The AP says, “Where the audio recording of the interview is unclear...” I’m no Trump fan, but that’s an important distinction. Is there evidence that the recording itself wasn’t to blame?

I fully expected “Gene” to be “Gene Roddenberry.” Not sure whether to be pleased or disappointed they avoided the easily-anticipated Twilight-Zone-style twist.
I hope it was intentional that the GotG commercial spelled “whole” without the “w”: “Welcome to a hole new adventure.”
Looking at the video, it’s clear that everything worked as intended here, *except* the pedestrian is looking the wrong way. They look over their shoulder to the right (behind them) as they walk through the path that is specifically designed to get them to look ahead, to where the train comes from. Then as they prepare…
The weird part is how that doesn’t work with Beth’s age. If she’s a 10-year-old then, she would be just 29 now, which doesn’t leave enough time to have Summer. Even if Beth were 17 then, she would be just 36 now, which barely works.
Snitches get stitches.
I didn’t say it was justification, or that it was consistent with anything — by this logic, Superman should be running around stark naked, daring villains to embarrass themselves by kicking him in the crotch and breaking their feet.
The only positive take I can come up with is to say that she’s the only one who doesn’t *need* armor.
I’m drawing a blank on whether The Americans has actually done it, but they made clear in one episode that both the husband and the wife were trained to seduce anyone of any gender, age, or appearance.

I’m guessing Kong with get a size upgrade to not look small compared to Godzilla. But setting that aside, Kong moves *much* faster than Godzilla does. Even if Kong were half Godzilla’s height, I’d put my money on the small guy:
The drivers ahead of the Tesla had a different task. They were already actively guiding their cars, so the challenge for them is just a somewhat greater adjustment than they were *already* continuously making. They knew they needed to do something different the moment they saw the lane shift ahead of them.
The burden is different, as I’ve said repeatedly but several people either don’t understand or refuse to acknowledge. There is a difference between these two things:
Yeah, saying it isn’t his fault is a poor way of expressing my real point, which is that this happened too fast for a human to react and avoid it. My reaction was to the first lines of the article, implying that the driver wasn’t paying attention.
I think your analogy would be better if you were talking about pitchers when the batter sends a line drive right back at them. They have a fraction of a second to react, and sometimes they make brilliant catches, and sometimes they get beaned.
I never said the driver “let” the car run into the barrier. I’m saying that being caught off guard, there wasn’t enough time to react. In the gif above, it looks to me like the driver has less than half a second to notice and react. That’s nowhere near enough time.
Sure, the truck driver is driving. Every instant, he/she is expecting to have to take action. The Tesla driver’s default action is to do nothing and let the autopilot drive. As I replied to someone else, this is like the difference between playing catch with someone, and someone throwing a ball at your head and…
Sure — I don’t own a Tesla, and I don’t know what their agreement states. I’m simply saying that if the article’s title is going to be “Don’t Use Tesla’s Autopilot Like This,” then the first line of the article should be, “Tesla’s user agreement says not to use autopilot in a construction zone, and this is why.” A…
The whole point of autopilot is that, even if your hands are on the wheel and you are alertly watching the road, 99.99% of the time, you let the car do what it does, without interference. An alert human without autopilot is driving the car.
