July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
The Sunday News! This week, a self-driving car was involved in an accident in Arizona. What are your thoughts on autonomous vehicles? Cool new tech of the future? Too many unknowns and variables to be considered safe? Or do you fall somewhere in the middle? Tell us what you think. If there was an Uber self-driving car available to take me to town once in awhile or just to McDonald's I'd say Yay! There are too many unknowns and variables to make a decision presently about their worth. The video said the cars don't have to be registered in the states they are being tested in and the states are not notified about test results. This particular accident doesn't say if the car was being guided by the person sitting behind the wheel or if it crashed on its own. Normal cars driving down a road in a safe manner don't crash. Drivers doing strange things crash cars. Watch Emergency or Chips on METV. Another thought, was the accident deliberate since someone came out of a side street and hit the autonomous car? They are very small so my guess is they won't be around here in winter weather. The accident was not blamed on the car. It was a driver who did not yield properly at a cross street. For years they have been putting out movies and stories about robotics in airplanes, space flights, or other tech guided plots. The human driver takes control and brings the baby home. The human driver is always the hero. If they send me one for free I'll test it for them with everyday use?  If they can make it here, they are probably on their way to world domination.![Merit Badge in New Horizons Academy
