Sounds good until you have a child that will literally rather starve themselves than eat something that has mixed smooth and crunchy textures. Agonizing as a parent. They do grow out of it, eventually.

The kiosk lets me make my stupid custom order without the shame if having to say it out loud and that makes it the greatest thing. Self checkout though needs a clerk when I try and buy alcohol or use a coupon, which brings all that shame as I look like an idiot waiting for someone to stop helping someone else so they can push the magic button and scan their ID.

I like self-checkout as an option. But since you need staff there anyway, and other people might need more serious help with their checkout, it's good to have crewed checkout, as well.

Like, I dunno, bad analogy maybe but if I want my hair cut a certain way I'd rather tell the person cutting it than get up and walk over to a computer screen with pictures of 100 different haircuts and download an app about it. I'd loving love this poo poo rather than having to figure out what language the barber is expecting and worrying that they're gonna ignore me and cut it however the hell they want to anyway.

Hell, I was in Thailand four years ago and when walking past a McDonalds they had the automated screens there, and you can guarantee staff there are getting a lot less than anywhere in the west.

Last Friday at my local grocery store (chain) I had to stand in line 20 minutes to pay for my 4 items and the lines behind each of the two registers was snaking to the back of the store. At loving 5:30pm. Bring on the self checkouts.

This reminds me of this story https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-61467165 quote:Ms McCarthy said she loved chatting with checkout staff as she lives on her own, but "now that experience has been taken away from me". As an ex retail slave I can almost guarantee the staff don't feel the same way.

https://www.vice.com/en/article/epzgkk/27-percent-of-electric-vehicle-fast-chargers-in-the-bay-area-dont-work-study-finds 27% of Electric Vehicle Fast Chargers in the Bay Area Don’t Work, Study Finds Charger reliability is an even bigger problem than lack of chargers, surveys of EV users increasingly find. The study, which has not been peer reviewed and claims to be the first of its kind to systematically test DCFC reliability, confirmed these findings. An incredible 27.6 percent of the 657 chargers tested didn’t work (21 had to be excluded from the study because an internal combustion engine car was parked in front of the charger, a move EV owners refer to as being “ICE’d”). And when a random sampling of 10 percent of the chargers were revisited about a week later, nearly all of them hadn’t been fixed. There was no one major problem with the chargers, according to the study’s results. Forty-seven chargers experienced a payment system failure even after attempting multiple credit cards. Forty-two simply never started charging. Thirty-two had “station design failures” such as the cord being too short to reach the charging port on Chevy Bolts or spots too small for cars to actually fit in. Twenty-four had error messages on the screen, and 23 had blank or unresponsive screens. SIx connectors were broken and seven had wifi or other connectivity issues.

I’ll give a try, thank you!”

Andrast posted:Real old man yelling at cloud energy here with some of these posts Yeah my experience in any sort of busy fast food place is the kiosks are miles better. The McDonalds (or wherever) will have 4-12 working kiosks that you can punch an order into in 30 seconds instead of a massive line waiting to use 1-3 minimum wage teenagers at the tills taking forever. Its way faster, there are never any mistakes with the order, and its presumably cheaper for the restaurant themselves on top. Its a great innovation.

Not that you should give them any credit or credence, but Tesla's self-reported safety stats claim:quote:To ensure our statistics are conservative, we count any crash in which Autopilot was deactivated within 5 seconds before impact, and we count all crashes in which the incident alert indicated an airbag or other active restraint deployed. So one second before impact wouldn't help juke their own stats. Does it actually help for legal liability? And a much better question, why the gently caress are self-driving systems allowed to go to market with minimal NHTSA scrutiny, and why isn't there public crash data? (Yes, these are mostly rhetorical questions)

Heck Yes! Loam! posted:Hahaha musk is literally turning off the self driving system moments before a crash. If Autopilot is shutting off less than a second before a crash, then it's not because Autopilot is trying to avoid legal liability - it's because Autopilot literally didn't know it was about to crash until less than a second before impact. The Collision Warning and Automatic Braking systems aren't activating until immediately before collision either. Fundamentally, disengaging a driver assistance system when it detects a dangerous situation that it's unable to resolve on its own is the correct action. The problem is that Autopilot is so fundamentally unable to handle these situations that it doesn't even realize it's missing anything until the crash is imminent, so the driver is left with zero warning of the problem and zero time to intervene. Of course, the driver is supposed to be watching the road too, so they shouldn't need to wait for Autopilot's warning before they realize they're about to hit a fire truck. This is why the NHTSA investigation is aimed at a larger, more general target: "to explore the degree to which Autopilot and associated Tesla systems may exacerbate human factors or behavioral safety risks by undermining the effectiveness of the driver’s supervision". Or, to put it in plain English, they think Autopilot is causing drivers to not pay attention, that the driver engagement systems that are supposed to force that are utterly toothless and useless, and that the system isn't detecting dangerous situations and warning drivers about them until it's too late to intervene. The combination of these three factors are the problem that the NHTSA is looking into.

This is so backwards from the driver assistance systems that are popular in Israel, MobilEye and the like, which usually give you more information as you're driving, like beeping at you for being outside the speed range, warning you when you're abutting a lane without signaling, etc.
