Much appreciated, honestly! I had never seen it before and was kind of bummed I'm even aware of it now.

I got a refurbished Pixel 6 Pro for under $300 from Woot, and installed GrapheneOS. It's great.

I read the copy pasted into the post, maybe they edited it out?

Why did they feel the need to to publish his daughter's deadname? It's truly not relevant or needed at all.

... and you can only get it on Google play. that makes sense. 🙄

Yeah, I initially got excited thinking this was a new UnitedPush server or something, but alas.

you go first, shitwad

right, and they're actually pretty bad at remembering facts, that's why we have entire institutions dedicated to maintain accurate reference material!

why do people throw all of this out the window for advice from a dumb program I'll never understand

Artist!

Have you used it? It's not very good. It tries to run red lights, makes random swerves and inputs, and generally drives like someone on sedatives.

They've had to inject a ton of map data to try to make up for the horrendously low resolution cameras, but "HD MaPs ArE a CrUtCh" right?

No radar or lidar means the sun can blind it easily, and there's a blind spot in front of the car where cameras cannot see.

Is what they've made impressive? Sure, but it's nowhere near safe enough to be on public roads in customer's cars. At all.

I have never liked anything pumpkin, before or after transitioning. everyone is shocked by this.

Five LiDAR sensors hasn't stopped Cruise from running into a bus, multiple cars, and a fire truck. Maybe self-driving is a myth?

Maybe we should just build buses and trains and pay people good salaries to operate them??

glad you're figuring it out!

Yeah, the anonymous accounts are kind of annoying. If I go into the settings and swap 2-3 times I'll usually get one that works and lets me search. I've installed 6 or so apps this way.

Damn if only there were a way to get around in San Francisco that wasn't driving or being driven!

I spent longer than I care to admit trying to figure out if it was sarcastic or not before just deciding not to think about it any longer lmao

This sounds like it would've been such a magical experience until you realized though!

Because double-clicking has worked fine for decades despite not being the default. You should relax.

If we’re talking about Econ 101 maybe Google shouldn’t have purchased a company that couldn’t turn a profit after nearly a decade without rent-seeking.

They don’t do amazingly well. Cruise literally ran into the back of a bus. The car has five LiDAR sensors, twenty-one radars, and twelve cameras and can’t see a bus?

They’re constantly stopping in the middle of the streets and struggling with scenarios regular drivers don’t have an issue with. First Responders hate them because they’re constantly in the way with no way to disable them.

They have to route around left turns because they’re too hard (and have caused a couple collisions), so it takes an incredible amount of time to get anywhere compared to literally any other method of transport. Not to mention that they’re testing them in cities that actually have decent transit! Just get on a bus!!

Anyone working on AVs in the US has a long way to go, I haven’t followed international companies as closely. Blame Elon all you want, not a single company has actually managed to make a safe and useful product.

I know a lot of people (myself included!) want this technology to exist and be useful, but we may need to start thinking about what we do if it isn't achievable. Allowing public development of these is a nuisance.
