I could see these being awesome in relatively narrow use cases; things like parking garages. Outside in most of America (well, the world really) it seems like the elements would really shorten the life of these. Add in snow plow risks in ~half the US and suddenly these don’t seem great.

15% wrong is 3 in 20, not 1 in 30.  However, McD’s with human order takers has had a worse rate for me in the past year - primarily centered around Bacon Quarter Pounders, which I have yet to receive bacon on.  So I stopped ordering them.

Corporate death penalty. If corporations want to be people, this is the next step, yeah? This is a corporation that has recklessly and maliciously pursued profits at the known cost of people’s (actual people’s) lives. Time to shutter Boeing, bring criminal charges against the C-suite executives and let some other…

85% order accuracy is pretty damn awful. Would you fly an airline that has a screw up on 85% of its flights? Would you go to a doctor that messes up that often? Would you do business with any company that drops the ball once in every 30 transactions?

It’s almost like all of this AI is not actually able to do the things they claim it can, and may never actually be able to, and shouldn’t actually be replacing people in any capacity until it can actually do the things the hype claims it can.

I installed a hitch on my Model 3. Since mine was an earlier build, it didn’t have the little removable panel to access the hitch in the rear under-tray.

That’s the point though, isn’t it? Warranty work is paid for by Tesla. Out of warranty work is paid for by the customer. Shoddy workmanship + warranty denials + captive customer base = profit.

Yes, they can. The FAA can revoke type certificates, and they can order groundings, which doesn’t halt production but it does mean they cannot legally fly the aircraft within US airspace, which makes deliveries effectively impossible.

I was aware of him before this but I just gotta say, Willy T. Ribbs is the BLACKEST name I’ve ever heard in my life. 

Seriously. At this point, my first thought was, “Can we please get this guy some protection? Before he ‘commits suicide’?”

That is how it works, so the managers know which “disloyal” voice to fire. It is never about fixing errors, it is about silencing those who point errors out. 

“the report was eventually routed to the same managers he had complained about.”

Evergreen at this point:

Good inflight service too.

The information comes from a June 11 complaint by Boeing inspector Sam Mohawk

Mohawk claims that he tried to elevate the concerns through Boeing’s internal reporting program called “Speak Up,” but that the report was eventually routed to the same managers he had complained about.

I know Boeing is like this, and I’m sure airbus has some skeletons as well, that’s why from now on I’m only flying via butterfly, 100,000,000 butterflies attached with thread woven together at the bottom into a hammock.

So what’s interesting, is that Hoovie brought his Cybertruck to the Car Wizard and they did a bit of a tear down of it. And at about 15 minutes into the video, CW did find that washer fluid and water would be entering the area below the windshield since the part that holds the washer arm wasn’t sealed well enough to…
