            I haven't read into this at all, what has specifically been released?

              Loads and loads of stolen data from users taken primarily through social engineering, not only of FB users, but millions of records taken that were generated by FB users about other people. So not only FB users affected, but even non-FB users!

                    But the article also uses bad math. 2-3 million driven miles is not enough to make up this type of comparable statistic.

                            It's because the BBC app is broken and it won't give links on the phone. It used to and I did, then they made it so that when you share from the iPhone app it will only give me the headline, not the link. So I had to take screen shots to be able to share it when I'm not at my desk.

                              Aww how nice that we're able to pay these clowns to play in the snow. . .

                              Look at it this way, it's better than what they're normally doing to us. They should go play in the snow more often!

                                That's a pretty big deal. LIDAR and Radar sensors should have picked the pedestrian up a significant distance prior to when we see it on camera. I'm not convinced other self driving car tech would have had the same issue. This seems like maybe Uber is trying to go "cheap" on the sensors and was really just looking for the threshold to meet for it to be "good enough". She crossed 1.5 lanes of traffic.

                                Of course I don't think a human driver would have been able to stop either, granted there may be gradients of dark a human could pick out that a camera couldn't but still...

                                        They have to be able to do it quickly, bridge building (and blowing up) are huge war time activities. A military's ability to take out enemy bridges and make their own have traditionally been some of the most powerful military activities.
