"How to make self driving race car?"
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I think I've seen that one, I think it was it titled "How To Break Out Of While Loop? URGENT!"
It went unanswered except for some comments saying they wouldn't do his homework and links to Google.

Until they reach maturity its more like a demolition derby.

My recently-purchased, nearly-new Skoda includes "lane assist", which gives steering guidance above 40mph, designed to stop you inadvertently wandering across lanes on the motorway. It's clever and it works fine under normal motorway conditions, and certainly encourages better use of indicators (there's no feedback if you've indicated you're changing lanes).
Today was the first time I've driven on the motorway after heavy rain. As the clouds parted and the sun dried out the carriageway, the dry parts were noticeably paler than the damp patches. Several times, landscape (hedges, fences etc) meant the "dry" line wasn't parallel with the lanes; the lane assist camera interpreted the colour change as a lane marking, and delivered a steering input that actively drifted me out of my lane into the next. Of course I noticed what was happening and overrode the input (you just exert more pressure in the opposite direction). But it really concerned me that my car would "choose" to effectively make an unannounced lane change simply because of a damp road.
This is in a mass-production vehicle and I guess other makes / models with lane assist would behave similarly. If it had been "self driving" rather than just the gentle "nudge" of lane assist, there'd have been an accident. I worry that it's rather too soon to contemplate fully autonomous vehicles on public roads.

It definitely is, and that is why you, as a driver still, have to "assist the lane assist".
It will get at least another 10 years until AD is usable in full mode, and it will be complicated as long as manual and AD are coexisting on the road since humans are much more unpredictable than software.
For the moment - and I am working in the industry - we are on level 2,5 on the AD scale[^] - 2,5 has even settled in our jargon - and will be stuck there for a consequent amount of time.

Well that's because REAL race cars only turn left.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Yes, even in the Netherlands gangs of children are demanding their share of sweets now.
In my sleepy home town a suspicious looking guy rang the doorbell and handed over a bag of sweets.
Gives this to the children when they come at 7:30 PM he whispered and then vanished in the dark.
After a long wait finally a gang of little monsters appeared half an hour too late, didn't want to sing a song, grabbed the sweets from my hands and left me standing baffled in the doorway.

One of the benefits of having a solid front fence with electric gates 
OTOH we were walking the dogs when said band of monsters wandered our street, they refused the dog treats I offered.

Are you sure they were actually sweets, and you haven't just been turned into a drugs mule?

I've bought into their advertising, but I'm lost in a couple of areas.

You have to pay to be advertised to?
I'll give that a miss!

Griff, griff 
What I mean is that when they rolled out their product, they were all about droplets costing $5 month (making it very affordable to spin up test machines and websites). I have a product I need to migrate to a modern architecture, and every time I try to do something on DO, I leave $5/month behind at a high rate of speed....

RIP Sean Connery,
I'm shaken, but not stirred.
The James Bond of them all.
Let's not forget his penultimate role as Zed in Zardoz.
I'd rather be phishing!

I saw this, this morning. Sad. 90 years old.
RIP James.

I thought I would be the only one who remembered Zardoz, I'm bloody sure SC would be happy to forget it.
