When I picked up the car, I did note that the license plate did not match the contract. As I was a corporate customer, I never saw the desk. It just went to my app, here’s your car, red Camry, license plate blah-blah.

I even ASKED at the exit, hey, do I have the right car? Plate doesn’t match my contract. They assured…

Avis blows balls.

They once rented me a Camry that THEY had switched out the license plates with another vehicle. As the story goes, the Camry had its license plates stolen, but they had just sold a Ford Expedition that they still had the plates for. So, they threw the plates from the Expedition onto the Camry, and…

By your standard even more popular things can be reviled.

Or CA Prop 187. Check out that bit of racist nastiness.
Or CA Prop 8. Who can forget that institutionalized homophobia.

Sometimes the courts do need to knock down the props. 

I and 40 of my friends can hate your guts and you and 57 of your friends can think you are the coolest thing ever, it doesn’t make you not reviled.

Question: Has one of these companies ever made a penny of profit? Any of them got a realistic shot of doing so anytime this decade? Maybe this just speeds up the process of all those VC donors pulling the plug. If your business can’t turn a profit without exploiting and underpaying people, then your business doesn’t…

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?

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.
