSTEM IN THE EMERGENCY vehicles -- such that THEY can report to ANY auto driving car "SLOW DOWN we are doing emergency services [HERE]"

And then you get both -- The emergency services vehicles should be freaking beacons to any self/auto driving car.

To assume that this was short-sighted on either side is correct. Tesla should have been thinking about this, emergency services should have been thinking about this.

Why doesnt Tesla take their Semi model and make a Fire-Engine model????

My aunt even got her an ipad and showed her how to use the damn thing. FFS you press the button and a car comes. The concepts not hard and she's not that senile.
