This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How the fuck do you figure that's "extremely common"? You need to spend less time on the Internet my dude ..
It's definitely not extremely common.
You guys are talking past one another. It's extremely common at a population level insofar as its happening literally many times per day at the population level. It is not extremely likely at the individual level because the vehicle miles driven per carjacking is massive with most people never getting car jacked.
If an AI car ever has to make a decision on who dies, the answer should always be "whoever agreed to the terms and conditions before they got in the vehicle".
And there it is
Extremely common? Really?
The only thing I'd be curious about with these numbers is car jackings vs the amount of cars/drivers on the road. That would give a percentage and let us know how common it is.
And how many of the carjackings were high-value targets like delivery vans, or in sketchy high-crime parts of the city.
500 carjackings in NYC in a year? Oh the humanity.
There's literally a million cars on the road on any given day just in lower Manhattan.
Get a sense of scale.
10k pedestrians get hit by cars and trucks in NYC every year and you're worried about the health and safety of 500 carjackers (probably fewer, given potential for repeat offenders). What in the actual fuck?
I suppose they're extremely common in comparison to other countries. I've never heard of them happening in mine since the 90s when we actually had violent crime.
We still have car theft, it's just that they get stolen while parked.
Extremely common in absolute terms? Hell nah, there are a lot of unpleasant things more likely to happen to you in the US than carjackings.
Surely you can just take over? You can't expect the car to run people over for you lol
Yeah I misread before I commented, I didn't know robot taxis were a thing, Jesus...
