LIDAR is for pedo guys.

This is the most accurate description of Teslas FSD yet 

You know what would help with that? LIDAR. Oh wait...

1) self-driving is pretty good at most things, except edge cases, and 2) almost everything is edge cases.

Tesla: selling something called “full self driving.”

Ok, bear with me. I’m going to recommend a boring car. But for a reason.

Yep.

Like many others, my dad is a “car guy.” He was a hot-rodder in the 60s and when his parents gave him some money to get started after college he spent it all on a brand new 1969 Corvette 427 (which he still owns today).

This is my mom to a T (except being British). Her daily driver for 10 years was an Integra GS-R. She loved that car and would snake through Vancouver rush hour like Emmerson Fittipaldi (about whom she once told my dad “If Emmerson shows up at the door in a pair of boxers, I’m leaving you”). She’d grown up driving a…

I was born a car enthusiast. I’m not even joking. Neither of my parents are car people, though at four years old I stumbled upon a NASCAR race on TV and I ended up watching it with my dad, who in turn became a Jeff Gordan fan. I guess I turned him into a car guy. My parents are divorced, absolutely hate each other,…

Mostly my dad, but not in the way you would think. We always had Ford station wagons when I was young. The one I remember most (and still dream about, oddly enough) was a 1972 Ford ranch Wagon with the police package. Black on dark blue.

That’s great. It’s also cloudy and cool where I live today, so global warming doesn’t exist! See, isn’t using a single personal anecdote so much more fun than looking at actual data?

There’s tons of 30+ year-old movies I haven’t watched. Hell, I never watched the Lord of the Rings trilogy (not my genre).

HOT TAKE (/s): the sooner the harley chuds die off the better, and harley will finally go tits up. and that’s overweight cos-playing male dentist man-tits.

Ya, but the Harley brand “image” is slowly dying off. I mean how many youths today would be caught dead wearing leather vests and sporting those - sometimes that look a lot like the WW2 Nazi - helmets? Sure some few hundred thousand folks still go to Sturgis, but that’s about their entire customer/fan base.

I think that CR’s biggest issue with Tesla is how the technology is presented and framed (aka marketing) to the consumer. Worse, they are calling out Tesla for making their customers into beta-testers. It isn’t the EV part and even when CR called Tesla out over quality (again, they also take in the price-point), it is…

They have an ECU. That’s pretty much it on smaller commuter bikes, more expensive and heavier ones would have chips for touchscreen/radio/digital gauges, but it pales in comparison to cars.

came home and watched Terminator 2: Judgment Day for the first time. Hot damn, that movie kicks ass.

3400 hour Flight Instructor, here...One hell of a job in my opinion. Bear in mind that this guy is a student pilot, and he only has about 2,000 feet of altitude. Not really much time to pull out a written check list, when you are low, task saturated, and gliding. His primary job is to “fly the airplane”, and maintain…

Great thing about the Bible is that with a little judicious cherry-picking you can justify just about anything with.
