Am I the only one who thinks this EXACT scenario should be test number fucking one? If the system can’t handle this.... Read more
The best one I have heard is that we will have achieved reliable autonomous cars when they can operate reliably in Moscow, in winter. I think a lot of us would add ( insert My City here). Just coming to work today in wet icy spring weather, rutted roads, no lines, two guys in front of me rolled thru stop signs and… Read more
Ross Douthat is a fucking numpty for typing that tweet and then actually sending the shit. Read more
Everyone is ripping on the computer, but there was a human on board equally as capable of applying the brakes and also failed to do so. I wouldn’t mind knowing why. Read more
“ The police department’s preliminary investigation indicates the car made no attempt to brake.” Read more
We have an absurd amount of pedestrian fatalities here in the Phoenix metro area. The link below is to a story from March 13 about the previous week and the 10 pedestrian deaths that had occurred.

I could have paid for my new car in cash, but with interest rates this low and the market generally showing remarkable returns, I put down 20% and took out a 72month loan for the rest at a bit over 2% and threw the cash into an S&P500 index fund. Even with… Read more
