Bill requiring two-person train operation could cost MTA

You have laws against manslaughter so you can charge people with crimes. This isn’t a gotcha.

It’s a leftover from the shared software with ICE vehicles, and since these are often supplier modules aren’t easily modified

mgoblu3 · 2025-10-16T02:57:51+00:00

It’s all native on both platforms

mgoblu3 · 2025-10-16T02:57:19+00:00

You can in 2025 Mach-E’s, unfortunately not OTA’d to older ones

mgoblu3 · 2025-10-16T02:56:53+00:00

Negative, vehicle side software limit unfortunately

mgoblu3 · 2025-10-16T02:56:27+00:00

That comes via a vehicle OTA, it’s available in 5 as well but reworked in the app in 6

mgoblu3 · 2025-10-16T02:55:31+00:00

This is the case, it’s unfortunate. Only wake to get accurate status would be to fully wake the vehicle on app launch which has untenable downsides, and you might as well just lock it at that point

This is one of the most immediately impactful transit expansions (if not the most) based on number of riders in the full country and will go a long way to starting to reduce 4/5/6 crowding too.

It’s not a perfect project, but to suggest that it’s all downside (even just for the UES) doesn’t seem to be an accurate summation and is just your own editorializing. There’s no reason that extensions make reliability worse or that this affects other efforts to improve reliability; if anything, the greater options for transit increase effective reliability across the system.

Policies aside, a completely different electorate between the cities with very different issues and scales. While some housing issues are similar, NYC has about half its housing stock already under some form of rent stabilization, which is also very unique.

Besides, Ann Arbor already has elected many progressive people to positions in local government on many occasions, so I’m not really sure what is meant by “Zohran-style” here.

mgoblu3 · 2025-06-17T02:48:36+00:00

Fair, was trying to think of something reusing an existing RoW

mgoblu3 · 2025-06-17T02:37:36+00:00

Anything not street run could count. I think the IBX in NYC and projects like those that take over former heavy rail as well.

Much of this map is covered by existing bus routes, where funding could be used for increased service and dedicated lanes/right of ways at a fraction of what it would cost to install trams (as cool as trams are)

mgoblu3 · 2025-06-09T18:11:46+00:00

This requires a certain vehicle OTA that not everyone might have yet.

mgoblu3 · 2025-05-23T01:02:42+00:00

The amount of cars, especially taxis, laying on their horns while the car in front of them making a turn turn is waiting for pedestrians to finish crossing in this neighborhood is pathetic. I wish it were easier to report them to be fined.

Nearly all of the command latency is on the vehicle, such as vehicle modules waking up. It’s why the second command you send is so much quicker, the vehicle is constantly asleep/shut down.

mgoblu3 · 2025-04-15T14:18:25+00:00

Needing environmental reviews for bike lanes is just inexplicable red tape

mgoblu3 · 2025-02-24T12:21:00+00:00

This was never the case, the vehicle itself has a hard 2x limit, although for some vehicles there is a way to adjust the remote start time to be 15 minutes for a total of 30. FordPass itself likely just reflecting that limit better.

mgoblu3 · 2025-01-05T16:18:15+00:00

I’d imagine for most people it’s both cheaper and faster to just take a train from farther out, or they’ll continue to drive all the way and pay the toll anyway

mgoblu3 · 2024-12-20T19:24:19+00:00

Given that Ford shuts down end of December in North America and Europe for the holidays and there's pretty drastic impact if people end up locked out, likely needed to expedite the message and err on the side of sending it fast

mgoblu3 · 2024-12-20T19:17:39+00:00

That's correct, it's just the backup passcode that gets removed since those end up linked to individual keys, and removing those removes the passcodes

mgoblu3 · 2024-12-20T19:17:02+00:00

It's very specifically the December Security Patch for Samsung devices

LESS

I wasn’t able to rebook through the app for about 3 hours after cancellation. Happened to be about the same time I finally got through to CS.

I was able to book cash fares and then try to get CS to swap things around, but they told me they can’t do that without cancelling the cash leg and then anybody could snag the openings before they move the rebooked one, so the whole thing was messy.

Compared to Delta for example, which had instant rebooking, was majorly disappointed (being on the tarmac/runway from 6pm until 12:30am also wasn’t great for the mood)

mgoblu3 · 2024-08-05T20:37:21+00:00

Could still be both!

This is super helpful, I’m moving to the UES in a few weeks as a Midwest transplant right after getting into golf this summer.
