Guy Martin v The Robot Car

[Richard A Thackeray]

Did anyone else watch this on Sunday evening??

Interesting indeed

Without going into the ethics of it, as Guy was shown pondering, the technology was thought provoking

PLus;
- did anyone else notice the 'Skull & Spanners' tile inset, into the barn roof?
- the Nigel stained glass


As for that Volvo 'Amazon', it's still amazing!!!
One of the GPs, at my Surgery, has that model, the Ludicrous, as a setting, & the Warp-Drive icon was humourous on the Tesla

It made easy viewing. I always enjoy his programs.

we watched it , but need to watch it again whilst awake

I watched a bit of it, but was interrupted. I always enjoy Guy Martin, and I found the technology and level of attempted AI to be far beyond what I thought was doable. That said, it's worrying to think that a driverless car with a dedicated team of engineers can still spin out, but I guess that's what R&D is for.

His answer surprised me but his real-life ethics haven't stopped him from accumulating 21 points on his driving licence and avoiding disqualification three times.
He's an entertaining and funny guy but he can't seem to tell the difference between a public road and a race track.

Unable to read track conditions, automated vehicle that had the circuit locked into it.

He does race on public roads.

Well he did, till he kept nearly killing himself.

Nope, but I agreed with him, that the person in the vehicle should be the one to be wiped out, not the unsuspecting people/animals/whatever that happen to be unlucky enough to be chosen as a possible victim.

I started watching it, but my limited tolerance for Guy Martin repeating every word he says 4 times was tested beyond its limit, and I turned it off after about 20 minutes.

Yes, and with Dooley's slow drawl, it does have to be a v good program to be able to get to the end.

I suspect it was http://moralmachine.mit.edu/ which is fairly famous.

Yes. Is it visible on satellite pics yet?
