People are always going to adjust their risk upwards as technology gets safer. Even if all cars were self-driving and perfect, some pedestrian will push the bounds of physics, stepping out with no time to stop.

These drivers aren't going to sleep or Tiktoking in the first 30 minutes. They are being lulled into complacency by a tech that generally does a good job, and they have been told by marketing that we are so close to FSD.

It's just that what you're saying is meaningless. There is no way to test things fully until you deploy them. If they did their best in private lots then said it is out of testing, then got in accidents, you would be saying they never tested functionality in the real world.

I mostly disagree with their pitch to the public and marketing. It should have been pitched as advanced cruise, the way many cars have. I think it has misled buyers into being entirely too trusting of the Autopilot for its current abilities.

You should go to another part of the comments, then, because over here we were discussing the application of the statistic.

That is silly to say. Cars themselves are a convenience technology.

I am not defending him, just saying it's wrong to use misleading stats even with a good point.

Close, but usage matters too. Just owning a car with driver assist doesn't mean you use it at the same rate. Share of miles driven with assist features would be better.

Then if you want to get gritty, I guess we could try to quantify how complex the miles were. Dense city miles and construction zones should count more.

Love it haha. I don't care about Tesla at all, but including the share of miles driven on Autopilot versus other companies' tech would be much more revealing. If 90% of miles driven were on Autopilot, they would be outperforming their competitors.

pension for fascism

If you are making a joke here, it is funny.

This is one of those times you should realize how misleading statistics can be. Can you think of what might be a more informative measurement if we are actually after the truth?

Yes lol

Primatene (ephedrine) for alertness and appetite suppression.

I would love to share this with friends if it didn't misspell "y'all".

Bean dip or eating refried beans with chips or tortillas is not unusual at all. In fact, dipping tortilla in beans is basically eating hummus with pita.

Mine paid off about 18 months ago after 5 years at 2.42%. I feel like that was the better move even if I'd had all the cash to put in.

I use Primatene OTC and caffeine to self-medicate.

Common knowledge would be more appropriate. It is known by many people, but it is not basic as in obvious. It took a long time to know what we learn in a very "basic" high school biology course.

And if you actually remember half of what you learned in that course a decade later, people ask things like, "where do you learn this shit?"

Actually the last few times, Verizon has called me to upgrade for little or no money, sometimes paying more for my old phone than I did when it was new. I asked once why they do it, and it is some sort of loyalty program.

Solidarity strikes aren't legal here

The military bases would be operational for the short-lived attempt to secede.

This is how it feels as a leftist from Texas. Family is too important to leave, but the scales feel like they keep tipping towards moving for climate and politics.
