Dear God, I am so sick of hearing how straight white men are the root of all evil. Apparently we're not even allowed to cook ethnic food now, because it's somehow demeaning for us to take inspiration from other cultures. Screw that, I'm going to make whatever I find tasty, and I will use any ingredients and methods I please, and if I make something inspired by something from any culture in the world I will not apologize for then making it my way. Just making food different does not mean I'm claiming the original is flawed or somehow barbaric. Why the hell would I think that? Velveeta, margarine and wonder bread, those are barbaric.

And we don't have enough control towers to manage the load of air travel that we already have.

Jul 17, 2013#136

strawman

Air travel won't happen before full vehicle automation anyway. At that point flying vehicles will be fully automated and will require very little human oversight.

Flying, however, is so resource intensive that it's not entirely practical for short trips, and 95% of all travel is short distance travel anyway.

Further, the internet and advanced communications has reduced the need for many types of travel.

I suspect when we get HD audio on all our cell phones, and eventually HD video calling becomes as cheap as audio calling, then it will go down even more. Inflection and body language is still a significant part of our communication, but still requires physical presence to convey the full message, necessitating travel in situations where it wouldn't otherwise be needed.

Indeed. The whole "take it out and put it on the table" thing loses all meaning when you have to tell someone that you're doing it over the phone. Not nearly as intimidating.

Air travel won't happen before full vehicle automation anyway. At that point flying vehicles will be fully automated and will require very little human oversight.

Flying, however, is so resource intensive that it's not entirely practical for short trips, and 95% of all travel is short distance travel anyway.

Further, the internet and advanced communications has reduced the need for many types of travel.

Full vehicle automation could conceivably happen now. As far as problems go, it's not that hard. At University of Louisiana (where I taught) they had a fully automated Jeep Wrangler that regularly drove around town. I think the biggest hurdle to vehicle automation will be getting people--especially Americans--to give up control.

Not the drivers, the government. I'm saying automated flying cars, which no doubt use wireless networking to communicate with/avoid other cars, would be ready-made tools of political assassination. "His flying car malfunctioned at 500 feet, nicked a building, plummeted to its doom. Horrible accident."

As I've often said, I think Tatsuya got a man-hating girlfriend (or has his eyes on one) and has been trying to impress her by taking his comic in a complete 180 and ruining 90% of it in the process.

The irony is, Slick has always been Tatsuya's Mary Sue... and watching his flailing "I'm your ally!" antics... he still is.

When you see someone use their turn signal, you make decisions based on that information, but you don't bet your car or your life on it - you give yourself enough leeway so that if the information is wrong you do not get into an accident.

Yes, automated cars will share information, but they will treat all incoming information as suspect until or unless the information is certified.

Cars will be autonomous in the same way drivers are. They will talk with each other, but they will still drive as though everyone external to them is feeding false information, and treat all incoming information as hints and suggestions rather than actionable policy.

As far as trusting the code in the car you're riding in, it's really little different than trusting that your automotive manufacturer designed the brakes correctly. The modules that control the car will be completely proprietary and encrypted from the manufacturer, and any change in code will be detectable via encryption signature - the car won't run if the code is altered.

Besides which, we've already passed the point of no return. The high end cars that auto park themselves also have braking control, steering control, and the throttle is electronic. The computer can control all three variables (throttle, steering, braking).

Further, they receive wireless data from both the keyfobs and the tire pressure/temperature sensors. This data goes right onto the vehicle data bus.

So, in theory, if they have errors in their code, or exploitable weaknesses, then what you're worried about is within the realm of possibility now. No need to wait for a fully automated car.

Yes, I know, and Onstar can kill your engine whenever they want, too.

But at least those problems aren't exploitable on an object hurtling hundreds of feet in the air. If your automated parking module acts up, worst you get is a ding. A flying car accident would be much more reliably fatal.

And we're learning all the time how every electronic device we own, be it cars, phones, whatever, are all getting remotely accessible backdoors put in them. In a flying car, it becomes very worrisome.

And you can bet your ass the NSA, perhaps even vanilla old law enforcement, will want remote override protocols. In the name of keeping us safe, of course. Otherwise, why, anyone could pack a car full of dynamite and have their own budget cruise missile! (this was the same argument for GPS/LORAN autopilot accuracy dithering in regards to small aircraft, like single engine Cessnas)

I don't mean ill will towards them. I hope they have a happy, healthy child. But I don't need to constantly hear about how magical it is that another prince/princess is coming into the world. It's another human being. Being tied to a certain family doesn't make you any better than the next baby being born. I can understand people in Britain being excited a little bit, seeing as it's THEIR monarchy. But here in the U.S., I don't get it.
