a nanodegree
What is a Nanodegree program? What’s the experience like?
A Nanodegree program is a unique online educational offering designed to equip you with the skills you need, to land the job you want, so you can build the life you deserve.
It looks like corporations have given up on hiring college degreed snowflakes, and are now target-training. Win win.
Sleep to and from work.....
Can’t imagine permitting self-drivers and human operated to coexist. I suspect several lanes of interstate highways will be segregated for automated cars. The distances between vehicles could be compressed and speeds could increase as automation improves. Merging at highway speed would be seamless. And you wouldn’t have to flail away blindly behind your back to get a hold of a misbehaving child.
It’ll begin with large overnight long-haul truckers - no clock to worry about. Long runs, fast speed, and no tired humans will make for safer, faster and cheaper hauling. That’s a lot of high paying blue collar DJT voters who will be replaced.
What’s happening now is what should have been foreseen in this dysfunctional society. feral-Americans are attacking, hijacking, and destroying self-driving cars.
I would start up a driving school.
You’ll have to pry my steering wheel
from my cold dead hands.
How are autonomous vehicles going
to work unless all current vehicles
are replaced all at once. I’ve said
this before, self driving cars will
read current speed limits, and maintain
that speed. A bad mix in big cities like
Houston or Dallas. They will have difficulties overcoming the human
factors of driving a vehicle. There
are a lot of egos on America’s roads.
Self-driving is still probably 20 years away from actually occurring and maybe thirty years from acceptance. The thing I see is that the insurance companies are going to have a problem because the cars will take into account weather conditions and traffic patterns, and drive at a lower rate of speed. Fewer accidents will come out of this in the long run...to the degree that insurance rates will have to be cut in half.
Maybe she should give some thought to the misuse of the technology, such as a terrorist using it to deliver a bomb to city hall or the court house. Bet that affects the actuarial tables. And talking about risk, who is liable when the car gets in an accident?
I’m very skeptical of these “autonomous vehicles”.
Well, there is "Walmart Greeter"; The "you want fries with that?" person, and Starbucks 'barista'.
AV’s are already on the roads in limited areas.
They’ve been on the roads with safety drivers for awhile already. I believe there are some without safety drivers in a couple of areas.
Bet you, a dollar to a donut, you will
never see a cop in one of these cars.
They are just another tool in the
attempt to control the masses. Let’s
get everybody moving at a controlled
rate of speed. I’m not overly
enthusiastic about napping on my
way to work.
The president of GM is pushing hard for this, he is also a socialist democrat.
First on the agenda would be to prevent humans from driving as it throws too many possibilities in for robots to deal with.
Georgia has already pushed for an interstate highway system closed to just trucks and we’ve heard of companies pushing for (ordering?) driverless trucks for shipment.
>>They are just another tool in the attempt to control the masses. Let’s get everybody moving at a controlled rate of speed.
And when they want you to stop (for a ticket or to clear the way for an escorted vehicle), they could cut your motor. It’s for your own good, you see.
Mandated curfew? Inoperable.
Hunker down.
Don’t forget about someone/thing causing an accident.
Some driverless cars are said to have no steering wheel or brake. You are stuck in a fast moving box. You are at the whim of another man or machine.
Just don’t do any investigative journalism and they may let you live.
