I thought the entire point of autonomous vehicles was so that we could use the drive time for other activity or inactivity.
Otherwise, just let me drive.

It's not autonomous. It's a Driver Assistance feature.

The highest level FSD package, which is another buy-in beta program, is only level 2 autonomy and requires your attention at all times.

Do the algorithms the Tesla uses do the same? I don't know. Just asking.

They enabled it in April this year after rejecting it for at least half a decade. It's an okay system, certainly not infallible. Good luck when the driver is wearing sunglasses or have photochromatic eyeglasses.

Making sure a driver is paying attention is relatively simple and implemented in commercially available Driver Monitoring software stacks. They use Driver Eye Tracking and remote sensor logging.

Ahh you answered. Yes that's the culture around it all, and it's not healthy. We've seen it it micro before in aircraft like the Icon A5. It was shown off as very sporty, but it's really overweight and underpowered for its class and you should absolutely not do what it does in the marketing. A lot of expert builders predicted a high crash rate and were proved right. They had 5 major accidents in just 2019 and they've only made 100 total.

Excuse TF out of me, but ...
... isn't that the intent?

That's the problem. No. As the operator of the vehicle your attention to its operation is required at all times. Serious question, what gave you the idea it was supposed to be? Youtubers sleeping in the back while driving? The hype around the brand? Owner word of mouth? The name "Autopilot"? Critics have gone after all of them. So far Teslas have hit a dozen stopped emergency vehicles and in every case were on Autopilot or Traffic Aware Cruise Control modes.

Maxine Waters: "We are following the Trump policy. He is the one that does not follow the Constitution, and would not allow those seeking refuge to be able to petition to get into the country. What the hell are we doing here? What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery. Cowboys with their reins, again, whipping Black people " Haitians " into the water where they're scrambling and falling down. All they're trying to do is escape from violence in their country."

Thanks Maxine. We haven't had a good circular firing squad in at least 3 days.

Really no pleasing a bunch of you grumpy Karens.

The Cavenaugh News Network actually went with whips. Dude, those are reins. You shake them when someone gets too close to your horse. There's no way to crop those photos now, CNN.

Do Conservatives believe dinosaurs are real, or were those bones put there by Satan to trick us?

There's a lot more natural history museums than Creationist ones in Red States, so we've got that going for us at least.

Not impressed by that. "New wall projects", those in areas where the effectiveness was non-existent, were stopped. In Hidalgo construction picked up last Spring. They just shorten the bollards a little and rename them to "guardrails". The "big increase" is a statistical lie, it's inline with slowly growing the ceiling that was there when Trump took office. It was Trump's right to do that, but using a temporary decrease that's out of line with the overall slow growth trend is a distortion of what the ceiling is. There's definitely bad messaging coming out of the Dem party. To much nuance becomes a bland mixed message of come here, but now that you're here, go away. It was that way before Biden and it'll be that way after him.

At least we know the police don't need those police vehicles lol.

Meanwhile, the Texas Governor is building a wall of.. cars... where they aren't really needed, and because nobody has ever slid across the hood of a car before...

I've seen flailing to shore up collapsing approval before, but that one is darkly funny.

Biden to migrants: "Don't Come."
Harris to migrants: "Don't Come."

Parse it any way you wish, but there is no rhetoric and the policy changes are so minimal as to be insignificant. It's Trump-Lite. You still get a wall, it's just in a place that makes sense now.

No, Biden didn't open any border. Biden got elected, which signaled that the border is open. It's not actually opened, as migrants find out the hard way.

They're not "hangovers". They're professional law enforcement officers ordered to control migrant traffic.

and we Democrats own this one. We're seen, erroneously, as a party of open borders and that comes with an influx of migrants. The left wing of the party is mad that the borders aren't open enough and Biden is behaving like Trump-lite on the border.

Medicine doesn't mean medicine in the Western sense. For indigenous populations it should be interpreted as spiritual healing.

Were there kings in tribalism? Genuinely asking.

Yes. If you accept Elman's thinking, Tribalism exists in two stages. The second stage is a stratified society led by tribal kings typically called a Chiefdom. The most common type of a chiefdom is a council of tribe elders, popular assemblies, temporary postings of a war chief, and arguable the most dominant role of all, the medicine man who acts as the spiritual leader.

Well damn. Whipping Haitians is not on my Biden Bingo Card.

It doesn't say anywhere that a tent is technically indoors.

Somebody is channeling Elon Musk to keep Fremont open during Covid restrictions lol.

It's one thing I don't like about the Cirque travelling shows. The tents are a massive fire hazard with poor traffic flows in & out.

woah. one of the greatest needle drop tracks ever.

"The city's health order states attendees at live indoor performances must remain masked except when actively eating or drinking. Breed maintained that she was drinking at the time."

"No. I'm not going to sip and put my mask on, sip and put my mask up, eat and put my mask on," said Breed. "While I'm eating and drinking, I'm gonna keep my mask off.:"

So... do we burn the witch or stone her for her sins?

Inaccurate low or inaccurate high, in the liquid vs what's printed on the can/bottle? I've been on a sour and gose kick recently.

Both. For some reason fractions are hard for a lot of craft breweries when it comes to dilution, to the extent it's a running joke. They nail the water content like trained chemists though...

and the number 1 customer of Space X is that same Big Government with what appears to be an unsustainable debt load.

It's not at a fraction of the price. It's investor subsidized on a private company with opaque financials that continues to fundraise billions.
