... But what I can tell you is that if you get into your 20s without being to handle a plain-Jane passenger car in ordinary traffic, and you are not a native New Yorker, I’m going to make a few assumptions about what kind of man you are.
In my opinion, a man who is old enough to get his PhD should be able to drive a car, ride a motorcycle, understand most basic types of machinery, operate a firearm, calculate a tip, handle a confrontation with another man whether through diplomacy or force as required, and take a woman on a date (if that’s his bag, baby) without finishing the night either alone or under investigation for harassment.
I’m not saying that you have to engage in the sort of nature-Zoolander cosplay that made former Jalopnik writer Wes Siler a laughingstock. It’s THE CURRENT YEAR and I doubt that any of us will be forced to subsistence hunt in the near future.
But young men should be encouraged to learn and develop the skills they will need to be something other than helpless outside of Park Slope or Mountain View...
Vahid = snowflake in Millennialese.
Am I supposed to already know who Kazemi is, and what he tweeted, before I read this article? I’ve read the article, and I have no idea what it’s about.
self-driving cars is part of AI-Artificial Intelligence.
All AI is inflicted with the same problem...bias.
Bias is also the plague of predictive modeling and preditive analytics. Bias is the plague of new tech.
Smart people who are biased think they are too smart to be biased and they truly do not know and are not aware of their bias. Of course, they are also defensive if they begin to get a glimpse of their bias. Revealing the bias, and their ignorance of the bias, might reveal that they aren’t as smart as everybody thinks they are.
I recently had occasion to drive a car with lane departure warning. It shakes the wheel to warn you. It was very disconcerting because it repeatedly 'warned' for no reason at all.
I never want a car deciding things for me, especially one designed by people who can't do what I can do.
There’s nothing like the topic of self driving cars to get some people enraged.
Autonomous cars will be mandated for several reasons:
90% of all automotive fatalities are driver error.
Autonomous vehicles are the left’s “mass transit” dream come true without the heavy infrastructure needed for rail.
People resisted ATMs and preferred bank tellers. How did that go for the “resistance” to automation?
FReepers need to understand that autonomous cars will be forced on the people. Private ownership of a vehicle will be like private ownership of a horse.....something reserved for a select few and only in private settings.
Sounds like a Muslim terrorist to me:
“Kazemi, Kazimi or Kazmi is a surname ...The surname can be linked back to the family of Islamic Prophet Muhammad’s great-grandson Imam Musa al-Kadhim”
Anyone designing RV parks should have personal experience parking a Travel Trailer. Then they won’t make sites 90 degrees to a narrow roadway.
If that way of thinking is taken to its logical limits then one would have to claim that monkeys weren't made to fly planes, drive trucks, operate refineries or nuclear power plants.
In fact we weren't meant to do much of anything we do now in the 21st century. So I guess we need to do everything possible to get AI to do every job so that we can all go on UBI (Universal Basic Income) and become the zoo animals that nature meant us to be.
The future sure isn't what it used to be.
Artificial Intelligence meets Genuine Stupidity — The results are not pretty.
