"...In the often chaotic environment of an emergency room ... the signs of a heart attack are not infrequently missed, and the consequences are profound. So an automated way of accurately and reliably spotting the telltale signs would be a significant step forward. But despite much research in this area, automated heart monitoring systems are significantly less reliable than trained cardiologists... Today, that looks set to change thanks to the work of ... [researchers who] have developed a neural network that can spot the signs of myocardial infarction, and they say the machine matches the performance of human cardiologists for the first time.

“...[T]he rear-endings [a self-driving Cruise was hit by a Cruise driven by a human employee] demonstrate that the technology is far from perfect. Cruise cars follow road laws to a T, coming to full stops at stop signs and braking for yellow lights. But human drivers don’t—and Cruise cars will be self-driving among humans for decades to come...The fact that a driver Cruise trained to work with these vehicles still managed to rear-end one emphasizes exactly how flawed they are." - Aarian Marshall, Reporter Learn More from WIRED >
