i'm the replies telling him to just reboot his MCU with this 15 second three button hold sequence if he wants to control anything in his vehicle while traveling at 70MPH down the highway.

i mean, presumably both the steering wheel and the pedals still work, and the MCU is just feedback and control for the actual cruise control system, but still.

one was named Tina, and the other was Louise,

i assume that $TSLA autopilot is not fail-catastrophic (not fail-safe either) and that it still responds to driver inputs when the autopilot crashes

i too would assume that. that said, you'd have to be fundamentally loving stupid to see it happening and whip out your phone to record yourself loving with it rather than try to immediately take control of the vehicle.

in a sense it's unsurprising that the people who use autopilot choose to use autopilot, and the reason they die/get injured as often as they do in the way they do is pretty obvious

you never left a radio on for your dog? its supposed to give the illusion of someone being there so they don't howl trying to find our where everyone went or something.

i could absolutely believe a dog "loves" law and order - really its just a quiet-ish show for background noise

Living the Dream
At the University I work at Bird showed up and dropped off several hundred scooters without ever talking to the University or campus police or the city

The students loved them off course since this is a stem University with a huge campus but they were basically dumping them everywhere the instant they were done riding, including in trees, inside buildings, etc

The University police contacted Bird and told them to pick their poo poo up, got no response so they impounded hundreds of the scooters

Bird's response was to dump off hundreds more scooters on campus

I wonder what those things cost given they've basically been treating them as dispoasble. Those things cant be that cheap, batteries and everything they're probably even still OEM cheap af from china like at least $100 to 200 i'd have guessed? Especially isn't their payment model like $1 an hr or something? You'd have to get a shitload of use out of each one to even be worth it, not including pickup/chjarging costs.

to a vc-backed place, $100-200 is basically disposable
