Well, at least them being removeable means that round aftermarket ones should be easy to create and install

Um, he “runs” Tesla. Please try to keep up.

There’s no early implementations at this point. These things hit the market in 2004 per the IIHS and the data shows cars with them have lower rates of claims. The US regulators have once again been asleep at the wheel, this time for damn near 20 years.

These are shaping the beam to allow the lights to still be at the angle you may want without shining into the faces of oncoming drivers. In theory, it maintains the visibility advantage of high beams without blinding others or switching between high and low beams every time you meet traffic.

Why run two assembly lines and pay extra workers when you can just produce more cars faster and disable $15 worth of parts in software.

It’s an extremely hard problem to solve. You can make a car self-drive successfully some 99% of the time, but all the edge cases contained in the 1% that the software+hardware can’t handle are too much to be acceptable. And making the software+hardware handle those 1% of cases takes at least as much money and time as…

Driving on public roads is hard, people aren’t great at it, and tech still has a ways to go. Look at how mediocre some adaptive cruise controls and lane keep assists are, some work pretty well but they still have limitations. Scenarios we drive in all the time befuddle cameras and sensors like fog and snow, if the came…

“every piece of tech is so simple even mouth breathers can use it without a problem”

...No. It’s dumb. And your “government ID” idea is absurd.

“This very relatable scenario—who hasn’t forgotten a password in their life?”

Dramatically increasing inconvenience for every tech user sounds like a great way to keep people from buying technology which would certainly limit theft.

Who are these random douche-nozzles walking down the street wearing Apple Vision Pros?

“Imagine buying a new $3,500 Apple Vision Pro headset”

And people like being slaves to Apple...I’m dumbfounded.

Bowser was the subject of a Department of Justice sting operation and spent over a year in jail, all for essentially adding some dongles to Nintendo Switches.

On the one hand, he fucked around and found out. You have to know that stealing from a multi-billion dollar worldwide corporation is not a good idea, unless you’re also a multi-billion dollar worldwide corporation which also has platoons of lawyers and a bottomless slush fund that will do its best to ensure that…

True...

Whelp, I guess that’s the first reason I’ve ever seen not to buy a Cybertruck.

Agreed. I suppose all of that panache and “move fast break things” had a place in the early days, but the company is moved beyond that now, at least for making cars. Had they dumped Musk years ago, or at least put a check against his dumber ideas like the cybertruck, they could have come out with a sensible pickup…

Quite. Considering Leto’s recent-ish track record, as much as I might have looked forward to another TRON movie, his presence in this one actually diminishes my interest considerably.
