Garland has been an unbelievable disappointment.

To be perfectly Frank, if it were me, I’d say, “Appointed for LIFE! What are ya gonna do, fire me? You can eat me, that’s what you can do!"

I admire your optimism, but nah. It ain’t gonna happen.

And another question : is this vulnerability relative to the passive RFID keycard, the active bluetooth key-on-the-phone, or the (active I suppose? Ain’t go any) key fob?

the researchers were able to open, start and steal the car from as much as 15 feet away from the proper keys.

It’s one of those complicated things. Was the reason why corn took over is because of the food and health policies from the Bush administration? Corn is subsidized at 9.5 Billion compared to Sugar Cane at 4 billion, but the sugars in it are worse for you than actual cane sugar. But I mean if we’re going that far,…

I think the bigger issue is that every Tesla has GPS tracking. You aren’t getting very far.

There’s a lot more to “environment” than solely emissions (though some sources say Ethanol production emissions are worse than petrochemical), including chemical runoff, monoculture soil depletion, and biome destruction. 

Everyone should do themselves a favour and try a Mexican-made Coke.  It’s made with cane sugar and is so much better than the American crap.  You’ll curse the corn lobby for ruining sodas.

Well, he was paying *some* attention. Just much later than he should have been.

I think they refer to it as ‘Full Self-Driving (Supervised)‘ these days. Which is a confusing, pointless name. My family car in the 90s had ‘full self-driving’ as long as my parents supervised (ie. drove) it...

Yeah I mean I hate to agree with Tesla, but the driver was paying NO attention at all, if there are interior cameras I would 100% bet their head was buried in their phone. I wouldn’t trust FSD on a good day, but less a quite foggy one like in the video.

Impressive. Both in “FSD”’s inability to see the crossing with a train in it AND the driver’s failure to take control in a timely manner as explicitly required by “FSD”. Two wrongs making a much bigger wrong.

Thank you for asking for more context and nuance in a science-and-technology article. There are a couple people around here who will jump down your throat for even the slightest appearance of support for Elon Musk, but that’s just noise — we should be able to have adult conversations about these things instead of just…

I keep seeing reference to this being a safety risk, but no where is it said what those risks are. At face level it appears to be a performance risk, but appears to pose little or limited health/safety risk to the patient.

He’s part of an engineering firm that’s centered on making vehicles as cheap to manufacture as possible. What too few people understand is that this is often at odds with ease of maintenance. This man hates bolts/screws with a passion.

You think that’s slow, you should’ve checked out the basic ‘82 Camaro. It came with an Iron Duke 2.5 liter four with your choice of either a 5-speed manual or (I believe) a 3-speed automatic.

Surely this will make cars more afforable.

This is not directed at you Brad - just a comment on the backwards thinking of lawmakers.

I know for some reason we ain’t wild about Teslas here but for being roughly 150K less expensive and at a 380lb ft deficit in power, losing by a third of a second seems.......pretty insignificant?
