I bought a car with a reversing camera, since then I haven't looked back.
Brexit, for once some facts.
- Thread starter flecc
- Start date
You know what they'd say to that. Nobody should be allowed to cycle until they'd driven a car for a year! Trouble is they outnumber cyclists to such a huge extent in this country, they'd probably get their own way.
.
And within motor vehicles there is a pecking order .. when I had an Audi A6 , mere BMWs would move aside!!!. The Opels ( Vauxhall s to you) would genuflect. Perhaps going down motorways the wrong way made the difference?.
My first car at 18 years old was a Vauxhall DX Light 6. Born the same year as me, these had the infamous curtsey under braking which caused amusement for pedestrians at crossings:
VAUXHALL LIGHT SIX DY/DX (1935-36)
Saloon, fixed-head coupé, drophead coupé, 4-door cabriolet, numerous specials. Big Six styling with engine set forward in a redesigned X-frame, plus Dubonnet coil ifs for a boulevard ride and the infamous curtsey under heavy braking. Mechanical brakes, wire wheels, underslung rear springs...

What the strategy is is simply to work with partners as happens now and offer perks like this to attract business
". We will also launch a review of options to consider a lower limit of operator liability for in-orbit operations and alternative insurance models to support the needs of small satellite operators.
Nothing whatever in the so called strategy equates to our efforts amounting to a dynamic "British" enterprise
Here is the link
National Space strategy
Just another dangerous con trick, and being owned by the USA in the form on Nasa
But we have achieved a highly contagious "Natural Stupidity" running the country and popular with the voters, that is living proof that this area's population has passed peak evolution.
I did as I promised yesterday, today taking the alternative 5 mile route with no fuel stations to my customary supermarket.
I've never before seen it so empty of traffic, a double pleasure in my e-car.
I hate to think what the other route was like with its three fuel stations and all the traffic absent from my route!

Is this about the spectacularly expensive "British GPS" project, now that we're excluded from EU GPS development and deployment?
We're not getting back with Galileo, UK govt tells The Reg, as question marks sprout above its BS*
*Brexit Satellite. What did you think we meant? GPS continues to rule the roost in Blighty for now

You're right, what's sold as "AI" to VCs isn't, but existing systems are sufficient to model various adversarial simulations internally, and implement solutions based on those outcomes - there would be a "User apallment" parameter which would be adjusted periodically, as everyone in the world monitors decisions and vote in real time, leading to adjustments of a whole plethora of other parameters. What's "Apalling" now, would change.
I doubt we would be able to cope with this, due to such software being unable to anticipate the vagaries of human attitudes. The corrections would be forever firefighting after widespread offence was caused. As we know from current hysterias, it only needs a few to take offence to whip up a major scale of it.
.
All of the votes could be stored immutibly on a blockchain, to avoid tampering. Quite a lot is already known about "Apalling", through what each and every one of us do and/or say on the internet - it's all logged by social media (even if we don't knowingly use social media), therefore reasonable parameters for avoiding "User Apallment" could be pre-programmed in. It'd make a nice change: "AI" improving the prospects for humanity's future instead of inexorably bringing about it's end - Complete movie, well worth watching:

Blockchain as in Bitcoin blockchain has been hacked though.
Through necessity for a variety of commercial reasons, blockchain design will imrove:
Once hailed as unhackable, blockchains are now getting hacked
More and more security holes are appearing in cryptocurrency and smart contract platforms, and some are fundamental to the way they were built.

our democracy is imperfect. That's the reason to believe future is better than now. If we remove all the faults from the system, that will be the end of us.

If your point is that democracy is imperfect and that it's imperfection is a necessary feature, not a fault: it's perfect, therefore our democracy will be the end of us.
Nothing is perfect forever.
amusing but I reckon, according to wikipedia, your argument suffers a type of fallacy called Modal fallacy – confusing necessity with sufficiency. I still have fond memory of lessons on Aristotle's logic in High School when I was 17.
My experience has been that for any given number of people in a group, tasked with making a collective decision on group action, it's a squared relationship in terms of time to make that decision: 5 people will take about 25 times as long to choose a course of action, than one person making a decision for the whole group. Weirdly, this rough calculation has helped me schedule time rather well. 7.674 billion people on earth will never react in time. We need a better boat. It's beyond human beings. Our brains are not up to the task, it hasn't changed substantially in structure or function since our hunter gatherer days. The future of humanity (on Earth) can be assured, if calculated and organised by computers.

"AI" is making strides many areas of science, finding innovative solutions:

It should be helping in governance - better still, it should replace humans completely in that space.
AI helps scientists discover four new materials
All said to conduct lithium atoms, may be useful for electric car batteries

37 million drivers vs 7.5 million cyclists... therefore we'd strike a deal on a compromise: 1/5th of a year cycling, before they qualify for a driving license.
