Alex A.

17:21

@Calvin'sHobbies That's a rather frightening thought. I never would have thought of driving as something that would become obsolete.

Surely they'd have to learn manual operation in case of some kind of failure in the self-driving system though.

mınxomaτ

@Calvin'sHobbies My car (VW) already is pretty "self-driving". You can essentially let go of steering, pedals and anything else (on the autobahn) and it will drive safely, adapt speed, steer, brake etc. It also parks itself (since the latest software-update even in any direction). That's spooky enough for me. :D

Alex A.

@Calvin'sHobbies ಠ_ಠ <-- surely you saw that coming

Thomas Kwa

@AlexA. Without experience, they won't be nearly as good drivers.

PhiNotPi

I think the rules were that you had a byte-count limit, and had to print as many of the numbers in the list as possible.

Thomas Kwa

I think self-driving cars shouldn't rely on humans as a backup, because we'll all be much worse at driving due to lack of practice.

TimmyD

17:23

@AlexA. I agree with Thomas. I'd rather they have no experience and sit on the side of the road waiting for AAA than think they know how to drive and cause a worse situation.

Alex A.

@TimmyD So driving would be a kind of specialty skill, then? Because if AAA is coming, surely someone needs to know how to drive.

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. Maybe, at least know how to stop it safely. But if in 20 years all the new cars on the market are autonomous taking over a cars controls may seem like a really weird idea

quartata

Of course the problem with self-driving cars are people who don't have self-driving cars

mınxomaτ

Also, this was today:

> The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, has announced today that it will recognize Google’s self-driving car system as a legal driver. The announcement comes after Chris Urmson, the head of Google’s self-driving car project, petitioned that the government treat the initiative the same as it does normal driver cars.

Calvin's Hobbies

Yeah, that's how I got intrigued :D

TimmyD

@AlexA. The AAA tow-truck (or whatever) could be self-driving, too. I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that "I know how to drive a car" will be on par with "I know how to operate a backhoe" within 30 years. Sure, specialty situations and people will still know, but the vast majority of people don't know and don't care.

Calvin's Hobbies

@TimmyD good analogy

TimmyD

@Calvin'sHobbies Hah, pseudo-ninja'd

Alex A.

17:37

@Calvin'sHobbies I imagine that machines could scan each address on the envelopes, determine where they need to go, load them onto the appropriate self-driving mail cars, give them a route that's most efficient, then send them on their way. The cars could be entirely unmanned; a robotic arm could just as easily extract mail from the outgoing box and enter mail into the appropriate slots. (Perhaps even more accurately than could a human, at least at some point.)

Calvin's Hobbies

Hmm, how would car insurance work? If you get in an accident and aren't driving is the car company liable?

Alex A.

@TimmyD That's a very good analogy. I don't even know what a backhoe is, which I think is relevant in this case. :P

quartata

@AlexA. This is already done to some extent, although I'm not sure we can trust OCR enough to completely automate it :P

Optical character recognition

It is widely used as a form of data entry from printed paper data records, whether passport documents, invoices, bank statements, computerised receipts, business cards, mail, printouts of static-data, or any suitable documentation. It is a common method of digitising printed texts so that it can be electronically edited, searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine...

feersum

Mail sorting has already been done automatically for a long time.

Alex A.

@Calvin'sHobbies Why would car insurance even be necessary if all cars are self-driving?

@feersum I ain't no mail man.

@quartata OIC(R)

quartata

@feersum Sure, but surely the mailman still checks the mail to see if it is the right address before stuffing in the mail box.

That check will be gone if the delivery is fully automated.

Alex A.

@quartata Sort of. I get my neighbors' mail on occasion. :P

feersum

There will probably be less errors from the computer, same as driving.

I often get envelopes that the mailman stuck into the wrong box.

TimmyD

@AlexA. Non-vehicle-on-vehicle accidents (property damage, roadway conditions, animals, etc.)

Alex A.

@TimmyD Hm yeah.

Calvin's Hobbies

@quartata I believe the post office already uses OCR to read all but the worst written letter addresses (ninjad, etc)

quartata

I guess we'll have to see. I'd think OCR would make more mistakes than a human, but who knows. In 10-20 years I'm sure OCR technology will be a lot better.

@feersum Sure, but surely the mailman still checks the mail to see if it is the right address before stuffing in the mail box.

@quartata This is completely analogous to the argument that there should be no self-driving cars because the software can have bugs.

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. Well, some accidents are bound to happen, and the government will want someone to be liable

Alex A.

quartata

@Calvin'sHobbies hmm that's a good point

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. Probably right (for completely auto systems at least)

It depends on the accident. If it was caused by some sort of human intervention then I'd imagine the humans would be responsible

Roujo

PhiNotPi

Objects can be made more and more explosive, but I feel that an object of a given volume can only be ever so implosive.

Roujo

Implosion (mechanical process)

Implosion is a process in which objects are destroyed by collapsing (or being squeezed in) on themselves. The opposite of explosion, implosion concentrates matter and energy. True implosion usually involves a difference between internal (lower) and external (higher) pressure, or inward and outward forces, that is so large that the structure collapses inward into itself, or into the space it occupied if it is not a completely solid object. Examples of implosion include a submarine being crushed from the outside by the hydrostatic pressure of the surrounding water, and the collapse of a massive star...

VoteToClose

18:13

That looks as though someone decompiled the original and made their own version.

Eridan

Is that a problem for you?

VoteToClose

@Calvin'sHobbies I can confirm Roujo's comment - National Railways trains are mostly self-automated.

Roujo

@PhiNotPi When the implosion makes the object reach critical mass, you can end up with quite a bit of damage.

VoteToClose

@Eridan Kinda - but I found the original anyways, I had a backup in one of my many backup disks. Had to decompile my own source code, though.

I'll upload it to git in a second.
