Waymo operates in SF and PHX. 911 response times are 13 minutes and 8 minutes in those cities. I think 15 minutes is perfectly reasonable.

It’s not really that Tesla’s piece of the pie is shrinking, but rather the pie is growing. EVs as a whole are gaining market share against ICE, which is the real battle to fight. It was never Tesla’s goal to achieve 100% EV market share, but to create an environment where a rising tide lifts all boats.

I was very close to buying one with the price cuts. But fuck Elon Musk. I’m not giving that clown a penny, and don’t want a car so closely associated with him.

It sounds like that was done, but it was done with an incorrect assumption of how the planes would be rotated at the gates. I’m sure someone even got a bonus for playing around with the model and finding a way to fit the planes at a smaller building. But the mechanics of taxiing a wide body jet up to a terminal are…

It’s a rare, and nice feeling, to say “well I really prefer candidate A but I think candidate B will do a swell job on most things, too.”

Well, yeah. Look at all the recalls they’ve been doing.

Even I fall into that trap sometimes.

Yup.

Democratic legislators need to realize there is no room for niceties any more.

If people didn’t learn from RBG, then we’re fucked.

Yes, she’ll likely not be rich after divorcing him. That she isn’t divorcing him means she values being rich more than not being married to a rapist.

This shouldn’t be overlooked, but in the overall scheme of things cars don’t weigh much. Live load designs for a parking garage are really low compared to just about any other space. If you wanted to really mess up a parking garage throw a concert inside and get everyone jumping at the same time. You’ll easily be 4 to…

“We have height restrictions in car parks, why not weight,” he said.

I’m pretty sure mass shootings have occurred before social media, but go off Professor. It’s weird you’re blaming “liberals” when you also say gun laws won’t do shit. Who is asking for them then, conservatives? Then you say, “it is what it is,” resigning yourself to accepting mass violence, offering nothing to the…

400K?

What do you mean by “now”? Barry Goldwater predicted this would happen back in ‘81
