I went there in the 80s. It was all pretty disgusting with the exception of the sea food in Merida.
It was certainly nothing like the food you see today that is more Texmex. I didnt see one fajita, enchilada, or burrito. I saw chunks of meat encased in an inch of fat in gravy. Chicken mole (a truly vile mix of black chocolate, chillies and spices), and some rank meat on a corn tortilla that gave me the sh*ts for 3 days.
I ended up eating milanesa and rice, as the only edible food.
(And Guatemala wasnt much better either).

Eat some chiles rellenos for me, please. The sort that violates any nuclear arms treaties.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

No question. A proper torta is a thing of beauty.

I am a big fan of real Mexican food too and definitely not the Tex-Mex stuff. Thankfully, I have found a couple of really good places around here. A few tacos and a good habanero sauce are my favorites. Preferably with a good cerveza or two.

Still the only thing I miss about Mexico today is the street tacos.

Well done, sir!
I did genuinely think that that one would cause problems. Moral of the story? Never try to guess how hard or easy your clue might be.

Now I want to see how they show why their little monster did what it did, how it will react in other situations and how to 'cure' it from its delusions.
The AI fans always forget that even the dumbest human driver has a few million years of evolution behind him. How can they think to play better in the same league with x hours of training and 'testing'?

They haven't released the video footage, but the reports say it was her fault - she walked out in front of it so close than nothing could have prevented the collision, human or robotic driver: Tempe police chief: Uber 'likely' not at fault in fatal self-driving car crash - Business Insider[^]
And you can be sure that there is more telemetry and recorded info in this accident than in any previous death-by-driving case, with the possible exception of Ayrton Senna...

That may be. There are certainly hopeless situations. Still, no telemetry in the world is going to tell us why the AI did or did not do something. Would you like to have to make any guarantees for the behavior of your contraption? They don't have to become Terminators to be dangerous.

Do you know what the "emergency brake" used to be for? Do you why it is now the "parking brake" instead?
Do you know what anti-lock brakes are for? Do you know why they are safer, for most people, than versus the alternative, for most people, in the past?
What about when cars will not stop? This happens apparently more than I thought because I found the following looking for the other example that I know exists.
Driver was unable to stop or slow down his car[^]
So perhaps you don't drive at all, but everyone else already relies on the behavior of their "contraption".

Yeah well I would dispute that, we've all been in that situation driving along where nobody is in front of you but they are near enough that you keep your eyes open - people walking close to the edge of the road, kids playing football in front of their house, dog walkers with the dog jumping about ...
If this woman "walked out in front of it so close than nothing could have prevented the collision" seems likely she was already close to the edge of the road, most humans would (1) gently nudge the car away from that lane/road edge before reaching (I'm sure in Az the lanes are wide enough), and (2) pay extra attention to watch for change of direction.
There's more to driving then what does happen, but being ready for what else can happen - yes some things are completely unexpected but where you can anticipate these possibilities you can and should be prepared. You see a drunk on the road do you pass within inches or wait till a nice big gap appears...

You are describing a good human driver, what about the many deaths daily caused by detracted, dangerous drivers.
By the time this technology makes it to the mainstream, all the bugs will be sorted out and the roads will be a far safer place, current dangerous and careless driving offenses will no longer exist.

Really? How will they do that? How do you unit test the AI? How do you prove that your AI can deal with any circumstances a very complex world throws at it?
Look at how miserably we fail at testing normal code made up of simple, limited functions. From where do you take the optimism that this will miraculously work for something as complex as an AI?
