“Influences outside your control”. As an FSD programmer you can’t get around that, in the same way a software programmer has no way to prevent a power cut to the machine their software is working on.

Until it isn’t. One good lawsuit will solve that. You’d be a fool to believe otherwise. If a family’s three kids are killed to save the occupant of the car, they’ll sue, they’ll win, and the clause will be forced into effect.

A colleague of mine describes FSD in his model 3 as “Like an indecisive, skittish pony”. He’s regretting dropping the $10k on it.

I’m guessing closer to 6.5ft

It’s less than the 7ft posted:

For those who are having trouble understanding this, here : a regular Mercedes, scraping tyres on both sides and only just missing the poles. The actual restriction is narrower than the posted 7ft. The sloped kerb is what is causing everyone to hop-up and hit the poles. Turns out most cars are now using the bus lane…

This video might help you understand the problem - I sure as shit would use the bus lane instead:

Yeah I guess. I basically have no time for “celebs”.

Seems like it. I had the chance to drive one a few years back and it’s the most uncomfortable, hardest-to-drive vehicle I think I’ve ever sat in. 

Who even is this person?

Marcello Gandini clarifies that he has not participated in and does not approve the project, that he didn’t give his placet

Yeah - I know - don’t get me going on how that shitstorm is working out. I got to briefly speak to Max at a meet-and-greet in Zandvoort (where you get 60 seconds and a handshake) and he basically told me the drivers hate all the “forced social media crap” that Liberty has written into their contracts. He told me “it’s…

It’s not the speed. Speed doesn’t make it exciting. I was just pointing out that relatively, Indy cars are slow when compared to F1. Remember when they put an Indy car up against an F1 car at COTA two years ago? The Indy car was 14 seconds a lap slower. That’s glacial by F1 standards

Remember when they put an Indy car up against an F1 car at COTA two years ago? The Indy car was 14 seconds a lap slower. That’s glacial by F1 standards. 200mph on an oval means nothing on a non-oval. That was my point. Speed != excitement.

Not fast enough? Remember when they put an Indy car up against an F1 car at COTA two years ago? The Indy car was 14 seconds a lap slower. That’s glacial by F1 standards.

Hence my comment about why it won’t ever really be popular in the US because American audiences don’t have the patience for the long game. As you said - with little overtaking, Americans consider this to be boring. If overtaking is all you’re after, then sure, go watch Indy. But the cars are slow by comparison. Remembe…

Age: I’ve been attending races in-person since the mid 1980's. F1 is kinda sorta maybe becoming more popular in the US but I’m still on the fence as to whether the average US audience really truly accepts it.

Because that road was the ONLY POSSIBLE ROAD she could have taken to get little Aubrey or Phineas to school? For fuck’s sake - either get the little shit to walk the rest of the way, or - I don’t know - take another route? But no - get pissed off with a protestor and then try to murder them with your car. That’s…

So what will happen here is that Andretti will buy the team and parachute Herta in as a driver once he has his Super License. This will take a seat from one of the guys in the F1 young driver program and likely displace another driver at the same time. This won’t win the team any fans with the F1 crowd. Herta and the…

Back when it was funny, or sometime in the disaster zone of the last 20 years?
