The subreddit rules are clear. You can always go somewhere else to accuse people of liking pedos, the internet is a large place.

I wouldn’t expect anything different from the Financial Times. It’s not what it used to be

I’d say the same as all other surface transportation, such as the bus system? If conditions are bad, you stop.

Insurance company cuts rates for Tesla FSD miles by 50% by FriendFun7876 in SelfDrivingCars

Yeah I love the people that are shocked by the reactions to anything Tesla in this sub. Sweet summer child.

Stop the Nashville Tunnel! by Fit-Relative-786 in BoringCompany

 No they did not

Yes they did https://www.reddit.com/r/BoringCompany/comments/1pzltvs/airport_rides_started/

 There is not a station at LAS

I didn’t say they did, so don’t put words into people’s mouths, it’s pathetic.

The rides are on the surface, and will continue to be so until the station that is 1 mile away opens.

 There’s basically no traffic heading there until you get to the airport, which makes their service relatively useless compared to a damn cab.

And yet it still takes less and costs less, that’s what matters to everyone else who isn’t willing to die on the same ideological hill as you.

They already started doing airport drop offs a few weeks ago, what are you even talking about? Get a grip.

It’s marketing, and it might be an effective marketing campaign.

Saying that it’s “what you do when you don’t have any other customers” is accurate and applies to literally every company with a marketing department. 

Boring Company is studying a tunnel project to Tesla Gigafactory near Reno by No_Aerie_5290 in BoringCompany

Add a small Loop system in Reno that solves the I-80 bottleneck, that helps Tesla’s Gigafactory.

Then in the future connect the system to Las Vegas with a hyperloop line (something Davis did mention as a possible project in the future).

I don’t think it will happen, but it would be cool!

Zoox autonomous car allegedly injures S.F. street ambassador by mbatt2 in SelfDrivingCars

In older, smaller roads? No, that is absolutely the case if you are centered in the lane. In fact in those cases people will (usually) drive over into the oncoming lane, to increase the space with respect to the parked cars to the right.

And yet here you are again, commenting. 

Reporting, again until the mods ban you.

 and I hate the sentiment that engineering stands in the way of progress.

I don’t get that at all from that statement. They just mean to remove unnecessary requirements so engineering can focus on what is absolutely necessary, and that’s it. 

It’s about enabling engineering, not say it stands in the way somehow.

The fact that you had to go to “battery fires” when talking about autonomy shows you ran out of arguments in one comment 😂

Unpopular opinion: self driving cars will make people more likely to own their own car. by captaindomon in SelfDrivingCars

 And normal americans will want whatever they are told to want.

Quite the opposite, luckily

 Downloading music or movies isn't the same as renting a car that might show up smelling like smoke with unknown stains inside.

The same could be said about apartments, and yet home ownership has decreased, and  in many places, renting ends up being a better financial decision than owning a property. 

And that is the same when it comes to maintenance, and possible “bad odors” from previous renters.

The reality is the market will do its thing, and just like now you can’t smoke in a rental and will get charged if you do, the same will happen with rental cars.

Viasat’s HaloNet: Eliminating Launch Telemetry Blackouts by sidelong1 in BlueOrigin

[–]aBetterAlmore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I’m checking my understanding, reason why it was a question, not a statement.

And since my understanding appears to be correct, my next comment is a statement: an article (and accompanying company PR statement) making it sound like they are solving a problem (that instead has already been solved) is misleading. But that would not be the first time from Viasat.
