  • Absolutely not. All of that is false. Autonomous cars in the US have not shown to have a lower accident rate compared to human drivers. This whole idea of increasing speed limits will also greatly increase the fatality rate of pedestrians and bicyclists.

    As was already mentioned in the thread, autonomous cars are trained on American drivers. American drivers are so bad that they’re not allowed to drive in Europe if they’re not a tourist. Here in Sweden, the traffic fatality rate rate is 20 a year per 1 million people, and dropping. The current fatality rate in the us is 129 deaths a year per 1 million people and rising. 43000 dead a year. 0.1% of the US dies off every decade to their own shitty driving. Letting AIs trained by Americans drive cars in Europe will be a bloodbath.

    American roads are developing-country bad. I was in DC last month and saw a dozen people with children in the car, texting while driving. I emigrated out of that country and got a real driver’s license here in Sweden. Keep American car culture out of Europe.

    Every European country already has proven autonomous electric vehicles called trains, we don’t need Tesla and Google trying to sell us their shitty US version.





  • Yeah full VMs are pretty old school, there are a lot more management options and automation available with containers. Not to mention the compute overhead.

    Red Hat doesn’t even recommend businesses to use VMs anymore, and they offer a virtualization tool that runs the VMs inside a container for legacy apps. Its called Openshift Virtualization.
