US driverless cars unsafe as they can’t spot iconic British vehicles like the Routemaster bus and Hackney cab, experts warn

US driverless cars pose a safety risk on the UK's streets as they can't spot iconic British vehicles, such as London’s red buses and black cabs, as their artificial intelligence has not been taught to notice them on the roads, experts claim.

Engineers have noticed that the autonomous cars made in Silicon Valley are currently using cameras and software that have only been trained on pictures and videos of US vehicles, meaning they won’t detect unique vehicles with more district styles, such as the Routemaster bus and Hackney taxi.

This has led UK scientists and politicians to raise questions over companies like Google and Uber, who have been developing their own autonomous technology, being able to test driverless cars in Britain.

Can't spot a red double decker bus...  :blink:

Symantec retires Norton ConnectSafe (DNS) on November 15, 2018

Computer uses who use Symantec's NortonConnectSafe public DNS service need to switch to another service soon as Symantec announced the shutdown of the service.

Norton ConnectSafe will be shut down on November 15, 2018 for all users. Devices that use Norton ConnectSafe DNS servers will be unable to connect to Internet sites and services starting on that day.

Symantec published  a support page on the Norton website that provides users with instructions on removing Norton ConnectSafe settings from their devices.

The process switches the DNS server that is used on the device from Symantec's Norton ConnectSafe servers to the servers provided by the Internet Service Provider.

You may switch to another DNS provider such as Open DNS or Cloudflare DNS instead and may want to consider using DNSCrypt on top of that to encrypt DNS traffic.
