Sun, Nov 14, Rittenhouse's mother gives eyebrow-raising interview on Fox News.
Helen Sharman, who visited the Soviet Mir space station in , told the Observer newspaper on Sunday that "aliens exist, there's no two ways about it.
Maybe not. Then, in a tantalizing theory that should probably make you very suspicious of your colleagues, Sharman added: "It's possible they're here right now and we simply can't see them. Sharman was the first of seven Britons to enter space. Sharman became the first Briton in space in Read More. The chemist spent eight days as a researcher on the space mission when she was 27, making her one of the youngest people to enter orbit.
NASA rovers are trawling Mars for evidence of past or present life forms, but humankind's endless fascination with extraterrestrial life forms has so far proved fruitless. Sharman is not the only person to speculate that we've had brushes with aliens, though. Aliens, flying discs and sightings -- oh my!
A short history of UFOs in America. Assuming that the aliens could takeover the AI systems that are doing the driving, those pesky and clever aliens would henceforth control our mobility, entirely, across the globe.
Instead, we become trapped by our own devised mobility autonomy and the aliens could easily restrict our movement. The third reason that the aliens might be triggered via the advent of AI-based true self-driving cars is the AI part of the equation. The upbeat version is that the aliens are finally able to communicate with us, and we all become one happy family, residing together on Earth in peace and harmony yes, still aiming for that, thanks. I would ask that you at least realize that by discussing this topic, it does bring up some important societal aspects about the future of self-driving cars and self-driving vehicles of all kinds, and likewise raises important questions about the future of AI.
In a sense, the alien beings premise provides the sugar coating for getting us all to take the medicine that we need to put some serious thought into what a self-driving world will be like, along with what a world that has extremely advanced AI will be like.
The good news, one could argue, involves the aspect that we are still a long way away from arriving at true self-driving, and even further away from any widespread adoption of self-driving, allowing us time to discuss and debate these meaty topics. Not everyone agrees about the timing of these matters, including some that suggest we are near to achieving self-driving and we are also near to achieving a singularity.
