    Wonder how many people are gonna directly die from these autonomous cars. Guessing by how shit AI is, more than pure human drivers.

    They’re burying the lead here. The real story isn’t adaptive cruise control plus lanekeeping. The real story is they want Google Gemini in their cars, so you’ll be able to turn on your headlights by simply pressing the Gemini button, speaking your command, waiting for your command to be processed in the cloud, and the car will then be issued the command to turn on its headlights. Or, maybe, make you a sandwich.

    Way easier than turning a switch. /s

    There will be an anus shaped hole that you have to stick and keep your finger in to prove you have a pulse to the AI while it drives you.
