How soon before a Neuralink is required to keep using those features? 

“Valentine is now facing four criminal charges – including burglary and receiving stolen property, according to the New York Post. He remains at Waukesha Country Jail on $50,000 bond. So far, Valentine is the only suspect who has been caught. The eight others remain on the loose.”

My son, who is a neuroscience student heading to med school, is freaking out about this. The words irresponsible idiocy have come out of his mouth more than once. Implants are coming, but Elon’s playing fast and loose with lives...

I’m sure it is just as well tested as Autopilot or FSD.

yet we can’t have cool actually proven safety items like the Volvo headlights mentioned in an earlier article today. But yeah, test that self driving shit on public roads with your beta testers you call customers. 

That Chevy should require a CDL to operate.

This is one of my biggest fears.

Another thing that shouldn’t be an issue, but will require Ferraris and Mitsubishi Mirages to be fitted with forward looking cameras and sensors. And so, the benefits of not buying an SUV are whittled away even further.

I hate when people say stuff like, “What is MTA doing about this?” What do you want them to do about it? Post signs everywhere stating sex on top of trains is prohibited? Install cameras on the roofs of trains so operators always have a live view of their trains on top of everything else? Put electrified, barbed wire…

In this case, the bark WAS worse than the bite.

Truck owners usually like to brag about what their truck can DO, like drive through a two foot deep stream in the woods not having shield it from routine weather.

Some Cybertruck owners say their fellow Cybertruckers are blowing things out of proportion, and one said it’s a good idea to not “...drive it in the rain, or get it wet.

This is a weird submission. Restoring an old car is always going to be ridiculously expensive. Especially if your goal is to only use factory parts. The reason for this program is to get the car back into the condition it needs to be in to be road legal again. Japan has very strict laws for vehicle road-worthiness,…

The only equitable solution is to increase (or for some states, implement) registration fees by vehicle weight. And it shouldn’t just be EVs. It is insane how many 6,000 lb trucks are being driven willy nilly around for no reason other than people want the equivalent of the new 60s luxo-barges. Every morning at my…

Almost exactly what happened to the Rivian in the Gif. The barrier looks fine (well other than whatever held it down broke loose), but the truck jumped over it like a stadium truck.

“And if someone wants to point out how heavy semis are and therefore the exponential damage they cause should mean no big deal about the EVs’ weight”

As I’ve harped on before, the sheer weight of all these goddamn heavy EVs is going to crunch asphalt and buckle bridges at a rate that’ll make you curse the damage they’ll do. The magic formula:

Rather poorly. Pretty much as though they aren’t even there.

That’s all assuming that people will actually use the power to pass slower moving traffic. In my experience, they will just ride the ass of the slow moving vehicle for endless miles, close enough to ensure anyone who wants to get by needs to pass at least 2 vehicles at once.
