The whole selling point of autonomous cars is that one day, hypothetically, they’ll be safer than humans because they won’t get tired or lazy or lax with the rules.  “No u-turn” signs might seem arbitrary sometimes, but there’s usually a reason they’re there.  Teslas ignoring those signs and then having to back into…

Yes? 100% it does.

I don’t think I will read anything better than mask-off fascist dipshit on a car site today.

So by his logic, if you buy a car today for $50k and only drive 10 miles, you should be super-pissed off that you’re paying $5k per mile to drive!

So to recap, you have to hold this button, watch the car as it moves and look at the tiny camera feeds for the slightest sign of trouble, and with all of that the car is likely going at a brisk walking pace at best.

I am the farthest thing from “acab”, but where the FUCK are the cops when this is happening? I’ve been to LA and Oakland, there seem to be cops everywhere until this nonsense is going down. Block the streets and arrest them ALL.

“Even when I was a little boy at 4 years old my mother would say, ‘You love trucks,’” Trump continued. “I do. I always loved trucks.”

The ignorance from Ray. Cant imagine a “blue guy” driving a Scout? Open your eyes, guy, and try to actually view the world around you.

Is there actual, peer-reviewed data that concludes signing along with the radio is visually distracting? IANADr, but I know that audio and visual areas of the brain are quite different and utilize very different sensory inputs. Instead, it would seem that singing along minimizes day-dreaming/boredom, something that…

If you’re dumb enough to give Musk your money, I have zero sympathy for you.

All comments on EVs on here usually fall down on “my commute is 9 hours each way and I cross two international borders” ignoring how rare their extreme commute is vs. average commute is something like 9 miles.

That wasn’t your original point, that’s just what you decided to talk about instead now.

This is a non-starter for me. I need to regularly haul my camper, boat and 3 ATVs uphill through the Rockies 1200 miles each way twice a day.

“However, if the owners can’t be located, officers obtain search warrants and tow the EVs into evidence.”

It reminds me of this line from Wrongfully Accused:

Sure. That’s what they say. Was it a pinky swear? 

Everyone loves to make fun of “protecting the local wetlands” until their neighborhood floods.

Right, but that would probably have come up if he’d, you know, filled out the proper paperwork in the first place.

Or just get the damn permits

It’s easy to demonize the neighbors as petty or whiny, but maybe people are getting tired of the wealthy not following the rules that they were taught to follow?

Guy spent $100,000 on a vanity project for his kid and purposely avoided the government because he didn’t feel like he should pay the government a few hundred…
