This is a pretty good comment but I think we can trim it down.

As an old AND a person who has worked with electronics and sensors for 30 years, I would rather DRIVE MY FUCKING CAR and not rely on buggy equipment and software to do it for me

Having an “advanced driver assistance” system that is JUST good enough to drive the car right up until the moment it can’t is idiotic. Humans are not wired to work very well in that sort of situation.

That is what I was here to ask too. I think we all care more about it than anyone else in this story.

So how’s the dog?

This frankly goes to show the risks that the troopers are under in just normal duty. If they hadn’t done what they had done, this car would have plowed into potentially an occupied vehicle and caused further injuries. It’s not just violent criminals that threaten lives, but inattentive drivers.

I know this will seem politically incorrect and I will face the wrath of the entire US population — which, Hi Population! — but as a matter of principle I have to say, Yuan Fang sounds like a dumb douchebag.

Tesla gets the flak because people are overhyping the possibility of true self-driving cars. If a self-driving car can’t be trusted to not hit a humongous bright red fire engine, it clearly can’t be trusted for any hands-off operation at all.

Pretty sure Gruden is eventually going to go plaid.

It aint about brains son, its about HEART

He got the same grace period.

It’s a lot easier to do die at 47 when you are using a helmet that doesn’t protect your brain.

He got a grace period, the article is wrong. Last year was his grace period, just like Rodgers and Brady.

How we got to this point:

It’s a 0.8 mile ride in a car with 14 other people. Who would have sex in--oh, Vegas.

I disagree on both accounts because juiced balls and a bigger strike zone leads to fewer balls in play and balls in play are fun. The game is most exciting when fielders and hitters are running. Not when one guy is jogging around the base paths.

MLB won’t be happy until they get 5 hour ball games with scores like 25-24

I had a student who came to class late five times in one semester.  Each time, she had time to stop at Dunkin’ Donuts first.  She could not comprehend why that was wrong.  I would love to send her to boot camp.

No, we get that. The problem is that 100% of his realize “tunneling efficiency” to date comes from the fact that he’s building small scale tunnels not viable for the application he’s supposed to be moving towards.

Oh, maybe. Us cynics are still waiting for him to show any actual “technology advance” on the tunneling front. He’s just building small-unsafe-unsupportable tunnels, because he doesn’t know shit about actual tunneling.
