Voyager 1 finally calls home, drunk and broke. “Hey guys, sorry, my phone battery like must have died or something. Yeah, I had to borrow this old phone to call you. So like, can you send some money? I’ll give you an address. No, cash would be better, cause like uh, yeah, just send cash. I promise I’ll be home for the…

Agree with the light, but I have a Flare RT I also use on the rear. But I will never, ever get on a bike again without a radar. I even use it on my gravel where cars are few and far between, but they can appear in unlikely places.

Hmmm, I only got Chlamydia on my cruise.  

As someone who buys about thirteen gallons of gas a month, I have to point out that EV’s also lower the demand for gasoline, which helps keep the price down. Its like having mass transit helps those who never use it by lowering traffic congestion and decreasing the demand for parking...

tRump is an idiot and a traitor.  So is anyone that supports him.

I wish I shared your optimism. But most of the things you mention on your list of reasons not to worry aren’t rules, they’re just traditions. And as we saw last time, if you’re willing to just completely ignore traditions, you can cause a LOT of havoc.

You are assuming that a 2nd Trump presidency would play by conventional rules. The supreme court has given every indication that they will support and uphold whatever executive orders a Republican president wants to sign. They go into the rulings with their minds made up, and then go searching for the weakest…

That’s an insult to insanity.

It’s more than just the auto industry, though. Project 2025's environmental section is basically “let’s intentionally destroy as much nature as possible and purposefully make global warming worse.” Not even a “maximise shareholder value for a short while” kind of destruction, but “let’s commit environmental suicide”…

It wouldn't really matter what the organic being is in front of the car,  it's an object in the road.  1- why didn't the car recognize it and 2- why are we not discussing the inattentiveness of the driver in this scenario?

I think the proper thing is to brake, but not swerve.  I’ve never heard of “Just drive through it”.

Great excuse: “Hitting a deer is an edge case”.

That “pros” list is pretty weak.

Another brilliant move by Elon! He’s Disrupting disappointment!

I never understood the argument for 100% vision. I’ve heard people counter saying “humans are the best drivers and use 100% vision; it’s tested and works”. True, but humans also use other combined senses, and last I checked I can’t see in the dark or through a snow storm.

My wife grew up in rural Maine. Forget the deer, the moose were the real danger. She has really well defined “deer-dar” and will tell me she senses deer and sure enough, it normally isn’t long before you see the tiny bits of eyeshine in the woods.

Edge case? Are you f’ing kidding me? A deer is by FAR the most common animal you could hit which could ruin your day (and your car). It’s way more likely to be in a road than a human (even homeless ones pushing bikes in Arizona). I have contacted precisely one thing in my 30+ years of driving over nearly 1 million…

Living in a rural area, and it being late October, I would hardly call a deer in the road an edge case. I’ve probably seen as many of them driving this week as I have red lights.

The car did alert after hitting the deer, it just alerted RFK, Jr. to come pick up the carcass and dispose of it in Central Park. That’s the new protocol. 

I attended a livestock hauling course once and the instructor said deer on road, hit it, moose on road, swerve, I wonder if this Tesla was in this same course
