Maybe the problem is because they are looking into Wikipedia, but they should be looking into Corrosionpedia!

The Corrosion Doctors are also on it... :-)
It takes 60 tons of paint and needs to be done by hand. The solution for Cathodic protection would have to be, it seems, by covering it in Zinc before the repaint.

They are increasing the risk for others as:
"...The regulators issued the permit despite safety concerns arising from Cruise's inability to pick up and drop off passengers at the curb in its autonomous taxis, requiring the vehicles to double park in traffic lanes..."
And after all those light years the LIDAR focused industry can't still see in fog, dust, rain or snow. An Eliza, just with more compute power and some badly understood ML algos.
Yes, I have seen the demo videos of self driving cars on snow.
The most sad and ironic about your comment, is that had you not added the /s tag, a few on this thread would assume you were serious :-)
Does Cruise on Cruise crash counts?
"A Cruise-on-Cruise Crash Reveals the Hardest Thing About Self-Driving Tech": https://www.wired.com/story/cruise-on-cruise-crash-hardest-t...
In this case a Cruise car was rear ended by a Cruise car driven by a human, because their unsophisticated software makes for the car to break hard. As explained in the article:
"...That said, the rear-endings 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..."
No it won't. The US is the land of regulatory capture.
"A Tesla driver is charged in a crash involving Autopilot that killed 2 people": https://www.npr.org/2022/01/18/1073857310/tesla-autopilot-cr...
Presumably, these regulators are the same, that allowed this Tesla very alpha software to be tested on public roads. Also from your own reference it does not seem like Cruise capabilities are much above an amusement park level toy ride:
"...The regulators issued the permit despite safety concerns arising from Cruise's inability to pick up and drop off passengers at the curb in its autonomous taxis, requiring the vehicles to double park in traffic lanes..."
"...vehicles confined to transporting passengers in less congested parts of San Francisco from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Those restrictions are designed to minimize chances of the robotic taxis causing property damage, injuries or death if something goes awry..."
"... Cruise's driverless service won't be allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog either..."
Plus it seems the system is another alpha/beta release:
"A Fleet of Confused Self-Driving Cars Stopped in the Middle of a Street for Hours": https://gizmodo.com/cruise-confuse-self-driving-cars-san-fra...
Same video, another almost disaster forcing driver to break hard: https://youtu.be/yxX4tDkSc_g?t=428
It's a tram not a train, the driver does call it a tram, but labels the video a train...It's the new era of word twisting..inspired by FSD...
Edit: Still the same video, here driver has to break hard. Would run a red light, get several people killed at that large, busy, and fast intersection: https://youtu.be/yxX4tDkSc_g?t=738
Insane....just insane, and that is being diplomatic.

"...In this paper we focus on the RISC-V cores where speculation is enabled and, as we show, where Spectre attacks are as effective as on x86. Even though RISC-V hardware mitigations were proposed in the past, they have not yet passed the prototype phase. Instead, we propose low-overhead software mitigations for Spectre-BTI, inspired from those used on the x86 architecture, and for Spectre-RSB, to our knowledge the first such mitigation to be proposed. We show that these mitigations work in practice and that they can be integrated in the LLVM toolchain. For transparency and reproducibility, all our programs and data are made publicly available online...."

"...In this paper, we study the capabilities of Copilot in two different programming tasks:
(1) generating (and reproducing) correct and efficient solutions for fundamental algorithmic problems,
and
(2) comparing Copilot's proposed solutions with those of human programmers on a set of programming tasks.
For the former, we assess the performance and functionality of Copilot in solving selected fundamental problems in computer science, like sorting and implementing basic data structures. In the latter, a dataset of programming problems with human-provided solutions is used...
...The results show that Copilot is capable of providing solutions for almost all fundamental algorithmic problems, however, some solutions are buggy and non-reproducible. Moreover, Copilot has some difficulties in combining multiple methods to generate a solution. Comparing Copilot to humans, our results show that the correct ratio of human solutions is greater than Copilot's correct ratio, while the buggy solutions generated by Copilot require less effort to be repaired...While Copilot shows limitations as an assistant for developers especially in advanced programming tasks, as highlighted in this study and previous ones, it can generate preliminary solutions for basic programming tasks...."
