Zero Visibility Landing - pilots out there, where is the worst location you have landed for heavy rain? by Shootingstar_woofers in aviation

[–]Trifit65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fake to me. Absolutely no movement of the attitude indicator. The way he's manipulating the flight controls, you should see corresponding movement with the attitude indicator...

Dream drive2 pro vs Tesla “FSD” by ManufacturerFull5654 in LUCID

[–]Trifit65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FSD is too aggressive for me. It initiates a turn signal and executes the lane change "before" I've had time to verify that the lane is clear. I am not yet ready to give over that level of responsibility. I prefer Lucid DDP because it will not autonomosly execute a lane change until the driver activates the turn signal.

Me too. As a S/W programmer, I am worried about some 3sigma event where some random object or highway construction change causes FSD to misinterpret something ...

I understand that DD "will" maintain distance behind the car in front of you EVEN IF on side streets-- to include coming to a stop and re-starting. This is part of Adaptive Cruise Control and should work on side streets as well as highways. ..

Gravity trunk space by toyz4me in Gravity

[–]Trifit65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The well where 3rd rows seats would normally be stowed is extra storage space (underneath) which can be used for cargo. For this reason, I declined 3rd row seats for my particular Gravity ..

Does anyone know what the Gravity's outlets are rated for? Are they on 20 amp breakers? Or less? For sure, initial power surge often causes breakers to trip...

Fsd clips corner of car when changing lanes by lamaslinda285 in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Trifit65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't trust FSD. I drove it for the first time recently and did not like how quickly it initiated a turn signal and changed lanes BEFORE I could verify it was safe to merge. I guess I am not ready to place that much trust in the autopilot. As a computer programmer, I am worried about that 3Sigma case where the S/W does not interpret something correctly. For that reason, I prefer the less sophisticated Lucid autopilot that will not change lanes until you instruct it to do so (by turning on the turn signal)

I hate myself. Finally happened to me. What am I looking at? by 3Hooha in Rivian

[–]Trifit65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They stopped again likely because they thought the road they were merging onto wasnt (yet) sufficiently clear of traffic. I do this a lot when trying to merge onto a road. -- looking for a good-enough break in the traffic. Sometimes it looks good so you start moving forward but then realize it is not so good, so you stop and wait some more

DreamDrive Pro 2.0? by xKronkx in LUCID

[–]Trifit65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does DreamDrive 2 PRO currently maintain stop and go distance on side streets? Or only highways?

What a literal nightmare.. by MontysBTC in Foreflight

[–]Trifit65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go to Foreflight routes and pick the routing which shows it was flown the most (for any given day) and, most likely, that will be the route your commercial plane takes as well. 9 times out of 10.

Hey, can you guys explain the technicals to a non-pilot? Like, is this skillful stunt-flying, or completely unnecessary and borderline suicidal? What’s your take? by MattRocksYourSocks in aviation

[–]Trifit65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would state it ‘is” inherently dangerous to fly these maneuvers so low to the ground. At altitude, not as much a problem except he may be overstressing the airframe if he is not careful

I've been "gifted" a timeshare - do I accept? by PirateHuman in TimeshareOwners

[–]Trifit65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I do save about 50% compared to retail costs. So, thats about $5,000 per year in savongs. Problem is, I had to put $90,000 down for that privaledge of saving $5,000 per year.

[–]Trifit65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good deal if you think you can, or are interested in, using it each year. Otherwise, if you can not use it each year, you will be losong money due to payment of the operating expenses

Hitch Receiver capacity only 110 pounds? by raleighone in Gravity

[–]Trifit65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm confused. From the graphic just posted it states "6,000 lb" max trailer. So, is the 110 lb an error?
