Co-Pilot sounds like a horrible name because the Co-Pilot takes over so the pilot can get drunk and take a nap. Autopilot clearly just flys the plain in a straight line, but a co-pilot is a fully functioning pilot you can have do whatever you want. I think this name is worse, along with any hands-free named system…

People who buy a new gold are overcharged when buying new, people who bought a used beige car are overcharged when buying used.

He would get crushed in any debate club at a middle school. I guess when there is no jury he can just ramble on about whatever and think he’s got every vote in the world. I’ve got a children’s book about argumentation fallacies and he commits one every few minutes.

Yeah I think he likes the attention and just arguing with people. He seems to have zero care what your side is and only feels accomplished if he can prove someone else wrong or at least thinks he did in his own mind.

I gave up watching after 30 minutes. When Torch is trying to explain the problem with people not paying attention with Level 2, and does so perfectly, Warren’s response was ‘well a study showed its not really that big of a problem’ is basically saying, deaths caused by people not using Level 2 right are acceptable,…

If I had to summarize this guy, he’s worried that anyone who is doing anything that might risk or slow down Elon’s big plan is causing problems that will end the world. While he’s driving a VW instead of switching to an EV himself. Somehow a negative article just going over facts is so detrimental that you should just…

Wait, your saying I now have 5G? Nice!, I dont have to upgrade my phone anymore!

our neighbors to the south who handled the first part of the pandemic like a spastic shit-throwing-monkey

Considering I have a Tesla its expected of me to pay for FSD and then let my car go about its day and pick up strangers that will just ‘do stuff’ in the car while I make bank.

If the concept is 1KWH reduction per 1 minute, then a safety car would take away 45KWHs in 45 minutes, and the packs have 54KWHs, but they also still need to add one lap, and they still use energy just driving around even at slow speeds. So they are left with 9KWHs to do 45 minutes of driving slowly and a lap which is…

But there are thousands of counties, so some will figure it out and others can follow that example. Way better than trusting the Senate to do anything.

If it can guess the lines and keep going it will, but you are talking about when it does work, I am talking about what it does when it cannot work anymore. Just drive around and watch the little wheel icon come and go, it tells you when you cant engage it and there are obvious patterns. Its especially picky when you…

Being prepared for regulation change is good though. If you already have something that works and you just need to be ready to sell 10x as many in the next 2-3 years, that’s way better than having to pay fines because half your fleet cant make the new requirements and they just got refreshed.

This feels like a good thing to let states/counties/towns handle first and then see how it rolls out and then get on board nationally. I think the perfect starting point would be geofencing turnpikes where they know its not a construction zone, and where pull-off areas are, and how maintained it is, and if weather…

Thats a very different problem then when AP is no longer available. On a road where lines might vanish and AP cannot function anymore, it just gives up and turns off an you might end up in a ditch or a tree or pole or a stationary car. AP goes away all the time as slower speeds across intersections, or neighborhoods…

I just remembered the old riding mower from when I was a kid, we had a bungie cord to hold the seat down because a bump might make you bounce up and the engine would cut off, also we could then jump off to move something in our way. All of us kids had to mow the lawn as one of our chores, and none of us died because…

Agree completely with how this isnt ‘easy’. You can take your belt off while driving and put it behind you then engage AP, this just showed how they did it from a standstill since thats way safer than trying to do it while its in motion, but both are possible, and still way into the abuse of the system territory. 

This is a perfect chicken vs the egg article.

Don’t worry, every time we get a great hatch it gets taken away in the states.

Past problems shouldn’t let your rights be violated just because someone wants too. She might still be going through that trial and should still be considered innocent, or shes already out and done her sentence and should have all her rights back. If shes on parole thats different, but only during parole.
