VW emissions cheating and driverless cars

by Simon in

when i first heard about this it sounded like they just had a mode that was optimizing the vehicle's emission levels which sounded good.. turns out, they were detecting when a car was being tested to cheat the control system.. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-34311819.

their shares are down 19% - but larger than the financial fallout is the trust.

this is the worlds largest car manufacturer!.

From a big picture point of view there is a need to link the various technologies involved in driverless vehicle systems whether they be drones or air planes or cars into some kind of a format that will be easily understood and easier for everyone to use. Just think computer operating systems before the introduction of windows. It made Bill Gates, et al rich.

The computer hardware was already established before the windows operating system came into being and its the same right now for driverless vehicle technology. We just need a new windows operating system. Just like computer operating systems and the communication systems they utilize the operating system for driverless vehicles will increasingly develop faster and become more streamlined. I am sure there are a lot of people working on this right now.

The whole driverless vehicle scenario will be in a way reminiscent of the old stage coach days and horse drawn delivery vehicles. A lot of places had horses and mules making decisions about milk and egg delivery routes to people in cities. Or the town drunk scenario hopping on his old horse drawn wagon to go home and sleep it off after he'd had too many. Driverless vehicles have many safety advantages for sure.

I just like Morpheus like to drive and be in control but the nanny state may one day take these old things we now take for granted away. It's funny when you think about how technology causes things where humans are concerned to come full circle. We were once reliant on a partnership with the judgement of horses and their owners for our transportation needs then we broke free for a while and relied on own judgement with the operation of vehicular machines. Now it appears we are going to give machines and software the say in guiding our movements for a while.

Simon:But we're supposed to trust them when it comes to driverless cars?

Driverless cars are the way of the future and they are coming faster than most people think and are soon to be more ubiquitous than anyone can imagine.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/11879182/First-driverless-pods-to-travel-public-roads-arrive-in-the-Netherlands.html

The biggest hold up lies with the legal ramifications that are likely to occur. For example if your driverless car gets nabbed for speeding or is involved in a collision who is at fault? Not the driver or the car manufacturer maybe the software firm that developed the on-board navigation system. There are also privacy concerns with data logging of where you've been and the list goes on. The lawyers are going to have a field day with this.

Vehicles are getting too expensive especially in places like china and in many more developed jurisdictions labour to produce them is getting too expensive. Thats why the Asia Trans-Pacific Trade deal is such a big deal right now.

In places like Canada its going to be a bit more difficult to fully develop the driverless automobile market because of our Northern Latitude. Imagine being in a driverless car in a prairie snow storm. LOL.

I can envision a day in the not too distant future when hardly anyone will still own their vehicle. It will be much easier and cheaper to subscribe to a driverless taxi service.

The Road To Paradise Is Paved In Stupidity

by freemindfade in

at the special assembly day (sad) imitate the desert god.. here is a word for word quote from the co during the baptism talk .

"an intellectual approach to the truth will not lead to everlasting life"....

truthseeker100

Secret Slave Class: Since we are encouraged to imitate him we'd better all start behaving like assholes. God must have been proud that Adolf Hitler had these same qualities

Yes but poor old Adolf didn't have a second death or a lake of fire to deal with his mentally diseased. He being just a mortal had to contend with extermination camps and ovens.

At least god has the loving provision to use his spirit directed organization and people to clean the human mentally diseased debris.

Need Help with Blood Transfusion Illustration

by Dissonant15 in

please, who can provide an intelligent rebuttal to the following illustration?

i always thought it was bullet-proof:.

"if your doctor directs you to 'abstain from alcohol' would you be ok to have it injected into your veins rather than drink it?

truthseeker100

Works the same way with other things too Marvin. Insulin for example taken by needle it reduces blood glucose levels swallowed or otherwise taken internally does nothing.

Updated online Insight book still using offensive term 'Mentally diseased'

by defender of truth in

they have made changes/updates, such as to the 'genereation' teaching, as mentioned on another thread.. and yet this mistranslated verse still remains, allowing the offensive and hateful application of it to continue.

take a look at these quotes from the online insight book..(watchtower quotes are included as well, handy if you don't already know how they apply this term).. bible words indexed (4 occurrences).

mentally diseased, 1ti 6:4.. .

Sigh! Does anyone remember the scene from the movie The big Red One. In the midst of the carnage to come it will probably be the last thought that goes through my mentally diseased mind.I'l lay down my figurative soup spoon of knowledge, pick up the sword of the spirit and associated spiritual food and ammo and say "I am sane! I am one of you. I am sane! I am sane....and maybe with a moment of clarity and a last minute re-conversion continue on helping with the killing spree.

What's the opposite of mentally diseased ? Mentally healthy?

It's so nice to know that all the loyal followers of the governing body are the opposite of mentally diseased and are therefore mentally healthy. It must be the fear of their loving creator that makes them this way.

We all know that some were fornicators, idolaters, thieves, murderers, child molesters and the like before they came into the truth and some still are from time to time when they slip backwards. Now though they are all mentally healthy and I am one of the diseased ones who never was a thief or murderer or the like.

Sigh! I guess it must be the diseased state of my mind that doesn't allow me to comprehend why? It's too bad the mentally healthy are forbidden by the governing body to associate or even pray for me. If I had not chosen science to trust instead of gods representatives here on earth maybe I could pray too, to somebody for help in restoration of my diseased faculties.

Sigh! I'll just take my place with the other mentally diseased members of humanity who are about to be annihilated by your loving god. After all what has science ever contributed to humanity? If I wasn't mentally diseased I would be unhappy but sadly I'm not!

Sigh! Ignorance is bliss if I could only get me some?

STAY ALIVE 'TIL 2132! -- Generation (X′+X″) <= (1914+λ[A′]-α[A′]+λ[A″]-α[A″]-x) <= 2132

by Gilgamesh in

generation x+x=generation why?

already bringing "great tribulation" on watchtower readers.

the watch tower society has got some splane-ing to do.

truthseeker100

Evidently we are on to something Prologos

formula: 2 times publisher time since 1914 plus 1914 equals A. bang.

with that clarification it should be understandable by all. Thanks for clearing that up.

I think prologos is off a bit in his calculation. Since there was no year zero we have to subtract 1 from 1914=1913

why not subtract zero? Because zero plus one = 1

1913 is the 293 prime number and the 125 th prime between 1001 and 2000.

All prophesies are prime so wouldn't it be appropriate for the prime fulfillment of Jehovah's prophesy to come to pass after 2000 but not before 125 years have passed thus indicating we are indeed very well along in the last days and conclusion of this system of things. So simple its almost stupid!

In next week's study we will examine what a week and a year really indicate in terms of prime fulfillment of prophesy.
