  • I assume it’s because the traffic laws were written so that it’s illegal for a driver to do certain things. If so, owners of driverless cars could (at least theoretically) fight the tickets in court due to the lack of a driver to ticket?

    If I were a judge I’d be tempted to consider the driver to be the person (or company) that caused such a car to drive on the public street, despite them not necessarily being inside the car at the time of the offense. After all, at some point in this process a person was involved even if it was someone at the manufacturer activating a “drive to the person who bought you” feature. (If it was an AI, then whoever created the AI and allowed it to do that, etc.)

    But then again I have no legal training whatsoever, so perhaps that ruling would get me kicked off the bench or at least overruled on appeal :þ.






  • According to Halioua’s post, breeding large dogs for their size caused elevated levels of IGF-1, a hormone that promotes cell growth. Though this hormone contributes to the animals’ great size, it also hastens their aging. LOY-001 reduces the levels of IGF-1 in large and giant dog breeds, extending healthy life spans.

    Would that also cause them to grow to smaller sizes? (I suppose that may depend on whether this drug is administered before or after the dog is full-grown though)
