Are Argentina looking for a fight? Just seen the news item about the Argentinian athlete training in the streets of Port Stanley and the wording used in the advert.  Just making the athletes a target now  |

Yes as always but not in any real sense. They know they don't have a chance when it comes to actual military action. They are the joke of the world now anyway after nationalising Repsol, so The Falklands have even less to worry about. |

Ah, I think I heard about that. They wanted to piss Spain off too. It really does make athletes unnecessary targets though. I take it the presidentess is not the full schilling?  |

While I'm sure they're safer, you do wonder at what point we become too machine dependent and end up in a matrix style world  |

What worries me about things like this is that computer technology is great when it works, but a complete nuisance when it doesn't. Just wait until one of these cars causes an accident due to a glitch ...

But you have to see it from the fact that an operating system error is less likely to happen than human error. And remember you can override the automated system at any moment.
So if we were all in automated cars, even if glitches happened, there would be far less accidents and deaths on the road.

The problem is that you wouldn't have time to override anything if an accident was about to happen. People generally have 1 or 2 (and that's being generous) seconds to react to a potential accident. |

Why would that be more dangerous than every car being human controlled? |
