Globe tests whether Betteridge's Law still holds; finds it does

By adamg on Wed, 08/30/2023 - 10:42am

The Globe yesterday ran this headline: Self-driving cars are booming in San Francisco. Is it really a loss for Boston?

Betteridge's Law holds: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word No."

Also see: Driverless Cruise cars cause traffic jam day after mass expansion approved in San Francisco.

That the war between robots and humans has started. Humans are placing traffic cones on the hoods of self driving cars which stops them dead in their tracks and self driving food carts are getting mugged and tipped over and their contents stolen by desperate souls in need of food.

Could this be the end of Betteridge's Law?

Should we believe in Betteridge's Law?
