I have a Polestar 2 Performance and it’s a hoot to drive! It’s very quick, handling is off the charts crazy good, and even with the Ohlins dampers cranked up a little past halfway the ride isn’t too stiff. Though the traction control (even when “off”), AWD, and super sticky tires conspire to take all drifty,…

I hope he loses all material wealth, social status, and this finally can put a nail in his followers seeing exactly what became of their leader. Death would just make him the hero he claims to be.

When I was first introduced to this guy a while ago, and I remember thinking “sure this guy’s a scumbag, but it’s gotta be like 90% an act. No one can be like this all the time and function in society, let alone thrive materially.”

This makes me so sick on so many levels. But especially all the “why didn’t she go to the police!?!?!” hand-wringers when stories like this come out. Also, make sure people dismiss rape apologist trolls!

I hope someone sets this son of a bitch on fire.

A true level 4/5 system is probably going to require leveraging an ‘all of the above’ approach to paint a more complete picture of the surroundings. None of these systems (optical, lidar, ToF camera, radar, etc) seem sufficient on their own, for reasons you’ve already touched on.

Ha ha ha! Yeah! People sure do suck at driving, ha ha! We should just be able to put a brick on the accelerator and let the car shoot ahead! People are bad at steering, so surely there’s no difference! Ha ha ha, people sure suck so objects are automatically better.

Yep. My VW GTI has camera based automatic brake assist, and it doesn’t take a whole lot of active snowfall before it notifies me that the system is deactivated due to the camera not having a clear enough view. Stuff like that reinforces my agreement that Tesla is simply allowing a lot more risk with their automation…

THIS! People are mistaking hubris for competency.

Also, they removed radar and refuse to implement lidar because they’re “unnecessary”...not because they’re expensive, supply limited, or anything like that. Guess what systems don’t get completely rendered useless by white out conditions, downpours, fog, etc. My “dumb” adaptive cruise using radar can see in conditions…

Did you not watch the video?

People who’ve never driven in snow.

How the fuck is tesla legally allowed to call it “ Full Self Driving “ when it is provably not ??? 

I can’t handle that people still parrot the “neural nets” and related nonsense language. The Emperor really has no clothes here. It’s almost all 100% fabricated, in the sense that nothing Tesla has is any different that any other manufacturer’s adaptive cruise control system. There is no secret room at Tesla filled…

Oh, come on! I find it hard to believe something that can’t drive well when the weather is good would also be unable to drive well when it’s bad!

Titanic is a phenomenal TECHNICAL film, but the writing is awful and the story is tedious (and defamatory).

Hot or not, it’s the truth. Remove the special effects and you have a giant pile of tired garbage (which is true of all Cameron’s other recent work as well). The boat sinking is the only part that works, which makes me wonder what we needed that first 90 minutes for. Was I supposed to care about the incredibly…

In 2017, Cameron went back and forth with Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins after he made comments sexualizing the titular Wonder Woman, and extrapolating that women in Hollywood only know how to create “drama” films and not action.

I’m pretty sure this is a car that will be met with a solid dose of skepticism, but as someone who has been driving one of these for almost a year now as a daily: It’s a brilliant little car. It looks gorgeous (subjective, I know), it’s reasonably quick off the line, it rides really well, the interior is well put…
