I get what you’re saying. You’ve not made anything unclear, you’ve actually been quite clear. You’re just wrong.

Here, your quote: So it’s not really my understanding of the system at all. I fully understand how the system works. In this case, the system failed. Why isn’t Tesla being help held* accountable here?

Is this a dick move? Yes 100%. But Hamilton’s done this before to Nico. And also fuck Lewis Hamilton. Ergo, I’m completely okay with this.

Haha what?! First of all your first sentence doesn’t make any sense. You should re-write that. There are words in there that don’t belong, or something. Secondly, that’s an impressive misread of my comments. I’ve neither said nor implied any of that. I’ve not even commented on the quality of the Tesla system at all.…

Nobody said you should be sorry, or that you’re wrong for your opinion. You’re welcome to have it. However your opinion is based on a complete misunderstanding of what an autopilot actually is and does, and is also wholly irrelevant.

What you think the system should and should not do is completely irrelevant. That is your opinion, and your opinion entirely. As others have pointed out to you, you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what an autopilot system actually is. What you think it should do is especially inconsequential in the face of the…

Nah, not really. The name is irrelevant. It clearly tells you what it is and what it can do and also clearly tells you that you still need to be in control. If you ignore all of that because of the name of the feature, you’re a goddamn moron and you’re at fault.

The real problem is that it’s a live public beta with…

The driver is in control of their awareness at all times, and regardless of the features of the automobile they are responsible for their behavior. This includes their attention and awareness. The driver bears all blame.

“Autopilot made me do it.” Nice try, but wrong.

The DRIVER failure is what resulted in death. Nothing more.

How do you figure Therrien won out? He got a worse defenseman (still good, but not like PK) and a worse contract where they have to pay a guy until he’s 39!

Can someone be both a nerd AND a bitch? For some reason I kind of feel like you can’t be both, but maybe you can. They just seem like they’re mutually exclusive to me. Thoughts?

I think arguing that Klinsmann is responsible for the US being uncompetitive against Argentina is asinine.

...what about a sandwich?

So much this.

Yes but do we have any in-car of laps around this place yet? I can’t seem to find anything.

Yeah that’s solid advice. The issue is that (I can’t think of how to describe this well, so forgive me) the gas pedal is closer to the firewall than the brake pedal is. So there’s no real way for me to touch both at the same time without stomping on the brakes to get the pedals at the same “elevation”.

I have a 2010 Mazda 3 hatch, and outside of oil changes and tires, I’ve not had to do anything to my car. It’s in great shape. I don’t drive it consistently hard, but I’m not exactly easy on her. I’m amazed at how little maintenance it has required. Over the course of the ~6.5 years I’ve owned it I estimate (without…

Did you have to re-align your pedals to allow this? I blip the gas on downshifts to rev-match, but only when I don’t also need to be braking. My pedals are not lined up properly for me to be able to actually do this. I either stomp on the brake while trying to the other half of my foot to blip the gas, or let off the…

As a Boston Bruins fan, I fucking hate Jeremy Jacobs.
