A Disaster Waiting to Happen | Get Up, Stand Up

EE Times Current · 2 Apr 2021 · 30m

What this episode covers

Phil Copelman, co-founder of Edge Case Research, argues that SAE Level 3 autonomy is a safety disaster because the standard's complex handoff requirements are unintelligible to drivers, creating a dangerous gap between engineering definitions and human understanding. The episode also examines Amazon's labor practices through the lens of Robin Gaster, author of 'Behemoth, Amazon Rising,' discussing the unionization vote at the Bessemer, Alabama facility and the company's culture of worker disposability. Additionally, the hosts cover Arm's announcement of its V9 architecture and Boston Dynamics' new 'Stretch' warehouse robot.
