when Trump’s term ends in January 2029.

The cliché response when any small plane runs into mechanical trouble in the sky is to land on a public road

Say it with me: full autonomy not possible except maybe on highways. Too many variables in urban/suburban setting for cameras to ID, then algorithms to assess real-time, then make the correct decision every time. I guess if society is willing to kill a non-trivial number of people to bring about “autonomy”, then put…

none of the 58 people onboard were injured as a result of the crash

Nope.

If you’re 31, you’ve been around long enough to know Tesla’s claims are FOS. To be so unaware that the presence of lights on a major highway doesn’t initiate the takeover of control tells me he was asleep (so does 4am). No effort, even last-second, to apply the brakes confirms that.

One Time cant drive a car or deploy a taser without breaking their back? WTF kind of cops are these?

That name is....fantastic. It goes Bible - Italian - Spanish - Mexican.  Almost daring people to guess his nationality/ethnicity.

said USPS should revert to its prior plan to buy 90% gas-powered vehicles, but not cancel the contract

even the changing tides of politics cannot stop the forward momentum

EV batteries have 90 percent capacity after 100,000 kilometers of driving, and at 300,000 kilometers they still have 87 percent of their original kilowatts left

Tom or Penelope?

Oh boy....change out “cars” for “real estate” (bitcoin? hookers?), change the date to 2029, and the location to Mara Lago, and let’s have this convo again.

At least he’s good on his word.

This is the bike traffic sitch in Amsterdam. To an fresh observer, it looks chaotic, polydirectional, and prone to many collisions. But to me as the cyclist, I can sense and predict and monitor many actions at once, and there simply are no collisions, as folks just know when/how to turn and stop.

I cant see them operating any of this where there exists snow and/or ice, just for the “lack of feel” aspect you described. Without being able to sense the slickness of the road (which changes often, and from road to road) a remote driver is either going to crash or be forced to drive at about 3 mph.

I cant understand how a car with 171K on the odey can have such a flawless interior. Owner had to be childless, never stepped in with muddy shoes, never ate/drank coffee while commuting...I mean the interior is stunning, which if a 7K miles barn find, I’d understand.  But not for a car that’s seen quite a bit of road…

Independent vehicles dependent on independent humans, dependent on getting paid by an independent non-auto company dependent on making autos that are independent.

car it was $15,000, but they threw in gap insurance, which brought the amount up to $20,000

You’d think Job #1 is cut/shave your hair. #2 is grow a beard. #3 is sunglasses and mask everywhere for the next 3 months. #4 is make it back to Hawaii, where no one could imagine you’re a NYC suspect. He appeared to do none of these.
