1·2 months agoI mean, there are traffic violations, and then there are traffic violations - if there’s a dead body at the end, it was the second type.
Neither is desirable, but it would actually be a big win to create a tech system that drives a car that produces fewer fatalities per mile than the average human, regardless of whether or not it generates speeding tickets or other inconveniences.
That’s my opinion, anyway. I won’t downvote you, I only downvote comments unhelpful to the overall conversation, you’re not being unhelpful, I just disagree with you.
I was actually surprised that Waymo had only thousands of units in operation.
That being said, 3,000 commercially operating for years with zero fatalities, that’s not nothing. It’s not a ton, it doesn’t change the world (much), but it isn’t zero. Tesla’s result so far rounds down to zero.
No, no, the AI calls APIs.
That is to say, A.ctual P.eople in I.ndia
Do they know how to scale up an autonomous taxi service? I mean, maybe? There’s no sign of that anywhere in the Tesla data, though.
The original target was Robotaxis to cover “half the US population by the end of 2025,” so we’re nowhere close to on-target, and those goals weren’t given with any asterix on the earnings call when they were declared. I don’t see any reason to move the goalpost, it’s just a miss taken to a funny conclusion.
That’s the spirit!
Treat yourself.
Slice it thin and fry it til it browns a little. Thank me later.
Yea nah the good parts of the pig, those they sell in far better cuts XD
Spam is all that’s left over but the squeal, and then, sawdust or whatever they use to retain the water.
1·6 months agoI thought about riffing on that line from No Country for Old Men there, “even between man and steer, the contest is uncertain.”
It was so close to being a joke, but like ICE, I got stuck about 5 yards from my starting point and gave up
As a Toyota truck owner, can confirm.
Kei Kei’s delivery service.
I sometimes feel shortchanged as an American (no healthcare, FUUUUCK), but I only get real mad about it when I think about how we don’t get Hiluxes and Kei trucks.
MFW I say how much
on the Fediaverse.
It’s Bill Burr’s 21st century and we’re all just living in it.
He’s crushing it on Star Wars stuff, his comedy is on fucking fire, and weirdly he’s one of a small axis of Americans (bad word choice lol) who has the backbone to resist our descent into fascism. I agree with him and I fuckin hate it, bring back buttons, I don’t’ want to drive an iPad.
That’s how I pay server costs :)
Feel free to use ad block, doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit. AdBlock Plus is still good. I’m shocked to meet a programmer who doesn’t already block ads TBH!
The odds of a Ram 1500 driver drunk-dialling the number on the popup ad blocking their backup cam is low… but never zero!
The Ram 1500 is the official car of “more than one, but not so many they take your license away” – both DUIs and beers before going to work.
That’s the other “Remind me later” button
I’ve been thinking about exactly this… you could probably get an apples to apples comparison, by comparing only a specific model year.
IE, how did every 2023 car perform in the year 2024? Then, parse that by the vehicle’s price, or maybe by its propulsion type, maybe both. THAT would be how an honest study of the question would go.
Of course, Tesla knows that, they can afford really great data scientists. Makes you wonder why they run their obviously flawed safety study instead.
“It broke the test equipment” is not NEARLY the clapback Elon thinks it is. That’s actually really bad, and probably demonstrates the lethality of the vehicle (it’s just too heavy)
Also I love your username, show me the lie
