Google’s autonomous car gets a ‘B’ in driving test Not great but better than most of us

Self-driving cars have come under increased scrutiny in the past week, as newly uncovered documents show that a 2012 road test for one of Google’s self-driving cars resulted in a pass very much without flying colors. The data in question come from government documents acquired through Freedom of Information laws, and show that on its Nevada driving test Google’s car had its share of small problems, and that it was never exposed to some difficult situations like railroad crossings, roundabouts, and school zones. There’s also some question as to whether Google was unfairly involved in designing the test, and that the Google team set the car’s route beforehand and specifically avoided troubling weather conditions. Additionally, at several trouble points the car decided it was incapable of proceeding safely and turned control over to its human occupants — and the irony of that limitation was simply too good for most media outlets to pass up.

Still, this latest “exposé” is not nearly as damning as some are framing it to be. To me, the interesting thing about self-driving cars is not the amount of trust that people are willing to put in self-driven vehicles, but rather the amount of trust that they are willing to put in human-driven vehicles. Most people’s reaction to driving algorithms involves questions such as, “What if there was a bug?” or, “What if you got hacked?” Such questions are best answered with a counter-question: What if your taxi driver had a seizure? What if your bus driver panicked in an unexpected situation? What if the trucker coming from the other direction simply fell asleep at the wheel?

Bear in mind that some maddeningly large portion of human drivers also don’t know how to deal with roundabouts, rail crossings, and similar situations, but that they have too much ego and self-interest to admit this fact and avoid a particular intersection. We accredit these people to drive because, a) the economy must continue to function even if most people are uncoordinated and easily distracted, and b) because we understand that licensing someone to drive is about telling whether or not they are good enough to drive. Every tiny mistake, from a missed shoulder check to an improper turning angle, could easily result in a death, so the point is not whether a driver could hypothetically make a fatal mistake, but how likely such a mistake is to occur.

Autopilot in planes, while less complex,
has improved the safety of air travel.

Additionally, most drivers can’t be usefully
trained how to react to things like aquaplaning or brake failure, and even if they have been trained they’ll often panic and take the wrong action. Self-driving vehicles, by contrast, can be given vicarious training on the level of a population — new research on how to handle ice can be distributed and perfectly internalized by every auto-car on the road, regardless of age. I can’t even get my grandpa to yield to buses! There seems to be something deeply welded into the human psyche, an impulse to be less fearful of dangers we understand. I can understand and empathize with my grandpa’s crusty stubbornness with regard to transit vehicles, and thus his dangerous driving is less distressing to me than the exact same behavior unconsciously executed by some faceless software construct.

When people point to the early-stage limitations of self-driving software as an attack on its chance of success, they are also making a second, more strident statement: that self-driving vehicles don’t just have problems, but that those problems are in fact more dangerous than the problems with human drivers. I don’t have to cite a glut of horrifying driving statistics to point out how absurd such an idea is, do I? The extreme fallibility (and physical limitations) of human drivers are in fact pushing self-driving technology forward, as industry sees a chance to reduce liability; if you don’t trust the public-safety motivations of government overseers, then trust the profit incentives pushing corporations like Walmart away from accident-prone mammalian car-pilots.

A self-driving Prius much like the one that took the Nevada road test

Imperfection in a self-driving system is fixable — a self-driving mistake that leads to a fatality can be used to prevent all such mistakes from happening again in the future. As such, bugs in software ought to distress us far less than similar or identical bugs in human ability. The safety of a road with even one human driver is dictated by the worst moment of the worst human driver in the area, while the safety of a totally self-driven roadway is dictated by the pinnacle of human mastery of software and multi-variable kinetics.

This test shows not that self-driving cars are as bad as a middling driver, but that they are as good as one. That’s better than any highway-driving population on Earth could ever hope to collectively deliver. Remember: it’s not about the car being better than you. It’s about you being worse than the car.

Flash Sound Tutorial How to Add Sound to Flash Movies Importing Audio Files into a Flash Documents Library

In this beginners Flash sound tutorial, were going to talk about the basics of how to add sound in Flash. Adding sound to your Flash projects can make them a little more interesting. You can use audio files to add voice over narrations, background music and sound effects, for example. One way of being able to work with sound using Flash is by importing the sound files into your Flash document. Some of the audio formats that Flash gives you the ability to import include, but are not limited to:

MP3
WAV
AIFF

NOTE: Working with audio in Flash can take up a lot of resources. You might want to consider working with MP3 files over WAV and AIFF files since MP3 files are compressed and will take up less disk space. Also, if you wont be using the entire audio file, you might want to create a shorter version of the audio file using an audio editing application, and use that shortened version instead. This will help save more disk space.

To be able to add sound to the timeline of your Flash movie, import the audio file into your Flash document first. Heres how:

From the main menu, choose File > Import > Import to Library
When the Import to Library dialog box comes up, navigate to the folder that contains the audio file, select the file, and click on Open
Once Flash finishes importing the file, you should be able to see it in the Flash documents library

You can preview the audio file by selecting it in the library, and then clicking on the play button in the preview window.

In the next article, were going to learn how to add imported audio files to a Flash documents timeline. That article is also going to talk about the difference between the Flash Event Sound and the Flash Stream Sound options - two options for synchronizing sound in Flash.

Creating a Flex AIR text editor Part 50

In this tutorial we will start turning our snippet structure plan to life.

The first thing well need to do is get rid of everything that, according to the previous tutorials plan, is not needed.

Firstly go to the SnippetWindow.mxml file, remove all things related to XML and the code that is responsible for applying changes. In the setValues() function, add 2 parameters - conn1 and conn2. Those will be the connection objects for category and snippet databases. Declare snippetConnection and categoryConnection variables that will receive these parameters values and store them.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

this.addEventListener(Event.CLOSING, onClose);
}

private function onClose(evt:Event):void {
this.visible = false;
evt.preventDefault();
}

public function setValues(xmlData:XMLList, conn1:SQLConnection, conn2:SQLConnection, createNewOnStart:Boolean = false, newText:String = ""):void {
snippetConnection = conn1;
categoryConnection = conn2;
treeData = xmlData.copy();
newTextInput.text = newText;
newNameInput.text = "New snippet name here";
if (newText=="") {
newTextInput.text = "New snippet text here";
}
}

private function addSnippet(name:String, text:String):void{

}

private function addCategory(name:String):void{

}

<mx:Tree id="snippetManageTree" dataProvider="{treeData}" width="490" height="300" showRoot="false" labelField="@label"/>
</s:VGroup>

</mx:Window>

Now go to the main mxml file. Here, remove the rewriteSQL() and snippetChange() functions completely.

Add a connection2 variable next to connection, as well as snippetData and categoryData objects:

public var connection:SQLConnection;
public var connection2:SQLConnection;

private var snippetData:Array;
private var categoryData:Array;

In the init() function, remove the line which listens to the Event.CHANGE event for the snippetWindow object.

In the part where we declare database object and set up connections, add and open connection2 as well:

// Database management
var dbFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("database.db");
connection = new SQLConnection();
connection2 = new SQLConnection();
connection2.open(dbFile, SQLMode.CREATE);
connection.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, onOpen);
connection.openAsync(dbFile, SQLMode.CREATE);

Now update the doSnippet() function to pass connection and connection2 values as parameters with the setValues() function. In the snippetTreeChange event, remove the line which inserts the text:

private function snippetTreeChange(evt:Event):void {
if (evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.@isBranch == false) {
// TODO: get data from database and insert it
evt.currentTarget.selectedIndex = -1;
}
}

private function doSnippet(createNew:Boolean = false, newText:String = ""):void{
snippetWindow.open();
snippetWindow.activate();
snippetWindow.visible = true;
snippetWindow.setValues(snippetXML, connection, connection2, createNew, newText);
}

Now, be careful and pay attention on the next part. After both connections are open, the onOpen() function is called. Here we create the snippets table:

private function onOpen(evt:SQLEvent):void {
// create snippets table
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS snippets (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, snippetName TEXT, snippetText TEXT, categoryID INTEGER, snippetPosition INTEGER)";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(onCreateSnippets));
}

NOTE: IF YOU FOLLOWED THE STEPS OF THE PREVIOUS TUTORIALS, YOU WILL NEED TO DELETE THE SNIPPETS TABLE TO RESET THE SETTINGS.

To do that, change the code aboves statements text to "DROP TABLE snippets" and run the code once. Then change it back to what it is shown here.

When the snippets table is created, we proceed to create the category table:

private function onCreateSnippets(evt:SQLResult):void {
// create category table
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection2;
stat.text = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS categories (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, categoryName TEXT, categoryPosition INTEGER)";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(onCreateCategory));
}

When this is created, we select the items from the snippets table.

private function onCreateCategory(evt:SQLResult):void {
// select snippets
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection;
stat.text = "SELECT id, snippetName, categoryID, snippetPosition FROM snippets ORDER BY id";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(onSelectedSnippets));
}

When we receive those, we set the snippetData variables value to the data received. Then we also select all categories:

private function onSelectedSnippets(evt:SQLResult):void {
// save selected snippets to a variable
snippetData = evt.data;

// select categories
var stat:SQLStatement = new SQLStatement();
stat.sqlConnection = connection2;
stat.text = "SELECT id, categoryName, categoryPosition FROM categories ORDER BY id";
stat.execute( -1, new Responder(onSelectedCategories));
}

When we receive that, we set categoryData property value to the received data. Then we call a function called createSnippetXML:

private function onSelectedCategories(evt:SQLResult):void {
// save selected categories to a variable
categoryData = evt.data;

// call function to start creating the XML
createSnippetXML();
}

Here, we will first create a temporary piece of code which changes categoryData and snippetData to pre-defined array of objects (because our databases are empty and this is necessary for debugging).

Then we check if there are any objects in any database at all. If there is at least one item in any of the databases, then create root tags for the snippetXML object.

After that we loop through the categories to add them and their content.

Later we loop through the snippets one more time to add items that do not belong to any category:

private function createSnippetXML():void {
// temporary:
categoryData = [ 
{ id:0, categoryName:"Cat1", categoryPosition:1 },
{ id:1, categoryName:"Cat2", categoryPosition:0 },
]

snippetData = [ 
{ id:0, snippetName: "Snip1", snippetPosition: 0, categoryID: 0 },
{ id:1, snippetName: "Snip2", snippetPosition: 1, categoryID: 0 },
{ id:2, snippetName: "Snip3", snippetPosition: 1, categoryID: 1 },
{ id:3, snippetName: "Snip4", snippetPosition: 0, categoryID: 1 },
{ id:4, snippetName: "Snip5", snippetPosition: 0, categoryID: -1 },
{ id:5, snippetName: "Snip6", snippetPosition: 1, categoryID: -1 },
]

snippetXML = new XMLList();

// add root tags if there are any items in any database
if (snippetData || categoryData) {
snippetXML = new XMLList(<root></root>);
}

// loop through categories to add them and their content
if (categoryData) {
for (var i:int = 0; i < categoryData.length; i++) {
var aCategory:XML = <category/>
aCategory.@id = categoryData[i].id;
aCategory.@label = categoryData[i].categoryName;
aCategory.@isBranch = true;
snippetXML[0].appendChild(aCategory);
for (var u:int = 0; u < snippetData.length; u++) {
if (snippetData[u].categoryID == categoryData[i].id) {
var aSnippet:XML = <snippet/>;
aSnippet.@id = snippetData[u].id;
aSnippet.@label = snippetData[u].snippetName;
aSnippet.@categoryID = snippetData[u].categoryID;
aCategory.appendChild(aSnippet);
}
}
}
// look for snippets located in root tags (not in a category)
for (var t:int = 0; t < snippetData.length; t++) {
if (snippetData[t].categoryID == -1) {
var aRootSnippet:XML = <snippet/>;
aRootSnippet.@id = snippetData[t].id;
aRootSnippet.@label = snippetData[t].snippetName;
aRootSnippet.@categoryID = snippetData[t].categoryID;
snippetXML[0].appendChild(aRootSnippet);
}
}
}
}

It displays everything correctly now.

Thats all for today.

Creating a Pentomino game using AS3 Part 38

Today we will add the ability to browse through the solutions.

Firstly declare a new variable - currentSol. Set its value to 0 by default. This variable represents the id of the solution that is currently displayed.

private var currentSol:int = 0;

Open the project in Flash and go to fifth frame (the solutions screen). Add two buttons shaped like arrows with ids btn_prev and btn_next. Add a dynamic text field with id tSol, it will display which solutions is currently is shown.

Go to level_solver.as again and in the solve() function add CLICK event listeners for btn_prev and btn_next. Set handlers to goPrev and goNext functions:

btn_prev.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goPrev);
btn_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);

The functions decrease/increase currentSol values and call updateCurrentInfo() function.

private function goPrev(evt:MouseEvent):void {
currentSol--;
updateCurrentInfo();
}

private function goNext(evt:MouseEvent):void {
currentSol++;
updateCurrentInfo();
}

The same function is called in nextCycle():

private function nextCycle():void {
cycleNum++;
updateCurrentInfo();
if (cycleNum == givenShapes.length) {
removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onFrame);
// display info
tInfo.text = Finished solving " + levelName + "
Attempts:  + attempts + "
Solutions: " + solutions.length;
}
}

The function updates what is displayed in the tSol text field, disables/enables arrow buttons when needed, draws the preview image:

private function updateCurrentInfo():void {
var sol:int = (solutions.length > 0)?(currentSol + 1):(0);
tSol.text = sol + "/" + solutions.length;
if (sol <= 1) {
btn_prev.alpha = 0.5;
btn_prev.mouseEnabled = false;
}else {
btn_prev.alpha = 1;
btn_prev.mouseEnabled = true;
}
if (sol == solutions.length) {
btn_next.alpha = 0.5;
btn_next.mouseEnabled = false;
}else {
btn_next.alpha = 1;
btn_next.mouseEnabled = true;
}
if (solutions.length > 0) drawPreview(levelPreview, solutions[currentSol]);
}

Update the drawPreview() function so that cells are colored depending on the shape type:

private function drawPreview(levelPreview:MovieClip, mapGrid:Array):void {
var columns:int = mapGrid[0].length;
var rows:int = mapGrid.length;
var frameWidth:int = levelPreview.width;
var frameHeight:int = levelPreview.height;
var padding:int = 5;
var fitWidth:int = levelPreview.width - (padding * 2);
var fitHeight:int = levelPreview.height - (padding * 2);
var gridStartX:int;
var gridStartY:int;

// calculate width of a cell:
var gridCellWidth:int = Math.round(fitWidth / columns);

var width:int = columns * gridCellWidth;
var height:int = rows * gridCellWidth;

// calculate side margin
gridStartX = (frameWidth - width) / 2;

if (height < fitHeight) {
gridStartY = (fitHeight - height) / 2;
}
if (height >= fitHeight) {
gridCellWidth = Math.round(fitHeight / rows);
height = rows * gridCellWidth;
width = columns * gridCellWidth;
gridStartY = (frameHeight - height) / 2;
gridStartX = (frameWidth - width) / 2;
}

// draw map
levelPreview.shape.x = gridStartX;
levelPreview.shape.y = gridStartY;
levelPreview.shape.graphics.clear();
var i:int;
var u:int;

for (i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (u = 0; u < columns; u++) {
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 1) drawCell(u, i, 0xffffff, 1, 0x999999, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 2) drawCell(u, i, 0xff66cc, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 3) drawCell(u, i, 0x00FF66, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 4) drawCell(u, i, 0x99ff00, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 5) drawCell(u, i, 0x00ccff, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 6) drawCell(u, i, 0xffcc66, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 7) drawCell(u, i, 0x66cc33, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 8) drawCell(u, i, 0x9900ff, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 9) drawCell(u, i, 0xff5858, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 10) drawCell(u, i, 0xff6600, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 11) drawCell(u, i, 0x00ffff, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 12) drawCell(u, i, 0xff6b20, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
if (mapGrid[i][u] == 13) drawCell(u, i, 0xffff66, 1, 0x000000, gridCellWidth, levelPreview.shape);
}
}
}

Now we can browse through the solutions!

Creating a Flex AIR Annotator app Part 13

Today well start creating the annotations feature.

Firstly, lets set up the options panel for the annotations. Go to toolbarStack container and find the NavigatorContent which contains placeholder Annotation text and controls.

Here, we will add following items: a TextInput for annotation text, 2 ColorPicker objects - for annotation body color and text color, 3 buttons with icons - for adding, editing and deleting annotations.

It should be noted that were going to use custom class for the buttons. That class is SmallButton. It is similar to IconButton, except that it is smaller.

The icons we use are bubble_add.png, bubble_edit.png and bubble_delete.png, which are renamed icons from the free silk icon set by FamFamFam:

Save them in your lib folder.

Bind the two color pickers selectedColor properties to aBodyColor and aTextColor values (using two way binding). Set the click event handler for the new button to addAnnotation().

The code for the NavigatorContent now looks like this:

<s:NavigatorContent>
<s:VGroup width="100%" height="44" top="4">
<s:Label fontSize="18" color="#333333">Selected: Annotation</s:Label>
<s:HGroup>
<s:TextInput width="180" text="Insert text here" />
<mx:ColorPicker selectedColor="@{aBodyColor}" toolTip="Annotation body color" />
<mx:ColorPicker selectedColor="@{aTextColor}" toolTip="Annotation text color" />
<custom:SmallButton icon="@Embed(../lib/bubble_add.png)" toolTip="New" buttonMode="true" click="addAnnotation();" />
<custom:SmallButton icon="@Embed(../lib/bubble_edit.png)" toolTip="Save changes" enabled="false" buttonMode="true" />
<custom:SmallButton icon="@Embed(../lib/bubble_delete.png)" toolTip="Delete" enabled="false" buttonMode="true" />
</s:HGroup>
</s:VGroup>
</s:NavigatorContent>

Now go to the drawArea object and create an annotations group there, after the drawGroup:

<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="on" verticalScrollPolicy="on" rollOver="canvasOver();" rollOut="canvasOut();">
<mx:Box backgroundColor="#eeeeee" width="100%" height="100%" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:Box id="drawArea" backgroundColor="#ffffff" width="300" height="200" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off">
<mx:ViewStack id="stack" change="stackChange();">
<s:NavigatorContent>
<custom:BigButton icon="@Embed(../lib/folder.png)" subtext="Import picture" toolTip="Open file" enabled="true" buttonMode="true" bWidth="300" bHeight="200" click="importPicture();" />
</s:NavigatorContent>
<s:NavigatorContent>
<mx:Image id="imgHolder" />
<s:Group id="drawGroup">
<s:Group id="drawSprite" />
<s:Group id="tempSprite" />
</s:Group>
<s:Group id="annotations">
</s:Group>
<mx:Box id="drawHitArea" alpha="0" backgroundColor="#000000" mouseDown="drawDown();" mouseMove="drawMove();"/>
</s:NavigatorContent>
</mx:ViewStack>
</mx:Box>
</mx:Box>
</mx:Canvas>

Declare the two annotation color variables:

[Bindable]
private var aBodyColor:uint = 0xffff88;
[Bindable]
private var aTextColor:uint = 0x000000;

Now lets do this addAnnotation() function. For now, simply create a new TextArea object and set fixed width, height and text values. Set the coordinates of the newly created annotation to a random value in the drawArea boundaries.

private function addAnnotation():void {
var newAnn:TextArea = new TextArea();
newAnn.text = "This is annotation";
newAnn.width = 200;
newAnn.height = 20;
newAnn.setStyle("contentBackgroundColor", aBodyColor);
newAnn.setStyle("color", aTextColor);
newAnn.x = Math.random() * (drawArea.width - 200);
newAnn.y = Math.random() * (drawArea.height - 20);
newAnn.editable = false;
newAnn.selectable = false;
annotations.addElement(newAnn);
}

We want to clear annotations when we import a new picture. Go to stackChange() and add a loop which goes through all children of the annotations container and removes them one by one:

private function stackChange():void {
if (stack.selectedIndex == 1) {
imgHolder.source = new Bitmap(bitmapData);
drawArea.width = content.width;
drawArea.height = content.height;
drawGroup.width = content.width;
drawGroup.height = content.height;
buttonsEnabled = true;
drawSprite.graphics.clear();
var anns:Number = annotations.numChildren;
for (var i:int = 0; i < anns; i++){
annotations.removeElementAt(0);
}
drawTempBitmap();
updateDrawHitArea();
}
}

Thats all for today.
