In China Trade War, Apple Worries It Will Be Collateral Damage
It's not about "play with some toys". It's about saving lives. Tens of thousands of people are killed by cars every year in the US alone. And the primary causes of those fatalities are the kinds of things most easily addressed by automation - lane drift. Running red lights and stop signs. Speeding. Driving too fast for conditions. Aggressive maneuvering leading to loss of control.

Drunken or distracted driving, by itself, doesn't kill. It leads to the behaviors that kill, like lane drift and speeding and running lights. These are all things that autonomous cars handle really well.

>What evidence do you have that there is zero evidence?

You're really contorting yourself here, just give me an apples to apples comparison of human driving safety to self-driving vehicle safety and I'll be happy. (Hint: none exists)

>That is not a fully autonomous vehicle, but rather an assisted one, one that expects human engagement. In the example case, it failed because of human error.

No no, no word games. That is a Tesla marketing/liability line. What you see in that video is the current state of self-driving. And a product marketed as self-driving which can't steer around a stopped vehicle in the lane isn't really self-driving at all. Besides if what you're talking about is Level 5 type self-driving systems, you have nothing supporting the idea that we get there soon or that current self-driving systems will get us there.

I mean besides if drunk drivers could navigate around that car then you're basically admitting that drunk drivers are still better than the current state of self-driving technology. (something I agree with)

>ABS

...

I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not against technological progress which makes vehicles safer. I'm against the understanding that self-driving technology is making cars safer.

>Your criticism of Tesla sensors is flawed. You're assuming that their sensors will not get better. That seems an unreasonable and unlikely conclusion. And you're ignoring my point about 360 degree sensor coverage. I'm an excellent driver, but I find myself in danger regularly because I can't see everything.

And you're assuming that their sensors will leap and bound ahead magically. You're trying to make me argue that humans are better drivers than the perfect system that exists in your head. I'm saying the perfect system that exists in your head is irrelevant because it is not going to become reality.
Now that, I agree with. Their reasoning may be unsound, but politics isn't always about reason.

I'm not sure quite what you are looking for, but you can browse tariff rates at the WTO website http://tariffdata.wto.org/ . It would be nice to find a better source, though.

For example, China has a 65% tariff on cereals such as wheat and rice, a 50% tariff on sugar, a 57% tariff on some tobacco products, and a 50% tariff on some fertilizers. (This is for other WTO members, or "most favored nation (MFN)".)

The United States has WTO MFN tariffs of 132-164% on some peanuts and peanut products (e.g., peanut butter), and 350% on some tobacco products.

The two main pricing models, today, are:
1) fixed monthly fee for one providers' content (e.g. Netflix)
2) pay-by-the-drink (e.g. $3.99 for this episode)

I spend a lot less on pay-by-the-drink services than I do on recurring subscriptions. Cognitively, every time I initiate a purchase, I pause, and decide whether I want to spend the money. With a subscription service, I only have to make that choice once.

What about a recurring 'credit' service?
e.g. sign up for a $30/month recurring service, and you get 50 credits to watch content from a variety of providers?

I wonder if the writer of the article read the same Culture novels I did. Or read them at all. "In each novel, the Culture faces an enemy that does not agree with their values." I recall that mostly the Culture reacted to aggression. Further, stuff like "for the Gzilt, they wanted them not to 'sublime', or transcend the known universe" is just plain wrong. In the case of the Idirans, the war was put to a referendum and not decided by the Minds.

It says something that I'd disagree about who won in the contest in the epigraph. Fooling a flock of birds sounds much harder than fooling somebody of the same species, not because birds are better at perception but because they're too alien for the same tricks to work on them. A painting of grapes that would attract birds probably wouldn't look particularly representational to humans; it'd be a kind of art that required conceptual flexibility and a deep understanding of both birds and grapes. Something, indeed, that you'd expect to see only in a modern art museum.

This is ridiculous.

You're saying people don't have a right to use a certain name because it meant something else hundreds of years ago.

Your comment is as flawed as "my culture is not your prom dress." Nobody has a monopoly on culture.* That's now how culture works. It's always changing and shifting, and getting borrowed between people.

Go back far enough in history, and you'll see that Greek identity didn't always exist. Greece was a bunch of independent city states, and people were more likely to identify with that city state than with the notion of a greater Greece.

*That is not to say that every borrowing of culture is respectful, or fair. Obviously, whenever you borrow from another culture you must be responsible in how you do so.

> Trying to "hurry up" and prevent those deaths could counter-intuitively lead to more deaths because the infrastructure and auditing processes were not proved out and slowly ramped up to real traffic scenarios.

You assert this, but provide no reasoning. I mean, the status quo is "hurrying up", since there are no general standards companies are being held to, and yet only one company has killed anyone, and surprise surprise, it's the company with an extensive history of ethical problems, and they screwed up in a way that's really obvious and foreseeable.

The status quo is a free for all, and yet we don't have much in the way of deaths and injuries from the millions of miles being driven by computers. It seems like companies are already themselves being fairly safe, so how many deaths would you actually be avoiding by implementing more stringent standards right now?

The driver had actually been road-raging with another driver when he hit the bicyclist. He wasn't directing his anger at the cyclist. (edit: He had also left a bar, and may have been drunk, but he was not connected to the hit-and-run for days, so there was no evidence to charge him with drunk driving.)

This doesn't seem like a huge leap to me at all. If he'd been driving responsibly, he probably would not have hit the cyclist. And autonomous drivers don't get angry or careless. Your follow-on about imaginary scenarios kind of underscores the weakness of that argument.

And I do agree that a raging driver taking control from the automation continues to be a problem. But that's no worse than the original situation, now is it?

Reading the comments I think people are forgetting this is a cooercive and retaliatory tariff on China, not a merchantislist policy. Is someone going to change their whole supply chain if this gets resolved in 3-6 months? The US is arguing that effectively China has been waging a trade war with the US and has merchantialist and nationalistic economic policies that make it difficult for US companies to compete.
You’re begging the question. Given performance to date, real world deployment is no way certain to be as safe - much less safer - than human drivers at the current state of the tech.

I don’t doubt it will get there and, when it does, these profit-oriented corner-cutting behemoths had better have a shit ton of data to prove it. when they’ve proven the premise you’re taking for granted.

Then I’ll happily see this tech widely deployed.

Maybe star power is more of a sign of acceleration than usage. For example, if I have several projects in react, and then I start to move into Vue, it is not like I am going to convert my past projects over to Vue as well. I'll only be starting my future projects in Vue.

Until you show statistics that prove self-driving cars can save lives, you're just emoting. In the meantime, we have several proven solutions to save lives, like public transportation, or encouraging bicycling (as the Netherlands did in response to their accident crisis).
Just most of them. Certainly there are some edge cases where the other country's tariffs are so egregious the damage to the home country's citizens/ economy is helped by the tariff and they can be used to prevent dumping, but in anything close to ideal markets/ classical economics, tariffs are more likely to impose a cost on the host country's consumers while giving most of the benefit to a small group.

When a human-driven car kills someone, the driver is held responsible and faces some sort of punishment. When a self-driving car kills someone, it's not clear that there are consequences, meaningful or otherwise, for anyone besides the person killed. Until this changes, I am fine with having a hardline stance against autonomous vehicles on the same road I'm on.
This is excellent news! I hope T-Mobile follows suit. I'm actually surprised they weren't in the lead on this, given their attempts to be the "un-carrier."

Sure, but you can fit a 4-person family [1] into a Toyota Corolla, even with car seats and a stroller. I've seen it done plenty of times.

I suppose creating an interventionist near-utopia won't be so bad if we don't run into any other intelligent life. The ethics of intervention are complicated enough between humans, so I'm happy to defer worrying too much about the ethics of interfering with other intelligent life until we find it. And other than that, the Culture's post-scarcity near-utopia sounds pretty great, especially compared to the current state of humanity.

Maybe you are right, but I would challenge the assumption that the overwhelming majority of people want cars and want to live in the suburbs. Many lament having to live there, but have little choice due to factors such as cost, schools, crime, etc. It is interesting to see how many American's choose for vacation, a high density hotel, condos, cruises, etc. Maybe Americans prefer living in villages and higher density communities more than people realize.

> There is a high chance, that drivers most likeky to die in a car accident are less likely to use SDC.

Possible, but speculative.

> Also, estimating how safe sekf-driving car is you should take into account all the cases where human took over.

Sure, but on the other hand, the SDC's are continually improving as a group in a way that is not true for humans. This makes it harder to extrapolate into the future one way or the other.

> Also there are many accidents in weather conditions where self driving car would not be able to drive at all.

If you mean environments where humans also can't drive worth a damn, yes, probably true, although SDC's may yet prove better, since that's a technical problem rather than a social understanding one.

But 90%+ of accidents involve human error, so even if you can't completely eliminate deaths, you can still radically reduce them.

> And the primary causes of those fatalities are the kinds of things most easily addressed by automation - lane drift. Running red lights and stop signs. Speeding. Driving too fast for conditions. Aggressive maneuvering leading to loss of control.

That's the thing. Fair enough, autonomous cars cannot be drunk or sleepy, but they have _others_ issues that "are most easily addressed by human driving". A human might be distracted, but it won't see a bicyclist for 10 seconds while thinking "I shouldn't do anything in case it's a false positive". Human driver won't directly swerve in a concrete wall because it followed to wrong white line. Human driver will predict better the trajectory of other humans, especially infants.

All in all, I do agree that automation can bring improvements to road safety, but in the current situation, it is not clear at all if this can counteract the automation downsides. It will surely improve, but hastiness might not be the way to go here...
