Counterpoint: our growing addiction Amazon Prime-type levels of service.

They can if they plan on selling it for another 12 years.

Something something driver’s front 1.5 psi low, yaddah yaddah “why did you turn?!”...

“Recalculating. Please turn left onto Washington Blvd.”

I might actually favor Forza, in terms of lower likelihood of AI failure? They’ve been doing it longer, there’s a decent chance they’re a bigger team, and they have full access to the physics engine and game data rather than an inherently limited suite of sensors. Merging the control system with actual hardware has to…

Well Amazon surely didn’t plow $700 million dollars into their deal with Rivian for no reason.  Those vans are coming.

That’s my thought. I’ve never met a driving sim AI that I would allow out into the real world track environment, even in a 100% controlled environment where they couldn’t cause harm to people.

As someone who works for a commercial electrical contractor that has distribution centers make up a fairly large chunk of it’s backlog, I can tell you, this EV van shit is real and its coming fast. That One Big E-Commerce Supplier That I Cannot Name But You Sure As Shit Know Who It Is has been sending out plans for…
