saw them live last year in Melbourne. Great live band. Haven't listened to Carpe Diem, Moonman, but from the singles they put out in the last few months I already know it's another banger album. Another reincarnation is a bop.

The image displays a progress bar with the title "Signatures collected online" at the top. Below the title, there is a blue horizontal bar that represents the progress, with the text "900,491 / 1,000,000" indicating the current number of signatures collected out of the target. The progress bar is nearly full, showing that a significant portion of the goal has been achieved. At the bottom of the image, there is a clock icon followed by the text "End of the collection period: 17-May-2025," indicating the deadline for collecting signatures. The overall layout is simple and straightforward, with a clean white background and black text, making the information easy to read.

It's not an ethical dilemma. If a HUMAN driver got into a situation where they had to choose between hitting and killing a granny or baby, we'd rightly jail them for many years for reckless/dangerous driving.
A self-driving vehicle should be incapable of operating in a manner equivalent to a reckless human driver.
If a self-driving vehicle is capable of getting into such a situation, the car manufacturer is responsible for a crime of homicide and should be punished.

It's concerning to me that this """ethical dilemma""" comes up so frequently regarding self-driving cars. Does self-driving mean *never slows or stops*? Are self-driving cars all designed after the bus in Speed?
@Charlie Stross to be honest, in that specific situation I'd also jail the planners involved in putting a pedestrian crossing just past a blind curve on a street with a speed limit too high to allow cars to stop before the pedestrian crossing.
@valhalla The "speed limit" you are referring to is, at least in German law, only one of 4 categories of speed limits: general speed limit according to road class, posted speed limit signs, being able to stop within sight range, and adaption of speed to the circumstances.
However I would expect¹ permanent circumstances such as a tight curve or a pedestrian crossing to be properly indicated in advance with signs and, if needed, a lower posted speed limit, and to have to adapt myself to circumstance that are changeable, such as the weather or works (these should come with a lower posted speed limit, tbf) or the road being full of protestors or whatever.
¹ not that I'd *trust* them to always do it. posted speed limits in Italy tend to be chosen by mysterious processes, in many cases
@0xDEADBEEF I think if the CEO were legally liable for the deaths caused by its product, we'd find that the engineering team and software developers would get dramatically different priorities and steers from management.
@ergative @0xDEADBEEF Not just the CEO; the board of directors, jointly and severally. Allow a design flaw to go to market that kills drivers, passengers, OR EXTERNAL BY-STANDERS (this includes via emissions!) and they should risk a jail term.
Rules of the road quite clearly state that you must be able to stop in the length you can see *at any time*. If the car was going faster than sensor distance / breaking time, it was breaking the law. And, fun fact, since it was obviously programmed to do that, it wasn't just breaking the law at the time it crossed the speed threshold, but from the very beginning.
An autonomous car that is even capable of hitting a stationary target is not street legal, by definition.
@henryk agreed when it comes to stationary objects, but I guess the "ethical dilemma" that is endlessly trotted out still applies in the scenario that the granny and the baby both run out from behind obscuring obstacles too late to brake. A common occurance, I'm sure you will agree 😉
@swaldman @henryk Still wrong. If there are any obscuring obstacles, the vehicle should be travelling slowly enough to stop *IF* something runs out from between them.
(It's not just humans entering the road, either: it could be another vehicle, possibly out of control.)
@henryk to an extent I agree, but unlike the "able to stop in the distance you can see to be clear" one, "able to stop if something comes from behind any object" is not a requirement we apply absolutely to human drivers.
I think it's a question of reasonableness vs recklessness. You don't overtake on a blind corner. But you also don't slow to <3mph to avoid potential injury every time you pass a parked van.
@swaldman Reasonableness isn't really relevant. I'm not sure how this is applied if a person breaks the law when crossing, but if there's a cross walk, and you can't see clearly if someone is about to cross, slowing down *is* a reasonable requirement.
In my neighbourhood roads narrow to a single lane at bus stops to force slow driving. I always drive very carefully past the bus sheds because a child can decide to run from one to another and I absolutely want to be able to stop. @cstross @henryk
But at other locations? You wouldn't be able to exceed 5 mph through most of many urban areas! (bear in mind that in the UK it is entirely legal to cross the road anywhere you like. Plus, even if not legal, that doesn't mean a kid won't do it at speed...)
@swaldman My point was also outside of designated crossings. Here's a specific bus stop I had in mind, with no crossing, and 40 km/h speed limit. Driving 40 km/h through here I would call irresponsible, and I never do that: maps.app.goo.gl/5wTZkXj2BXxECs…
But what would you say is a reasonable speed here? Any one of those cars could be hiding a kid about to run out. The vans and SUV could be hiding adults. To be sure of being able to stop for any of them, we're probably limited to a walking pace.
I think most people would think 20-30 kph was "reasonable" here, even though they couldn't guarentee being able to stop for an unexpected sprinter who hasn't looked for traffic.
@swaldman I slow down anywhere where there is a possibility to be children or pets I can't see clearly. Whether it's a parked car, a fence, or a bush. Through my own street I slow down significantly at any such places. The speed limit is 30, but the straight parts are built as a single lane here too to force cars to slow down.
Where the speed limit is higher, there are usually also no obstructions like that close to the road. At least not around here.
I feel like these "dilemmas" are often brought up by self driving proponents as a distraction. These cars routinely cause traffic issues, hit gates and other small obstacles and have numerous other issues doing the basic job, but by framing the discussion like this the conversation starts out assuming a much higher level of sophistication than is really there.
@JessTheUnstill or “can it tell the difference between a person in a wheelchair and car.”
There are lots of really good and challenging ethical questions even when the car is operating legally and safely, most of which also apply to a human operator. It’s irritating that the trolley problem is the only way journalists seem to want to frame it.
If I see a granny and a baby on a footbridge over a motorway, and throw both into the path of a car, I'm glad to hear it's the car driver being jailed and not evil me.
(Of course I wouldn't do that. On the other hand the temptation to drop a heavy stone into the path, oh never mind, I wouldn't do that either)

L'immagine mostra un gruppo di persone in abiti formali, probabilmente in un contesto ufficiale. Al centro, una donna con un abito bianco sorride, accanto a un uomo calvo con un abito scuro e cravatta bordeaux. Accanto a lui, un uomo con capelli scuri e barba grigia indossa un abito nero. Sullo sfondo, si vedono altre persone, alcune con espressioni serie, in un ambiente che sembra essere un luogo di importanza, come un palazzo o un edificio governativo.

Please, could you sign and share a petition to stop #LGBTQ eliminationist "conversion practices" (pseudoscientific nonsense therapies fit only to harm and punish queer kids) within the European Union? It needs urgent action today, and would send a huge message of solidarity!
By the way, since I know there's a lot of Germans on Mastodon:
The need right now on the EU citizen petition against anti-LGBTQ "conversion therapy" ( mastodon.social/@mcc/114512352… ) is raw votes from anywhere. BUT as it happens Germany's currently the closest %-wise to being the 8th country to endorse the petition!
15.5k DE votes would turn Germany green on this map, and send a pro-LGBTQ message to German lawmakers¹:
¹ DE already has a local law banning gay/trans conversion therapy against minors.
yaaaaas. Germany is over the threashold. We don't need it since there already was ≥7 countries over the threshhold, but at least it's on the way to 1M.
EU citizens' initiative to ban conversion practices targeting LGBTQ+ people needs to reach: —minimum thresholds in 7 countries: ✅ —1 million total signatures: ⏳ (currently 875k)
Deadline is tomorrow, Friday 17 May 2025. Sign it, share it, get it over the line: eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public
