in news of how self driving AI will solve traffic congestion, 10 automated cars in san francisco all froze at a busy 4 way intersection last night because of a nearby concert overloading the local cellular system. this happened a day after california decided to allow these fucking companies to run their services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

    I thought it was bad that video games required an internet connection, but a car?? I get why it would be useful for a taxi kind of thing, but at least just have it complete the current route before freezing like that. Is all the computing done on a remote server? If so, that’s even worse.

      Funny thing is that’s when I stopped gaming. When the Xbox came out and everyone was hopping on the internet, I was like no thanks - I prefer “retro” gaming now where we’re all in one room together drinking beer and laughing while having a good time.
