Or just include an actual spare wheel and not donuts.

Two things. First, in absolute terms any subset of a set of hundreds of millions of people that can be described as “the vast majority” is still a massive amount of people.

Until I can drive it 500+ miles, fill it up in <10 minutes, and drive another 500+ miles, I will keep the Mercedes I already have, thanks. Which doesn’t have more screens than your apartment, as a bonus.

Last year:

It’s the lawyers cashing in. Extorsion, blackmail; using the courts and juries to bleed some money. Mr. Public might get a coupon, the lawyers get millions.

Yeah, and why buy a gas stove right now either?

I don’t know why the headline is written the way it is: as if EVs aren’t the future.

There’s an almost perfect overlap between the people who say they would want to buy this and the people who also never buy new vehicles. The most basic trim 70 series is mid to high $80k in AUD - equivalent to high $50k in USD. Higher spec trims (which new car buyers in North America would absolutely want, the low…

If it’s such a concern, NHTSA should ban remote updates. What makes dealer service departments so hacker-proof?

Isn’t it the case that every writer has “trained their model” off of the hard work of the authors that came before them?

“They’re like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes.”

This was a case study in not letting people in the C suite make technology based decisions when they have no clue how said technology works. Anybody with basic coding experience could have told you that this would be a possible result.

I generally don’t just shitpost but here goes;

I don’t understand why anyone would go from the society destroying Twitter to a new social network created by the same guy that created the first thing and expect it not to have the same bad outcome.

It’s just nostalgia. The first move was also a flaming pile of too stupid for words garbage, but when you're 14, it's cool. It was never a good film. 

Is anyone else just tired of the way all the headlines around this imply something like “the invention of kissing” or “first kiss happened at this time” etc? It’s like: no, this is just the oldest exemplar of a record about it. It was almost certainly going on for thousands of years before.
