The back-up driver of an Uber self-driving car that killed a pedestrian has been charged with negligent homicide.
Elaine Herzberg, aged 49, was hit by the car as she wheeled a bicycle across the road in Tempe, Arizona, in 2018.
Investigators said the car's safety driver, Rafael Vasquez, had been streaming an episode of the television show The Voice at the time.

Btw, I read the report linked in the tweet posted earlier. It does not make good reading. They took three random 2018 Model 3s and tested out their lane keeping, attention alert, dangerous situation switch of capabilities etc and A one of the cars kept flunking out on key tasks but overall the behavior wasn't consistent between the three cars either in several important respects. Utterly nuts.

Oh, and apparently charging or supercharging might gently caress with autopilot behavior for a certain period after the charge.

Combat Theory posted:

There is no sensible reason to utilize battery energy as any kind of mall ninja survival plan for when the power goes out. Any money you spend on that specific thought is absolute waste. It's a a Marketing gag to fill the quivers of internet fanboys with lovely non arguments.

If your brain is limited to "house runs on electricity, car runs on electricity, therefore car power house" you have bigger issues to worry about than power outages.

By the way a full tank of gas will idle a passenger vehicle for several days all while producing heat and limited power to keep a small family alive, whereas a BEV will be poo poo out of juice after the first chilly night.

But if you are actually worried about danger and survival, the last bloody thing you do is get a vehicle that requires the operation of the most complex machine in human existence (a national power grid) in order to provide usefulness past being a brick with glass windows.

The whole idea is so incredibly stupid and offensive to anyone who ever spend any amount of time in a distressed third world country/ war zone/ actual disaster area that I'm frankly out of reasonable words.

Jamming a shorted battery up your rear end to keep you warm is like one level above the BEV powered house to be honest.

Get a generator. Plumb away on a combustion engine to heat your house, get a bloody wood stove. Anything is a better suggestion than buying a Duracell with wheels to feel cool that you can Dad out for 4 hours if the power goes off before you are off worse than everybody with a combustion vehicle, who at least can still GTFO.

And if you are really, really ,really worried about heat and power, there are modern wood carburetor engine generators available for relatively small coin that can keep your own woodland poo poo Box powered and heated indefinitely so long as you provide some motor oil.

50 kw electricity, 100 kw thermal. Runs on wood. Buying this and a used Toyota costs less than a Tesla. They are also more environmentally friendly.

thanks for that, last time I looked at woodgas stuff I mostly came across weirdos with hardware store supplies cobbled together. also, holzverstromungsanlage is another wonderous german word.

there's a tool called breezewiki that rips all the fandom poo poo out of wikia sites and also will redirect you to non-fandom wikis if they're more used, it's super nice

this happened with the warframe wiki as well, but the wiki is covered in banners saying to ignore all the fandom added content on it which is extremely funny
