No. They just end the ride and send somebody from the local depot to drive the car back to the garage.
Source: I was on Waymo’s Fleet Response team for a year doing literally this job that is now outsourced overseas. While the tech exists for full remote steering, NHTSA regulations disallow it, and that’s one of the few agencies that Google actually has to abide by if they want to drive their cars on public roads.
Even with the recent struck child, Waymos are still light years ahead of human drivers in terms of safety. Honestly, the faster we can replace human drivers, the better. Almost all traffic collisions are caused by human error, remove that and the roads will be the safest they’ve been since horse-drawn carriages first entered the scene.
Keyword searches with an understanding of search syntax was always king.
Isn’t that only because of the limitations of the available technology only being able to handle simple strings, though? Conversational computing has been a pipe dream since early sci-fi, where characters would talk to their computers as if they were human; George Jetson never spoke to Rosie in keyword queries.
I feel like keyword search syntax being “king” is more of a symptom, than an intentional choice.
Weird timing these bugs seem to have, eh?
I don’t think that was ever any secret.
Someone tell the creator of Girls Gone Wild.
I don’t think Joe Francis is going to be the good guy in this scenario.
But what would I fill the jar with?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Stadia was a Squandered Opportunities masterclass. That platform had SO much potential; the tech was there, and the tech worked, but Google hired the worst possible person to run the project.
I mean… now that Grok mentions it, they do look kinda similar…
The final art will still be based on the AI (read: stolen) art.
You’re making assumptions both of the developers’ workflow, and of their AI models.
Because it’s not a big deal, and IGA are technopuritans who can no longer be taken seriously.
anyone could read the code and understand how it works
“Anyone” is doing some heavy lifting here.
How does this stop AI scrapers?
Which is why we have serifs, so you can tell the difference between I and l.
Welcome to Lemmy, where everything is wrongthink.
Search engines haven’t worked reliably for several years now, the top results for almost any search are from social media pages that you can’t even read without an account. The Internet is broken.
I hope he’s doing well. Thanks to the code he started, I’m on the Fediverse in the first place.
DEI isn’t intended to be “colorblind”, it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn’t, however, imply hiring quotas; there is no such thing as “a DEI hire”.
Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same
While Affirmative Action is often seen as a legal and policy-driven approach, DEI is more about cultural transformation and ongoing efforts to create a supportive and inclusive workplace. Both are crucial for building a fair and equitable society, but they operate on different levels and address different aspects of inequality. DEI initiatives, though can impact hiring, focus on the workplace and people in it. The intent is to embrace the collective, minimize bias and treat others in a respectful and understanding manner.
Rocks are woke now.
This used to be my job. They’re not controlling the cars. They’re basically completing real-time CAPTCHAs, telling the car whether the cameras see a stop sign, a bicycle, temporary barriers, etc. If the car can’t identify an object that could possibly cross its path, it pulls over and stops until an operator can do a sanity-check on whatever the car’s confused by. They only need to be able to identify objects on the road, not know the rules of the road.
