How many people does Tesla's "auto Pilot" needs to kill before tech bros realize hasting this isn't gonna work?

You could only really have automated trucks if the roads used were prepared for that - and even then you'd have issues with edge-cases.

Trains anyone?

nobody should fuck around with GPS

The problem being that GPS is American and thus has political and military "features". Maybe Galileo will step up as i see GLONASS and Beidou suffering from the same issues.

And this is news... somehow.

Microsoft products would like a chat...

Didn't RTFM...

The Chinese one is Beidou and I fail to understand why planes use only GPS when my phone has all 4.

Reading mail while using autopilot?

That's a convoluted way of describing what I did, guess... I only read the article after my first comment, yes.

Darwin Award runner-up.

Answer to self:

I usually check my emails while on my autopilot commute to work

But was the car on autopilot?

'Cos that tactic is Microsoft™.

Then again the Russian Federation is a fascist state run by oligarchs, so not that much different from the fascist state run by billionaire CEOs that the US is...

So Putin's regime embraced, extended and extinguished it? How ironic...

I'd say that's a day in the life of a sysadmin, no?

Digital karma.

Debian already uses systemd.

Gentoo, Slackware and Devuan can be used without svchost for linux.

They'll only stop when they rebrand it to systemd OS.

Behind-the-screen fingerprint scanners are an abomination.

Always reminds me of 1984's telescreens. We're almost there.

I think Tesla should rename Auto Pilot to Darwin Award Mode.

And improve motorcycle detection as well as use LIDAR.

So it seems, but aren't electric motors way smaller? Heck Ryan F9 fits inside a truck's engine space (but i'm trying to make a point for any vehicle, yes).
