Totally concur. These low level driver assist features are better suited to take over from you in an emergency rather than relying on the driver to be immediately ready to react to a confused AI. Rather than doing all the driving, let the AI handle emergency braking or an emergency pull-over if the driver passes out…

Torch, it’s like you are getting what I’ve been saying around here for awhile. People are trying to develop tech to make us less engaged in what has been known as everyday life, only to replace it with something that can be monetized and engaged in their eco-system instead, regardless of its actual true value. It…

“The Tesla Dishwasher would stand over the sink, like a human, washing dishes with human-like hands, but for safety reasons you would have to stand behind it, your hands lightly holding the robot’s hands, like a pair of young lovers in their first apartment.”

This is a very well made argument. Nice work. As a result we all now get to hear a bunch of wondering dribble from some triggered muskers.

Hot take and totally right. Cadillac is doing it right by focusing on freeways, where you have a carefully controlled, predictable, well-marked, limited-access environment, and the benefit is high due to driver fatigue.

I’m not a “defund the police” type, but if they can’t be bothered to even take a report on this kind of thing maybe we shouldn’t bother paying them.

I may be able to help with that.

sorry friend, erase it from your mind!!!!!!

Dracos are legal in Cali as long as they have a plug in the gas system, mag lock and zero round magazine installed. At that point they’re considered a bolt action, single shot pistol. Could they have purchased it in that guise, pulled the plug and slapped an illegal mag in? Sure, but good luck proving it if they’ve…

In what world does spinning around in circles lower the amount of area where a bullet could go?

My thoughts exactly. This article reads like the writer doesn’t really know each of the service that well.

Exactly, I don’t check bags, so at my home airport I know exactly what door I want to go to, I tell the cab driver what door to park at, give landmarks and such. Not to the point of being Karen, more of, “forget the airline, I want to be as close as possible to door 3g just under the Skywalk.”, So I can get in that…

My wife and I are moving to Germany and I have been wondering if it would be worth getting the Global Entry (although I am not sure we can before we move within the next month or three).   One thing I’m not clear on is does it help you when leaving the US or only when returning.

“When to Pay for ‘Clear’ Over TSA PreCheck”

Answer: Never. Precheck first, then Clear if you want. Clear without PreCheck is pointless for air travel, you’ll still have to go through the insane securty BS that you skip with the cheaper, 5 year Precheck. If you have Precheck AND Clear, you get the shortest lines and…

Yeah, I’m not really sure what benefit CLEAR offers the government these days - they were one of the original partners for piloting precheck, but it feels like now they’re just a money grab. 

There are times when I’m torn whether I’m being ridiculous, because I’m sure there are other instances of this where it doesn’t bother me, but I despise the idea of a private company inserting themselves into the already-ridiculous security process, and determining who gets a fast-pass. 

plus the obvious one - it’s stupid easy to defeat.

But we don’t require such a system in cars, for reasons

I know a lot of different kinds of people, but I don’t personally know a single person who ever drives without a seatbelt. I also don’t know anyone who won’t take the covid vaccine.
