Welcome To The Future Grandma!

A self-driving Tesla gave a granny the thrill of a lifetime when she got behind the wheel.

Cop Pulls Over Robot Car

In the Northern California city of Mountain View a police trooper pulled over a driverless Google car because it was travelling too slowly and jamming up traffic.

Yamaha Robot Racer

Yamaha this week released a teaser video of a new project called Motobot. Motobot is a robot in the early stages of learning how to ride a bike. According to Yamaha, there is nothing nefarious in nature
about this project, as the true motive behind the scenes is improving the human biker experience. The team here at Futureslaver agrees. Why would the number one motorcycle manufacturer in the number one robot manufacturing country want to create an autonomous motorcycle riding killer robot? It's just like the philosophical question Captain Kirk posed in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, "What does a killer robot need with a motorcycle?"

One Potential Downside Of Killer Cars

Eventually what a self-driving car's A.I. will compute in the event of an accident with nearby bystanders is whether to maneuver to keep the driver safe or maneuver to keep bystanders safe. So, the A.I. will crunch the numbers once it realizes an accident is unavoidable. The on-board computer will act on the data and choose to maneuver in accordance with the least potential number of people injured or killed. It's an ethical scenario known as the trolley problem. Read more details -- here -- . It is a little disconcerting knowing that your car would put you, the driver, at risk after it determines your injury is the least damaging in an accident involving multiple people.

Autopilot Really Autonomous Sports Car Attack

Elon Musk is well known in the future tech community as the right-hand man of Ray Kurzweil (Kurzweil is the leader of the robot Armageddon). While Mr. Kurzweil is busy building the brain of advanced A.I., Mr. Musk is busy at work building the robotic death vehicles which will carry out land-based autonomous attacks originating in the well-to-do gated communities across the United States.
