Counterpoint: read the actual article.

This goes way beyond shipping costs. This whole thing has opened up the eyes of companies to the consequences of adopting lean without mitigating against the bullwhip effect. This is what I’m always on about utilization rates. High utilization = high efficiency, but also extremely low disruption tolerance. Your…

Have you ever seen a truck fender shredded by a blown tire? Slashing a truck tire sounds like an ideal way to lose your hand up to your elbow.

You clearly didn’t read anything did you. Quick to type out a comment though! If you did read anything you’d realize the whole point of these women’s actions is that these truckers were going in a circle and kept ending back up on her street, blaring their failures out. She and her friends finally went out and stopped…

Commuter transport is always going to be like that though. Outside of the rush hours not many will be on board, but you still have to provide for those rush hours.

Apparently the drivers creating blockades don’t like being blockaded? Who’d have thought?

wat?

Yes. Because an airplane that holds maybe 30 people (quoted number is 20 - 40) is totally the same as a high-speed rail commuter train that holds a couple hundred people. The cost of a “commuter airplane” ticket will be absolutely in line with a commuter rail ticket.

Like this?

I understand it’s a proof-of-concept, but this is not a commuter airplane. It carries less than 10 people, which is much less than many of the typical CRJs, so unsure how this could be profitable for an airline or service.

If these people had half a brain they’d realize FSD is a pipe dream. It’s not possible. Yes humans make mistakes but are still leagues above any computerized self-driving tech out there because with proper training and years of experience, human interpretation of situations is unmatched.

I’ve seen it said by an AI expert and I agree - AI is not getting better, it’s just stupid faster.

I love the suggestion that a user of a “full self driving” system _can_ do it wrong... So the driver gets all the responsibility, none of the control.  This is the definition of frustration.

You kinda have to be baptized into the Church of Elon if you’re going to spend an entire lightly used Mitsubishi Mirage in order to get a feature that may exist, potentially, at some point.

Those people aren’t spending $10-12k for the FSD promise.

Obligatory

From watching the vid and watching the screen, you can tell that the car “sees” the things it’s attempting to crash into. And yet, it continues right at them anyway (or tries to pass the one car likely because there was no or insufficient dividing lines, which is super common in cities). This is…almost worse than the…

If you actually read all the ‘negative’ articles about Tesla on Jalopnik, you’ll note that almost all of them are caveated with positive statements about the vehicles engineering, capabilities and the impact of Tesla on the broader automotive market. But they don’t spend 12 paragraphs repeating that because there’s…

In all seriousness, I’m wondering how far away the class-action lawsuit is, from everyone who paid Tesla $10k or $12k for FSD.

I mean there is no point of even reading any article from Jalopnik that has Tesla in the name
