This. And every external component that goes in production must be vetted, and it also has to be included in the software tree - no automatic updates with every build.
Then I am now working in the same field as The Codewitch so it's not as I'll ever have the issue of over-abundance of GitHub resources. I already have to bribe, cajole, coerce and beat out the vendors for their own sample codes.

If you use unfettered code, you take a risk. It's not an attack; it is abusing stupidity and they have my full support.

We surveyed more than 2,000 developers about whether GitHub Copilot helped them be more productive and improved their coding. Then, we matched this qualitative feedback and subjective perception with quantitative data around objective usage measurements and productivity.

Also it may or may not be illegal, since it's a discrimination based on provenience. I'm not particularly knowledegable of the US laws and Consitution though. In my country it's becoming a Sword of Damocles, since it would be very much illegal straight up to the first articles of the Constitution.

Reported on before, but this gives more details:
Quote: The safety agency found that there were 16 crashes involving a Tesla striking first responder and road maintenance vehicles. Many of these incidents had some form of intervention from the forward collision warning and/or automatic emergency braking systems, but on average, Autopilot aborted vehicle control less than 1 second prior to impact. Of those crashes, NHTSA found that driver attention warnings were issued in just two cases.

What I don't get is this notion that just because is electric doesn't just automatically mean AFAIK, that you have to, or now get to, do autopilot. Why don't we have this in high end ice cars like jag who ran out of stuff to try when price was no object? I'm all for Tesla and the rockets, maybe seducing Fred and Ethel to run with autopoilot like it's gonna save them is a bad idea. Just drive.

It doesn't; there is no technical reason why similar systems could not be developed for any vehicle. I suspect that Market Research showed that people who buy high-end cars like Jaguars do so for the joy of driving them, while those who buy electric vehicles do so just to get from A to B while feeling good about their "contribution to the planet".

While 16 crashes sounds serious, and they probably were for those involved, they are but a small portion of all crashes involving road work crews. Since Autopilot is not advertised as a fully autonomous system I think the NHTSA would be better served ensuring that full self driving systems handle this situation.

The car manufacturers are the ones that ensure it. NHTSA can only define it and enforce that definition.

In this case let's disable all driver assist features, including automatic transmission slush boxes that allow the car to creep forward if the driver's foot isn't on the brake. The bottom line is that until fully autonomous vehicles are proven safe on the roads safety remains the driver's responsibility.

Yeah, maybe the safety agency should create a universal test course for autonomous vehicles that standardizes the way they are tested.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

So take away the system that makes them think it isn't.
