Just picked one close to my house, first one I picked, you can see the fire suppression nozzles all over the ceiling

Gas cars are notorious for catching ablaze, about 17 per hour in the US. But the only way you’re going to get everyone to get a fire extinguisher is if it’s mandated safety equipment. But then you have a potentially false sense of security if you don’t know how to use it properly or hurt yourself more trying to put it…

The motors in the electric pickup kick out around 600 hp, which is enough to get the massive truck from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.9 seconds. So this race should be pretty close, right?

And of course they used that as an opportunity to put in some misinformation about charging times (has anyone EV owner this decade spent a whole hour charging at a level 3 DSFC?).

My post was in response to @RandomUsername3246 who said:

They had 20 Cybercabs, and any pair of guests could get a ride to various locales on the large cityscape property. Real vehicles with no drivers you could touch and ride, not just renderings of them.

Regardless of whether the robot was remote controlled by a human or not...

Depends on the age of the vehicle. I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 and bought FSD in 2020. And after a parts waiting list, in 2021 they swapped out some sort of motherboard from inside my dashboard and that enabled it. The newer cars come with it just built in from the start.

Definitely an interesting car. It sort of reminds me of a Buick Grand National, fox body Shelby Mustang, and an 80s Chevy pickup combined

I’ve got a Fiat 500 Abarth and it is indeed a monster in a tiny package. The exhaust sounds that way in part because it literally has no muffler, it’s just a big empty void stock (in the US market anyway). My state inspection place questioned me on it and had to look up the specs to see.

Considering that you need to make over $300,000/yr as a married couple, $225,000/yr for head-of-household, or $150,000/yr if single, I’m not convinced that the buyer of a $39,000-$42,000ish car would typically exceed those numbers.

It’s likely this are. There isn’t a “gate” or anything. it’s just some sort of drainage ditch that probably had grass obstructing anything. Not somewhere I would want to walk anyway especially since there are paved roads all around, but if I were to walk through there I wouldn’t do it unless I was wearing boots.

Agreed. I’ve owned two Fiat 500s, currently have an Abarth. I also have 2 EVs in my household.

Google Map screenshot. I’ve circled in red where the two swivel gates are, and I suspect due to the context that green circle in the washed out dirt field is where the hole must have been.

Did we watch the same video? What more than the U-Turn did he do? Is it really that unusual to see a semi truck near a warehouse?

Agreed, not convincing enough that he was participating, and looked more like he was just doing a U-Turn and people started jumping on the back

Agreed. My commute is only 50 miles daily but I’ve let it run the entire thing without intervention before just to see if it could. Realistically I do take over sometimes, due to the same reasons as you, when it’s creeping around too slowly at a decision point and I’ve already verified we can make it.

I guess I’m not sure why it’s not considered Level 3. I think the key is the “When the feature requests, you must drive”. Meaning it’s driving except when there’s an edge case, and that’s when you take over, which is what it does present day. It hesitates with cross traffic especially with angles without great camera…
