The following distance is adjustable. As I recall, the UI describes it as “car lengths,” and it defaults to “3.” Exactly how far that is seems to vary based on speed, so it leaves a bigger gap when it’s going 70 than it does when it’s going 40.  It’s pretty good about picking the following distance - of all the things

Autopilot: 4/5 stars

Judging by what I see during my daily commute, autopilot, despite all its flaws and shortcomings, is probably safer that 80% of human drivers on the road.

My experience after 45k miles with autopilot one is that it’s nice to have a second system backing you up and it does reduce fatigue on a long trip, making me feel a lot safer. Treat it like a teenager driving, it can do it, and it’s helpful but you’d better watch it.

But! It’s bad at communicating its own limits. If

I got as far as “Emma Watson turning 30" and got too distracted by my joints creaking to read any farther.

Forgotten Carlos Danger so soon? 

I liked both.

First they came for the footballs, and I did not speak out — because I didn’t care about the footballs.

Neutral: Haven’t you seen all the comments from people saying “I’ll never buy an EV until I can get 700 miles of charge in 15 minutes. I can refill my [random ICE vehicle] in 5 minutes and get 390 miles. I never pee. My bladder is the size of a yoga ball and when I go on all my 8,321 mile road trips, I store it in a

And splimter.

Just dropping by to say that the Jezebel staff and the Jezebel commentariat over the years have helped me become a much better person that I would be otherwise, and you’re all beyond awesome. Jezebel (and Gizspinniktu Clubroothacker) Forever!

Anyone else worried this is gonna be the last SNS?

I’m remembering Deadspin. 

My greatest Halloween faux paus was going to a party dressed up as a competent media executive and then pissing everyone off so much they all left.

It was probably the year I went as G/O Media, waited for people to start having interesting conversations, and then shoved an iPad in their face and played a completely unrelated video.

This one time I took a profitable sports blog, told it to completely change its already successful column subject writing strategy and managed to fire the editor in charge leading to all the writers quitting in solidarity, leaving it as a shell, and then banning all comments because I was afraid of criticism. What a

Once I purchased a successful, popular Halloween party, which was famous for the outre costumes the party goers frequently chose. Then I demanded that the party goers stick to only traditional Halloween costumes - vampires, witches, and ghosts ONLY. Then all of the cool, creative party goers left. However, I was also
