Autopilot does not mean autonomous, we’ve been over this many times already. Autopilot does mean advanced cruise control. It’s what airplanes have had for decades. An airplane with autopilot is not the same thing as an autonomous airplane, just like a car with Autopilot is not the same thing as an autonomous car.

That headline makes it sound as though the Feds are laying blame on Tesla (as in, they knew, but didn’t do anything), when in fact they acknowledged that Tesla did some due diligence to avoid/mitigate foreseeable issues. So maybe a bit hyperbolic/clickbaity on the headline there?

I looked up this reference on jokeexplainerbot.com. The song is about a real girl who said “I don’t like Mondays” when asked why she shot 11 people. A review of basketball-reference.com reveals that Emmanuel Mudiay’s career field goal percentage is 36.9%. The commenter appears to be implying that if Mudiay had been…

I imagine the moment they confirmed he was Ricky Williams they realized the dash video would likely come out, so they spent the rest of the interaction trying to retroactively justify themselves to the video camera by making up all these excuses about why they had to stop him

If you think this true, then we need to re-evaluate probable cause.

If that were the case someone would have mentioned smelling Marijuana. Might be hard for some people to accept but it is exactly what it looks like. Walking while black.

It’s not fucked up, actually. You get used to it as a black guy. The best thing to do is just stand there and let it peter out. If you’re not a clueless black guy (like Ben Carson), you know how to avoid this better each time it happens. Me personally, I don’t make eye contact with white people unless I know them if I…

Reporter: What did you think of Emmanuel’s antics?

What was it Robert Frost said? “Good fences make good neighbors unless your neighbor is black in which case fuck that guy,” I think it was.

If you took all the race descriptors away, no one would have lied about him being in anyone’s yard.

The problem is that it does nothing to address the problem: racial profiling by his police force.

It’s almost the very definition of the “empty gesture”

You’re underselling the “famous one” part.

Or, and I’m just thinking out loud here...what if they spent some money to train their police officers to stop harassing people weren’t a threat to anyone? I know it’s a crazy concept, but I think it just might work.

A step in the right direction? He didn’t want to get invited to the mayors house...he wanted to not be harassed by police for walking outside.

That poor man, I hope he’s okay. What an ordeal — I mean, there was a black guy right by his fence!

he decided to go for a walk in the woods near his hotel to kill time.

He also invited Williams to stay at his house

That presumes the movie is going to make money.
