This sounds like a bad idea. I doubt people will respond with proper context, especially given that it will still be lacking in information. We already see people here making assumptions without sufficient evidence. Anything with cars and cyclists is always heated and we just get a lot of biases.

I think it is better that we distinguish that this type of event does not actually inform us about the safety of driverless cars nor does it provide enough information to adequately update our positions in either direction. It is void of so much context that it is essentially just noise. These things are hard to measure and even harder to make accurate decisions on. In an extreme case, it is possible for driverless cars to be "better than humans" at driving in the notion of accidents per mile (even normalized) while also being "worse than humans" in the notion of striking cyclists or pedestrians. "Accidents per mile" marginalizes the type of accident, but this would be important information as to making effective policy about when and where a driverless car can deploy (e.g. on average fewer accidents but most miles are on the highways. If there's a high rate of failure in detecting children in suburban settings, I sure wouldn't want that car driving in residential areas. The nuance matters). I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of us here on HN have a poor concept as to what the actual nuanced data says here and personally I feel like a video would only further sensationalize the event. I would not be surprised if a video were released which showed that Waymo could have not performed any better (without x-ray vision or omniscience) yet it also be used to further cases against them. I'm sure most people would make an accurate and reasonable conclusion upon seeing the video, but I still don't have faith that that means it wouldn't end up being sensationalized.

I think all of us agree that cars shouldn’t blow through intersections, neither should bicycles. It definitely raises my eyebrows more if cars do it (rare but sadly increasingly less rare) vs if bicycles do get it (fairly common).
> Cyclists have a bad rep in SF because many (not all) ride quite dangerously. It's a common sight to see cyclists running four-way stop signs and lights without even yielding.

Pick any stop sign in SF. Watch it for an hour and count the number of cars that come to a complete stop. The denominator doesn't matter because the numerator will be ~0.

Trains are also a solved problem, and seem like a much better solution to the problem. With rails, a vast majority of the complexity around driving goes away. They also remove traffic instead of keeping it the same or making it worse. Less traffic would likely mean fewer accidents, even if humans are still the ones driving. And batching transit together, with dozens of people in one vehicle is going to be far more energy efficient than everyone running their own vehicle. It also solves the issue of drunk driving, distracted driving, and bad drivers in general, as everyone is just a passenger.

So much money, time, talent, and energy has gone into this self driving stuff, and it seems like a massive misallocation of resources. They’re solving the wrong problem.

It's simple selfishness. Cyclists don't want to lose their momentum. Coasting is fun and exertion is not; humans evolved to minimize their energy expenditure. To fix that, you'd need to redesign the bicycle to be completely battery powered. Even then, acceleration will be slower than not stopping. Cyclists will try to rationalize their behavior in all kinds of ways, but they're just lying to themselves (and you).

I'm not associated with Unison Computing and I haven't yet had a chance to use it for a professional project but learning the language and exploring their approach to tooling has been an absolute thrill.

I actually found out about Unison because from my own side projects I came to the conclusion that strongly typed, hash-addressed functions were a super compelling approach to highly modular and maintainable programming - especially in the context of LLM-generated code because refactorings and new function generation require very limited context - something desirable for humans but especially for LLMs with limited context. After digging around for something that did this I found Unison and have now mostly abandoned my own tooling because Unison is so much more mature and has such competent people behind the wheel.

There is a learning curve for sure, not just with the tooling but also the language. It's a challenging language steeped in advanced software engineering principles, but I would 100% rather spend my time honing my fundamental understanding of my craft rather than learning another 20 AWS tools which are going to go out of style in 12 months. After becoming mildly proficient in Unison I feel like I have such a broader understanding of programming in general even though I've been a full time backend coder for 15+ years.

As for the tooling, it does what it needs to and does it well with very competent folks discussing and debating the minutia daily. It's a small team and that keeps them nimble with major improvements taking place each month.

Today I'd say that it excels at microservices, things you might otherwise consider a traditional serverless function for, but gives you way more agility and brevity to tweak the application in a surgical and controlled way which is more aligned with the behavior rather than text files. Something just feels very right about storing the AST as-is and manipulating it more directly.

Tomorrow, as more supporting libraries get built and interfaces to outside of Unison get developed, anything's possible really - I'm personally certain that we'll see some amount of continued shift towards making ASTs the source of truth so I see learning about it and following the software as an investment in myself and my future capabilities regardless of whether the future software ends up being Unison or something like it. Unison is going out of their way to do all the right things even if it's not always the most practical thing given the current corroded state of web engineering in general, so I'm eager to get in on that as much as possible.
If you choose to blow through the stop sign because it "looks safe", you should bear the full responsibility for that decision. (I say this as an avid cyclist who sometimes blows through stop signs.)

That the US should be giving bunker busters, predator drones, and other modern long range munitions that can end a war in days instead of years to our allies proactively as a deterrent instead of trying to fund a modern war with 20th century weapons like short range artillery.

I'm a cyclist and support these types of laws. But I could imagine someone making the same case for a car (or a motorcycle?). You can have high visibility and come towards a 4-way stop in the middle of nowhere and there's not another car in sight. It doesn't really make sense.
For cycling of course it's super annoying to lose your momentum.
> because coming to a full stop at a stop sign makes no sense for riders with high visibility.

For anyone wondering why I give an explanation here[0]. The tldr is you need to move to be safe and it is harder to get a bike moving than it is a car. It's best to contextualize any such arguments around the operations that go into operating the vehicle and cars and bikes have a lot of differences. Those differences are why cars are more popular (Sure, more energy but motor vs legs. If you want to make the argument that it is easier for a bike you better not get frustrated when a bike is slow to get to speed when you're behind them at a stoplight or stop-sign).

It is extremely common, the default really, for cars to roll through 4-way stops.
No system is is full-proof (Exhibit A: Jurassic Park ;). Accidents will happen. My question is who will be liable: the owner of the car, or Waymo/Cruise/Tesla etc.?
Fwiw, I don't have it installed but was just perusing the app reviews on the Play store. I'm curious how this is even possible.

> I doubt that something close to Vietnam can happen again either. (And even for a 2nd Vietnam, I doubt that any significant artillery would be used when, as you point out, missiles are an option.)

Artillery would be huge, missiles are great but they're expensive and you run out quickly. Afghanistan/Iraq were already being compared to Vietnam, and while you don't see it on the news so much, most of the kills in those conflicts were with artillery.
While that makes perfect sense, I have read journalists claiming that Teslas were 110% efficient because of regenerative braking.

> count the number of cars that come to a complete stop

You’re conflating two different phenomena, perhaps purposefully.

California drivers do often fail to come to a technical stop at intersections, but they first slow to a near-zero speed that very nearly accomplishes the same purpose.

In contrast, a large number of cyclists do not slow at all, and blast through red lights at full speed.

Despite all that American school children learn about Fries as a foundational rebellion and an example of the difference between a strong federal government and the articles based weak one.

> It's simple selfishness.

This is a weird characterization of what's going on given you have an apt description. I've only been struck by cars (twice) when stopped at a stop sign. It's no question that an intersection is one of the most dangerous locations for a cyclist and it is also no question that an intersection can be cleared significantly faster when starting with __any__ amount of momentum vs a complete stop. Specifics will be necessary for making adequate conclusions here. Someone blindly blowing through an intersection certainly clears the intersection faster but that alone doesn't mean the behavior is appropriate or any less idiotic. And someone doing that is very different from someone slowing down and treating the stop sign like a yield sign. An over generalization is just going to lead to irrational conclusions because context is necessary.
> 10,000 shells can be displaced by 100 missiles.
