Sorry, self driving is *not* ready for the real world. it *can* handle SoCal perfect conditions...sometimes. well documented cases of people videoing a literal orange cone befuddling Waymos such that a physical driver has to be dispatched to get it around things. There are reports that waymo has drivers who literally…

SpaceX who utterly failed on their first 3 launches only to succeed on the fourth...is not perhaps the best testament to ‘quality’

FTFY

Literally 14 cars and a parking lot. You can’t simulate that in a test?

Coming back? It’s a toll road. You get on, you get off.

Airport gas stations are well known for being jacked.   rental drivers have to fill up before returning so they charge enough to make it *just* cheaper than the rental fill up fee.

Climax, MI....but you have to get off I-69 for the last few miles

Even so, it’s still amazing we’re continuing to allow real world testing before rigorous and documented closed course testing of said conditions.

Mile marker 100 to 200 took you 60 minutes.

yeah someone once said:

Another tip, any tolled road knows *exactly* how fast you got from point to point. NYS Thruway said they never actually enforced it that way I think.

the back looks like they cinched that red waist belt 3 sizes too tight.

As an owner of 2 13+ yr old cars, I just hope they can last long enough for this digital everything sans physical controls to die.  I see a couple of knobs but not nearly anything else physical.

Every EV maker except Tesla is showing *increased* sales so yes people want them.

Sadly here to stay it seems

Stellantis: Figured it out! We underpriced it and our upscale buyers don’t like cheap stuff. Raise prices!

Spouse is Canadian so we probably get a *slight* edge at the border  ;-)

Editors:  This writer needs to go.   Attempts at ‘Edgy’ are just sad.
