I mean, unfortunately “probable cause” is ridiculously tenuous and subjective nowadays.
Most places, you can have your whole vehicle and person searched because the cop “smells marijuana”.

Seems to me Consumer Reports wildly overestimates the average human driver.

Probably not the most advisable way to Add Lightness, but it’s clearly working for him!

Followup question- where are the engine air intakes?
Did these have open grilles on the bottom, underneath the engine?

Woah there sparky, it’s not like locking a door for this necessitates HOLDING it locked.
The amount of time it takes for the passenger to manually unlock the door is more than enough time to avoid the detected collision.
Also, modern cars automatically lock their own doors while people are inside ALL THE TIME. In fact,…

You might be surprised about how good those blind-spot radars are, but that’s why I mentioned Tesla as the flagship for this sort of tech.

Also, it’d probably be best to have an auditory warning, like the “boopboopboop” that the Teslas do when they detect a possible collision.

Damn, you beat me by a few hours to this exact idea.

Hell, if the car was confident enough that a collision would happen if a door was opened, it could automatically lock the door until the obstacle clears.

Most modern cars already have parking sensors and radar for blind spot monitoring- why not leave those systems active for a short time after parking.

Ideally the header image on this article would be of actual CO2 emissions instead of mostly harmless water vapor from a cooling tower.

Hopefully, unlike clamorings about Peak Oil, they’re actually right about Peak Tesla.

It says the Skyline can’t be titled and can only be tracked... and, I mean- whatever?

I think you wildly overestimate the ground these rovers can cover.

gg, it’s a four door Honda CRZ.

This exactly- people wildly underestimate how wide the effects of gov’t shutdowns are.

There is almost certainly enough signal in the convention center for these cars to properly initialize. The fact that 7+ manufacturers are experiencing this problem on multiple vehicles each definitely means it isn’t some sort of failure to update.

I think there’s a fairly good chance this is a publicity stunt by some…

Is there possibly an autonomous car company intending to do a demostration, but wanting to use a LabSat for consistency and/or to set up specific conditions for the demonstration?

The ViralHog logo makes me irrationally angry and I don’t know why.

No one ever suggested poor people can’t be involved in solving the problem, we’re just suggesting that maybe punishing them for being poor isn’t a very bright way to go about it.

I agree that Americans have normalized to incredible amounts of laziness and waste, but if the conclusion you draw is that poor people just…

Hmm, I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’ve never experienced poverty.
