Our world changed yesterday. Elon Musk demonstrated an entirely new approach to a self driving car. But, the underlying approach it uses for artificial intelligence is the big story.
The method doesn’t use computer code. They took millions of hours of driving video from Tesla cars and put it into a massive AI computer. The computer analyzed the data and learned to drive, matching what it saw on video.
The central computer then trains the computer in each car how to drive. Each car essentially has a brain that simulates the way our brain knows how to drive.
Beyond cars, this method can be used to train a machine how to do any task that can be recorded on video. Tesla already has robots that it is training to work in factories. The progress on these robots should now happen rapidly.
Science fiction has become reality.

I will play along and comment on your discussion.
Billionaire like Elon Musk have made fortunes by monopolizing huge industries through the formation of trusts, engaging in unethical business practices, exploiting workers, and paying little heed to their customers or competition.
In the USA both political parties served the interests of these corporate robber barons, fat cats, capitalist pigs.
The idea that computer controlled autonomous vehicles will ever be as good as any healthy, sane human driver ignores the fact that computer software and hardware are just plagued with quality control issues and full of defects, and these types or issues grow as the systems become more and more complex.
There still millions and billions of people suffering hunger, war and slavery/exploitation in the world, thanks to the greed of few, you can call it whatever you want, it is just greed, envy, hatred, ignorance…
THE UNDENIABLE REALITY IS:
“It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few.”
Wealth inequality in the world, also known as the wealth gap, is the unequal distribution of assets among residents of the world.
When can we start talking about the fact that exorbitant profits are merely unpaid fair wages?
An ideal distribution of the world’s wealth is one that assures that no individual human being is entirely without the means of housing and sustenance.
Most of our past and current “Economic Systems” Kingdoms, Feudalism, Capitalism etc etc create Poverty, Greed, Violence, Disease, and Environmental Destruction
