…from Spotify going bankrupt, they definitely would stop getting money from Spotify, though, which is clearly what we’re talking about.

Yeah they would cease to exist.

And then nobody gets anything, not even the guys just running a white noise playlist, and making money off of it.

This entire article is about them discovering issues during simulations and then fixing them before deploying to the streets.

So if your attempt is genuinely to question their intentions then it should be very obvious what those intentions are.

The only person being hyperbolic is you acting like a shill for this company

Stating facts from the article and being reasonable is hyperbole?

Even before GM, Cruise has been using their vehicles on public roads since 2020. How many kids has it killed since then?

The answer is precisely zero.

Over that same period human drivers killed about 528 pedestrian children.

Now “foul!” You may cry, as the data is for national averages versus isolated incidents, to which I would both agree and point out that Cruise has been operating in 13 major metropolitan cities now.

“Well that’s all fine and dandy, money_loo, but just you wait until the day they hit and kill a kid!”

Which just brings us back to the entire point of the article, how they are doing everything they can to insure that, y’know, their cars never hit any kids…

Did you even read the article?

We’ve just got another extremely misleading technology hating title here.

In its statement, Cruise said, “It is inaccurate to say that our AVs were not detecting or exercising appropriate caution around pedestrian children” — a claim undermined by internal Cruise materials reviewed by The Intercept and the company’s statement itself. In its response to The Intercept’s request for comment, Cruise went on to concede that, this past summer during simulation testing, it discovered that its vehicles sometimes temporarily lost track of children on the side of the road. The statement said the problem was fixed and only encountered during testing, not on public streets

So they found out during internal testing that children were sometimes being identified as adults. That’s it. It wasn’t missing kids entirely, and it never endangered a single one. They recognized a problem during testing and fixed it, meanwhile in the three months of testing to bug fix it, about 25 kids under 14 were killed by human drivers.

But whatever, just more fear mongering and hyperbole from Lemmy!
