This entire article is about them discovering issues during simulations and then fixing them before deploying to the streets.
So if your attempt is genuinely to question their intentions then it should be very obvious what those intentions are.
The only person being hyperbolic is you acting like a shill for this company
Stating facts from the article and being reasonable is hyperbole?
Even before GM, Cruise has been using their vehicles on public roads since 2020. How many kids has it killed since then?
The answer is precisely zero.
Over that same period human drivers killed about 528 pedestrian children.
Now “foul!” You may cry, as the data is for national averages versus isolated incidents, to which I would both agree and point out that Cruise has been operating in 13 major metropolitan cities now.
“Well that’s all fine and dandy, money_loo, but just you wait until the day they hit and kill a kid!”
Which just brings us back to the entire point of the article, how they are doing everything they can to insure that, y’know, their cars never hit any kids…
We’ve just got another extremely misleading technology hating title here.
In its statement, Cruise said, “It is inaccurate to say that our AVs were not detecting or exercising appropriate caution around pedestrian children” — a claim undermined by internal Cruise materials reviewed by The Intercept and the company’s statement itself. In its response to The Intercept’s request for comment, Cruise went on to concede that, this past summer during simulation testing, it discovered that its vehicles sometimes temporarily lost track of children on the side of the road. The statement said the problem was fixed and only encountered during testing, not on public streets
So they found out during internal testing that children were sometimes being identified as adults. That’s it. It wasn’t missing kids entirely, and it never endangered a single one. They recognized a problem during testing and fixed it, meanwhile in the three months of testing to bug fix it, about 25 kids under 14 were killed by human drivers.
But whatever, just more fear mongering and hyperbole from Lemmy!
You can have empathy for the guy while also recognizing that he definitely didn’t kill himself because liberals found out and wanted to love and accept him.
As someone who watched the entire two hour debate yesterday I’ll just say don’t hold your breath hoping that anything happens.
Had to watch one lawyer explain the law to a bunch of judges that clearly didn’t understand it, culminating with the judges agreeing they could charge trump, but shifting the argument to whether or not they SHOULD because it would set a precedent…
…and the second lawyer agreeing there is no legal reason they can’t charge trump, but arguing they shouldn’t because no one else has done it before, so why should they start now? Basically trying to get them to ignore the letter of the law and agree with themselves.
At one point lawyer 1 had to explain how states rights works to the judges, and convince them it’s okay for states to make these decisions, because we have checks and balances set up in appeals and processes.
The judges seem terrified of being the ones to decide what’s right, thinking it will open a Pandora’s box of chaos, suddenly allowing political parties to disqualify each others candidates before they even hit the ballot. Which is a silly argument, as they can already do that now if the person doesn’t qualify, so they’re literally only asking the judges to do their fucking jobs.
Okay so you don’t think religion can make evil things good, you coulda just said that.
Was just trying to spark some conversation around the context of the statement, which itself seems silly to me on the surface.
Cause I dunno, I’m an atheist, but I wonder if there’s ever any edge cases of religion helping people, or if you’d all rather just shit over it like we always do.
Id say the biggest problem with this reasoning is that these protests do not save millions of people, and that that number would be easy to reduce, that the only reason that those occur is that nobody fancies doing anything about it.
Yes, you’ve inexplicably stumbled upon the very reason these protests exist in the first place, while simultaneously not getting it AND ALSO setting the bar for success at the protestors themselves accomplishing what governments and oil companies should be doing.
And all because what?
It inconveniences you slightly while our planet and people go off the rails. Nicely done, this is precisely the type of thing we are fighting against just to get some damn renewables going faster.
Happy for everyone else but I just got mine like a year ago! Fuckity fuck fuck!
