A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I just can't see how Tesla self-driving taxis will be safe for unsupervised use any time soon.

School busses, at least in my region (and it appears in the image this is true as well), have flashing red lights at the top to indicate that traffic must stop. The stop sign also comes out, but it's the flashing red lights that should be a dead giveaway to anybody driving.

In my region, they also have flashing yellow lights before they stop, indicating that traffic should slow down and prepare to stop.

Edit: and I should add that the expectation is that traffic stops in all lanes, both directions. Being in a different lane or off to the side makes no difference.
