But a Sheriff's Office spokesperson told Houston Public Media that the suspected shooters were actually not on that property during the incident.

The gunshots didn't come from the gun range at all.

causing a commotion

A Roomba doesn't weigh 2 tons and isn't traveling at 100kph and actively threatening the lives of nearby people.

A moving vehicle is a safety hazard to everything around it first and foremost, and the driving system must be able to account for that. Figuring out how to get from point A to point B comes after, and is very simple by comparison.

At most you might want to use some machine learning to improve efficiency

Yeah no, efficiency and planning map routes aren't the hard parts of self-driving. The hard parts come from dealing with all of the unpredictable situations that happen on the road - flat tire on a busy highway, deer in the headlights, power steering failure while crossing a major intersection, aggressive drivers, poor visibility due to weather conditions, a child running into the road... you can't pre-program for situations like these because they're contextual, dependent on local conditions in that exact moment. All of the choices that might be made are different depending on whether there is another car in the lane next to you, or in front of or behind you, or oncoming, or if it's a bus or a dump truck or a motorcycle or a bicycle, or a ditch or a forest or the edge of a cliff, or if there's rain or fog or ice or smoke or debris or burning gasoline on the road... and the choice needs to be made right now, in less than a second, or you run over a 4 year old.

The real world is far too complex for a fixed set of predetermined rules to handle.

The US Navy has a very high risk of losing facilities to sea level rise. They have been making contingency plans for coastal bases for decades.

By reading this comment you are now cursed:

One week after you choose to dispose of any of those cables, you will need one of them.

Seems like a potentially interesting commuter vehicle...

When it finally hits the road, ownership won’t be an option either, as the Vigoz will only be offered on subscription

...never mind.
