They don't. You have to get them from a place that imports like PDA Plaza out of Quebec (I've used them before).

To me, that's a dealbreaker, because you lose the benefit of getting replacement parts easily.

So a non-citizen who was convicted of a federal crime in 2023 was being deported and he died in custody?

"ICE noted Noviello had been a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. since 1991, after entering the country through legal visa status in 1988."

They were only kicking him out because of his drug convictions, which he already served a 12 month prison sentence for.

Basically, "anything bad makes you a non-citizen", which begs the question: how is Trump dealing with domestic terrorists?

In addition to deaths, there were 5,514 hospitalizations; 36,266 ambulance responses and 24,587 emergency department visits due to suspected opioid-related drug toxicity across Canada in 2024, the report said.

I don't know how much money it will take to "fix" this problem, but I'm sure as shit convinced that it's less than the cost of managing all that!

Thanks for sharing. I can finally get off LT.

Tesla vehicles are specifically singled out, because as far as I know, they are the only autonomous vehicle that uses cameras instead of Lidar.

And the Tesla company has a habit of cover ups, falsifying or manipulating crash data, and fraud.

I don't trust any autonomous car on public roads, but some are considerably more trustworthy than Teslas.

FWIW, you can buy robot vacuums for your home with more advanced object detection than a robotaxi. 🫤

I mean given their track record

That's my point. Tesla (the company) has been notorious for pushing forward their deadly "self-driving" technology. It's one of the worst automated systems on the planet, with plenty of tests, reports, and real-world incidences to raise red flags all over the place.

They SHOULD NOT be on the road, so are they only on the road because Musk was able to influence someone?

I mean, if they weren't as buggy as they clearly already are, then sure... do a point system.

But as they stand, they shouldn't be on the road.

Fifty per cent feel frustrated, 47 per cent feel emotionally drained and 43 per cent feel depressed.

I have a hard time believing that the other half is totally fine. Perhaps they just normalized debt so they've become numb to it?

Ah, Ok.

I agree with accountability, but not with the point system. That's almost like a "three strikes" rule for drunk drivers.

That's not really accountability, that's handing out free passes.

Was it? I didn't read a single hint of adding accountability in the article.

But that begs the question: shouldn't accountability be in place now, and not maybe at some point in the distant future? They are already on the road.

How about we leave the driving to people, and not pre-alpha software?

There's no accountability for this horribly dangerous driving, so they shouldn't be on the road. Period.

Fucking hell. We don't let drunks drive taxis, and that goddamn thing drove like it was under the influence.

Does Tesla get sent tickets for traffic violations, or are we OK with this?

I'm sure if I was paid enough to spend weeks compiling a list, I'd do it.

But what would that change for you? If you need more than the nearly 300 that are already filed in court (so far), then you probably won't be satisfied with a list of 1000, or 10,000.

Just observe the things he does, and ask yourself whether it's legal, unconstitutional, corrupt, or grounds for impeachment. You can add in unethical (but not illegal), if you like, but that would be like beating a dead horse.

For example, just a few hours ago, he posted about getting a "bum" out of office. That "bum"? A republican congressman who did not agree with the illegal act of bombing Iran. Firing someone for not agreeing with you breaking the law and oath to the constitution isn't how a democratic country operates.

You can find countless examples of this, on a daily basis.

In my rural area they are putting 50km signs in the middle of the road on the yellow lines. Makes you feel like you're threading a needle.

I like that idea!

We have something similar in a few spots around here using flexible bollards.

Doh, I got that reversed 🫣 Corrected now.

Just an FYI, there is a tracker of current legal cases against the trump admin (over 280 right now), and this doesn't include much of the daily illegal stuff he does (like this recent attack on another country).

The tracker also doesn't cover stuff like his scam phone, scam crypto, scam <insert any of the stuff he's selling>, threats of annexation of other countries, using the white house to sell teslas, arresting people he dislikes, and so on.

There's probably more than a 1000, now that I think about it. And this is all just from the beginning of the year. If you include his previous term, you could easily add a few hundred more. 🫢

I think the takeaway is that speed cameras won't deter speeding

That's not true.

Numerous cities report lower overall speeds, and a reduction in traffic collisions when automated cameras are deployed.

For example, https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/annoying-thing-speed-cameras-ottawa-they-work-1.6786951 and https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/speed-cameras-proved-effective-at-latest-locations-10758040.

When my city installed the first speed camera, it clocked over 100,000 speeders in 40 days. Unfortunately, we gave drivers a grace period, so no fines were issued at the beginning.

But in those areas, speeding was reduced.

I'd rather have roads designed to be slow and require attention to navigate, but good luck getting anyone to listen to that. Trying to get any speed reduction strategies to be implemented is very difficult because of NIMBYs.

Driving is a right privilage, not a privilege right.

Speed enforcement cameras (and red light cameras) are doing something that we don't have the money to do via traffic officers.

Roads should be watched and laws enforced. Because people killing people with their vehicle shouldn't be something we view as normal or acceptable, IMO.

Edit: fixed glaring mistake.

I'd love to see enforcement that leads to demerit points. But you need a revenue stream to pay for officers on the ground, and nobody wants to pay more in taxes to compensate.

Either we use the revenue to fund traffic cops, or we set fines high enough (but proportional to income or net worth) in order for it to be self-sufficient.

We're far too lenient on drivers that can't drive safely.

One of like 1000 things he's done in the last few months that was either illegal, unconstitutional, "grounds for impeachment", or corrupt. 🥱
