I’ve heard that exact sound used on some computers (lottery maybe?) in gas stations in the US. I’m not sure why they picked that exact sound, but it’s definitely distinct and recognizable.

Uh oh

Completely true. And I would dictate my driving characteristics based on that fact.

I would drive at a speed and in a manner that would allow me to not almost crash into things. But especially trains.

In what way is it not ready to use?

To me it seems you just spent three paragraphs answering your own question.

can’t even see 50 meters ahead

didn’t understand what it was and how to react to it

FSD is not a finished product. It’s under development

doesn’t mean it’s obvious to the AI

If I couldn’t trust a system not to drive into a train, I don’t feel like I would trust it to do even the most common tasks. I would drive the car like a fully attentive human and not delude myself into thinking the car is driving me with “FSD.”

I’ve never hit a train. And I’ve also never almost hit a train. I think I could go my entire life never almost hitting trains and I would still consider that the bare minimum for a mammal with two eyes and a brain.

It’s unreasonable for FSD to see a train? … that’s 20ft tall and a mile long? Am I understanding you correctly?

Foolproof would be great, but I think most people would set the bar at least as high as not getting killed by a train.

And was a dancer. And was a competitive diver. And was a fencer (the stolen goods kind).

To your point, he honestly made me appreciate how actors have lives outside of the set.

I can never take Jason Statham seriously in his action movies after learning he was a painted up rave dancer in the background of multiple 90s music videos.

Was the next Dropbox breach due already? I forgot to set a reminder.

Whatever. He’s a hot dog!

“Unfortunately”? Be careful, your wording makes it sound like you would rather people be legitimately punished for letting the flag touch the ground or disposing of it improperly.

I tried interpreting your comment in different ways and hope what you intended to say is that it’s unfortunate that he is the kind of crass person that would abuse this important freedom.

But it’s important for us to make a distinction between those that exercise a freedom and those that abuse a freedom. We should be free to criticize or ridicule those in the latter group for the same reason that they are free to abuse it.

Thor tweeted that.

My pet peeve has always been when media controls (like volume) are on the right side of the steering wheel rather than the left.

To me it makes a lot less sense to put them on the right when my right hand is already 10 inches away from another set of media controls (left-hand drive vehicle).

My 2004 Mazda, 2018 Mazda, and 2011 Kia all had it figured out and pretty much used the same layout for media controls and accessories like cruise control. My Ford, however, seems like no thought was put into it.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

Optional?!

Imagine the lawsuits if/when somebody dies due to an onboard fire/smoke.

I wouldn’t take this seriously if it weren’t for the fact that Boeing’s propensity for up-charging for basic safety features didn’t contribute to the crashes of two 737 Max 8.

Yeah, I was scratching my head at that as well.

Dangit! You beat me to it.
