I still think that it’s crazy that we can travel across the Atlantic in only 6 hours in a non-supersonic jet. 

Richard Branson wanted to buy one and revive the flights, but nothing came of it.

Tracks on fire. “Don’t worry it’ll hold.”

sometimes this can go wrong

How are you going to peel out of traffic then?

I feel like car makers are grossly overestimating the intelligence of the general populace.

Autopilot is a broad term, a subcomponent is autoland. A plane can takeoff, climb, execute routes (if programmed), descend and land for a half century. But yeah, when tolerances are bumped it auto disconnects with giant red flashy lights and terrifying sounds. Pretty damn annoying when you’re trying to catch a nap.

Pilots go to actual school to learn how to fly the plane and understand the functionality of autopilot. That isn’t analogous to drivers’ relationships with a new car. The question here is whether “autopilot” is sufficiently misleading for enough people. Intuitively, I think there are probably quite a few people out…

Haven’t you heard? Orange is the new black Tesla.

It’s a juicy question. I’ll bite...

I just dont understand the a peel of self driving cars. It all seems like so much navel gazing.

Wow, usually I use a screwdriver to mod my car...

or “Advanced Cruise Control”

Do you read all the ToS from all the software you purchase and use? There was a piece of software that promised the person who read the EULA $1,000 if they emailed the company. Approximately 3000 licenses were purchased and registered before the first person emailed and received that $1,000.

In before Tesla worshippers try to explain that “pilots know that autopilot doesn’t mean that planes fly themselves.” It’s a stupid name from a company known to over promise and under perform.

Driver assist would be far more accurate for what’s currently available.

We could probably squeeze a little more out of it.

Its the type of vehicle that runs right over the top of them because they were messing around with oranges instead of being alert to road conditions.

Man...has this joke been beaten to a pulp.

Orange you glad I don’t drive a Tesla?
