California officials have upset Google with proposed rules for public use of driverless cars. The rules would mean a licensed driver would have to be in the car whenever it was used.
The state was among the earliest to allow testing of autonomous vehicles on public roads, albeit with some tight regulations such as a driver always having the ability to take control in an emergency.
Now California’s Department of Motor Vehicles has developed draft regulations for if and when autonomous vehicles are opened up for general use. Three of the key points in the new rules should be relatively uncontentious:
Manufacturers must certify that they comply with safety rules and undergo independent testing of vehicles.
The initial permit for manufacturing such vehicles will run for only three years, in effect creating a trial period for the new rules. Because of this restriction, manufacturers will have to lease rather than sell the vehicles.
Manufacturers will have to tell users what data the car collects. There’ll also need to be a capacity for the car to detect and if necessary combat any cyberattack, warn the driver, and allow a manual override.
It’s the fourth point that’s upset Google. For the initial trial period at least, there’ll always have to be a licensed driver in the car, sat at the wheel. That excludes either “fully autonomous” vehicles, or cars used solely by people without a license.
While there’s clearly a logic to that, particularly during the trial period, Google says requiring a licensed driver would not only put unnecessary limits on the technology’s possibility, but would exclude people who “need a fully self-driving car today” such as those with health issues and disabilities.
Last week, on the same day that “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” came out, I received the First Order Stormtrooper helmet that I pre-ordered back in late September. Behold, this helmet is truly a thing of beauty (for a Star Wars fan!)
The helmet was designed using the digital files that were used to create the official helmets in Episode VII, and as you can see above, it looks exactly like the ones used in the movie. It’s important to note that compared to the oldschool stormtrooper helmets used in the original trilogy, this one is super comfortable, and visibility is also a lot better. I’m sure anyone who has tried an old stormtrooper bucket will agree with me on this: those things will make a grown man or woman cry after a few hours of use.
I’ve also been asked by a few people for pictures of the inside of the helmet, so here you go:
The next helmet I’d like to get is this Kylo Ren helmet (from Anovos as well,) but unfortunately, at $699.95, it’s way too pricey for me.
As a conclusion, I’d say that if you’re a fan and really want a First Order Stormtrooper Helmet, go for it, and as all the products I’ve seen from Anovos, this one is of top notch quality.
