I wouldn't trust an autonomous vehicle at all unless it wasn't networked; in fact I've made sure that my car isn't networked at all due to the fact that autonomous or not they can be hacked by cutting power to everything except power steering, the radio, and the car outlets. Networking and control of the car being linked is asking for trouble, not to mention that somehow they fucked up the non-autonomous cars so that it's possible to hack those and drive them with a laptop too.
Having driven very new cars, rentals mostly, there are few compelling features that I can't just add to an older, not smart car.
And that is exactly what I plan on doing for some time yet. Frankly, the bright nav screens, menus and other gunk prove quite distracting. I really hate most of them. A few can be dimmed, or turned off, but none seem to remember that state, always eager to display some warning or other.
Seems to me, if it always needs a warning, I really don't need it in the car.
I feel we are way over hype on self-driving vehicles. The tech is advancing nicely enough, but the problem scope still seems very large relative to what we've solved for.
I disagree. Anything a corporation does they do because it directly benefits them, in this case they get more people moving close to their HQ and it's good publicity. In the case of their Linux support it's death by a thousand paper cuts. Pretty simple.

I don't understand why people want corporations to behave like non-profits. It's a corporation whose sole aim is make profit. But that doesn't mean they can't do something for goodwill that actually benefits the community.

What does this have anything to do with them doing something good for the community?

Because people act like they're altruistic and nice when the reality is that they're not. I'm not gonna suck your dick because you pulled a PR stunt, I don't swing that way.

On the surface level more support for linux is good thing, but like all corporate-developed software it eventually becomes bloated and unstable and dies a slow death.
That's obvious to anyone with any sort of basic idea as to how machine learning works. Feed bots data and test the bots predictions - the more data you have then obviously it'll be better. If you have 1 picture of a bee to test you'd only ever get one very specific shape for a bee from any AI, if you have thousands, you get a much better representation. It's pretty simple.
I haven't had it for years already, deleted it a few years ago, and to be truthful I think it's been long enough they legit don't have much data on me anymore.
