Towards Safe and Comfortable Vehicle Control Transitions: A Systematic Review of Takeover Time, Time Budget, and Takeover Performance
Conditionally automated driving systems require human drivers to disengage from non-driving-related activities and resume vehicle control within limited time budgets when encountering scenarios beyond system capabilities. Ensuring safe and comfortable transitions is critical for reducing driving risks and improving user experience. However, takeovers involve complex human-vehicle interactions, resulting in substantial variability in drivers' responses, especially in takeover time, defined as th…

If you believed techbros any time in the last quarter century, we’d be ferried around in self-driving cars that never need to be recharged on a Mars colony right now, while occasionally popping a pill to stay 25 forever and getting a foot massage (or other things) from a robot.
Why do people believe the techbros about AI now?

Just made the PR to sign @…'s open letter for a community fork from #Rails, to get away from fascist DHH.
I'm not really using Rails any longer, so I don't know that my voice carries any weight here. But, for 14 years we ran openSNP on Rails, providing the world with an open data/science resource. And the rise of the far-right authoritarianism played a big role in the decision to shut it down (see #ruby

Multidimensional Assessment of Takeover Performance in Conditionally Automated Driving
When automated driving systems encounter complex situations beyond their operational capabilities, they issue takeover requests, prompting drivers to resume vehicle control and return to the driving loop as a critical safety backup. However, this control transition places significant demands on drivers, requiring them to promptly respond to takeover requests while executing high-quality interventions. To ensure safe and comfortable control transitions, it is essential to develop a deep understa…

Techbros really want you to believe that this is sentience

The thing about "woke" is, the techbros don't use it to refer to political views.
They use it as a derogatory slur to refer to people who endeavor to be kind.
Imagine the horrors of someone being kind.
