> Testing autonomous vehicles on the public road is dangerous and non productive in any way or form
Where are the accidents after many months? None, so nope, not dangerous just because you think it is.
> Exactly. Last time I checked R&D is corporate responsibility not public data exploit or "free work". People don't get it at all. If you will use my driving data, you must pay me or give me some incentive. I work for money, you are selling expensive product so how about half the price?
Oh so it's money problem now. If Tesla paid people for Beta testing, it'd be fine? So you're ok for people to allegedly (which I don't agree with anyway, but most of the rest of you do) risk each other's lives as long as they get paid.
Well, you can say the same about Apple, Google and pretty much any other company that runs Beta testing. People rush to do it for free and wait in line. They are compensated by having access to latest and greatest without waiting.
You think getting paid means they are not exploited? How about paying you for you kidney. That's OK? You don't seem to understand what being exploited means.
> The technology must be produced and tested to death, before is introduced to public roads. Touch interfaces implemented without any concern of ergonomic prerequisite are proven distraction and risk.
Stop with the blanket statements. Where are you numbers that shows Tesla's are getting into more accidents? You don't have it because it's not only there but it's the opposite. Tesla's get into far less accidents that general fleet (those numbers on Tesla's report).
> You can check the sales stat of NAS servers in recent years or resurrection of the flip phone.
You look at a jump in NAS servers and flip phones and conclude that they're going to take over SaaS and slabs? Go look at the relative jump and magnitude of SaaS increases too.
> Yes, some people got madly rich on marketing Cloud and AI scams and "user generated content", so what?
Ye, the fact that a one person with a few bucks can now access what was only available to few multi-nationsal a decade ago is a scam. Do you also think the Earth is flat and COVID is a hoax?
> Moving everything to SaaS model is clear madness.
If you're actually trying to do something of value, and someone takes off a huge payload off your shoulder so you can get there faster, you'd be a fool to not do it. Time is the ultimate currency here and anything that buys you time is a win. So in principle, SaaS, IaaS and any other XaaS is a win.
The only time it's not a win is if one is either mandated to keep sensitive data in-house, or runs such a large/custom workload that no other provider can economically meet.
