🤓☝️.

The beard dye and tactical office chair market will never recover.

If you're worried about the veracity of the claims, I can assure you they're true.

Bethesda should make Fallout Tactics canonical. That's right, I said it.

I don't know what they call themselves, but the opposition is anal retentive.

Yes, you need to push back on those people. They're the type that get high on code golf and end up writing unmaintainable one-liners measured in kilobytes for fun.

The NHSTA hasn't issued rules for these things either.

the U.S. gov has issued general guidelines for the technology/industry here:

https://www.transportation.gov/av/4

They have an article on it discussing levels of automation here:

https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/automated-vehicles-safety

By all definitions layed out in that article:

BlueCruise, Super Cruise, Mercedes' thing is a lvl3 system ( you must be alert to reengage when the conditions for their operation no longer apply )

Tesla's FSD is a lvl 3 system (the system will warn you when you must reengage for any reason)

Waymo and Cruise are a lvl 4 system (geolocked)

Lvl 5 systems don't exist.

What we don't have is any kind of federal laws:

https://www.ncsl.org/transportation/autonomous-vehicles

Separated into two sections – voluntary guidance and technical assistance to states – the new guidance focuses on SAE international levels of automation 3-5, clarifies that entities do not need to wait to test or deploy their ADS, revises design elements from the safety self-assessment, aligns federal guidance with the latest developments and terminology, and clarifies the role of federal and state governments.

The guidance reinforces the voluntary nature of the guidelines and does not come with a compliance requirement or enforcement mechanism.

(emphasis mine)

The U.S. has operated on a "states are laboratories for laws" principal since its founding. The current situation is in line with that principle.

These are not my opinions, these are all facts.

I'm saying larger sample size == larger numbers.

Tesla announced 300 million miles on FSD v12 in just the last month.

https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/2001/tesla-on-fsd-close-to-license-deal-with-major-automaker-announces-miles-driven-on-fsd-v12

Geographically, that's all over the U.S, not just in hyper specific metro areas or stretches of road.

The sample size is orders of magnitude bigger than everyone else, by almost every metric.

If you include the most basic autopilot, Tesla surpassed 1 billion miles in 2018.

These are not opinions, just facts. Take them into account when you decide to interpret the opinion of others.

No one else has the same capability in as wide a geographic range. Waymo, Cruise, Blue Cruise, Mercedes, etc are all geolocked to certain areas or certain stretches of road.

So Neptune has a rogue rock in its orbit that also orbits the sun and we're just gonna give Neptune a pass on that one because we saw it first.

At best, this is size discrimination, and neptunotism, and we both know it!

Talk of the Tik Tok ban predates the attack that triggered the current iteration of violence in Israel/Gaza.

The logo kinda makes sense for the alcohol free version:

The only way this makes sense is as a punitive measure against foreign landlords, where the tenant (as the tax payer) gets some measure of ownership over the property, which doesn't seem to be the case.

well, capless in this case, but no, he's quite wealthy by wasteland standards.

Yeah, most infotainment systems hide their memory leaks behind the fact that when you turn the car off, you reset the computer. Not so in an always on EV.

No, not at all. I said everything sold during the pandemic, and because that was evident to manufacturers, they started putting their limited chip supply towards things with higher profit margins, like luxury cars, PHEV's and EV's.

Well you said "during the pandemic". That was the context for my response, I never said anything about after.

Fuck I hope musk gets canned over this. I know the chances are near nill, but hey, a human can hope.

That's mostly because used cars cost as much as new cars, and new cars were hard to come by thanks to chip shortages, so if you wanted a car you got what you could get. Everything sold during the pandemic.
