"content": "One way to think about it is this: You can make a car without a human driver in two different ways. The first is to put a robot in the car, which is kind of like a remote-control helicopter. The robot would have a video camera, some artificial intelligence, and some sensors. When you are driving, you would be able to see out the window and steer and accelerate and brake with a joystick or other controls, so it’s like you are driving, but you aren’t. You’d control the robot, and the robot would control the car. If you wanted to be super safe, you could build an extra sensor in the car that would only drive in the safest conditions, and when there were hazards, or if the car sensed the driver wasn’t doing what they should, then the robot would actually take over control of the car and drive it instead. This is the safer way, but it would also be kind of slow because the robot would just be doing the exact same thing that you would have done, and if you messed up, the robot would also mess up.\n\nThe other way is to give your car a super powerful computer, with artificial intelligence, and a pretty fast internet connection, and let it drive itself. This car would also have some sensors, but it wouldn’t really need them, because it would always have access to so much more information than you do. When you are driving, you would choose where you want to go, and your car would use all of its data to come up with the best route and way to get there. The computer would make all the decisions about how to handle unexpected events and road conditions, and would do the braking and steering and everything. It’s kind of like having a flying car that is in control of everything, and you just decide where you want to go. Most people use cars like this, because they’re pretty good and most of the time you don’t really want to do all of that work and risking making a mistake.",

{
"content": "The safety of autonomous cars is a very controversial topic right now. As a car moves along a road, it’s constantly receiving information from its sensors: can it see nearby traffic, or other road users? And it’s constantly receiving information from its GPS system: what is the speed limit in this location, where are the red lights? And it’s always making decisions: how fast should it go? Does it have the right-of-way? The driver is an important part of all of this decision-making, but it’s one of the most challenging areas of technology. Autonomous cars are often compared to flying an airplane, where you just get on and have your fun, and there’s a crew in charge. The computers do the hard work of flying. But you can’t just look at something and tell if it’s safe to drive. There’s always a tradeoff. For example, we can take a picture of an intersection and see how many cars have stopped there at different times, and then estimate how many cars are likely to arrive in the future. But no image will ever be able to tell you exactly how many cars will be in an intersection at any given time, because each car is in motion, and each driver is different and can change his or her mind in the moment. In the end, the computer is probably making hundreds of judgments, some of them simple, and some of them incredibly complicated. And humans make judgments too. That’s why the driver needs to be paying attention, and must still be able to see clearly, and still must have his or her own ideas about what to do.",

Your contract will last for some number of months, and at the end of the contract, you’ll either renew your contract, or purchase a new phone and start again.\n\n- If you are switching carriers, you’ll also be purchasing a contract, although it will not be directly tied to a specific phone.",

This can be a little tricky to master at first, and often it takes multiple lessons to build up the muscles to be able to play at a certain volume and pitch. \nAnother instrument to try is the trombone. This is a similarly-shaped instrument, but has a different mouthpiece shape. Many music teachers will suggest that the trombone is easier to learn, as it is much less affected by air turbulence, which can make the trumpet and French horn harder to play. \nThere are also other instruments that are more advanced, but can be pretty good fun.

During this growth phase, you do not necessarily lose hair, but your hair does become finer, and thinner. The hair can stay this way for a period of time, which may extend your time without thinning hair or hair loss. However, this is not permanent, and your hair will begin the “catagen phase,” which is where hair falls out. Also, there is no guarantee that your hair will not continue to thin, and if it does, there is not any way to stop it. However, if your hair stays thicker for more time, it can give you a longer time without hair loss, and therefore give you more time to accept this without feeling as upset. \nAdditionally, there are things that you can do to slow the process of hair loss. This is important because it will give you time to get used to the idea of hair loss, or at least make you feel more in control of the process, and feel less stressed about it.
