Does it necessarily charge at that rate the whole time though? It slows down as it fills up I believe.

So what kind of charge times will this translate to, once implemented? Obviously depends on battery capacity but do we have a ballpark?

It will be interesting if they can get charge times quicker than gas refueling but obviously that’s a big challenge.

In the recent Santa Monica incident, for example, the Waymo vehicle braked hard before impact — resulting in a “significant reduction in impact speed and severity” that the company said “is a demonstration of the material safety benefit of the Waymo Driver.”

In other words, when our product functions as intended, we expect it to kill some number of children.

Cars cannot be made safe despite what the snake oil salesmen will tell you. The future is not driverless cars, but carless drivers.

Not just OK with it. That’s the goal.

Huh? It seems accurate to me.

I thought those were all just reskinned versions of safari on iOS. Or am I wrong?

I’m aware of it but I’ve never tried it. Does it work on iOS?

That will be the day I finally never return. Old Reddit kinda sucks but it’s still miles better than the modern abomination.

Anyone know if these would be subject to FOIA?

I have absolutely zero faith that the US government will side with people’s safety over a new toy for the oligarchs. And these companies are openly saying their whole business model is urban transportation. So they will be lobbying to change those laws as soon as they can, and, as we’ve seen with self-driving cars, it will be difficult to stop them.

This is exactly what terrifies me though. Cars are already incredibly dangerous. Now make them 5x as fast and more difficult to control, and allow them to go anywhere and imagine the carnage.

It’s mostly marketing honestly. They’re both total ass.

They’ve always got more money to spend.

Oligarchy and democracy are fundamentally incompatible.

All these boycotts I can’t join since I never paid for them in the first place 😢

“For most users” the whole point here is to gradually get people used to having to show their papers to access the internet. We must accept nothing less than a total reversal here. Give them an inch each day and eventually they’ll have their mile.

If someone was killed as a result then you could argue yes. Doesn’t seem to be the case here, thankfully.

What’s the best alternative in your view?

Yeah but that’s mods. The nature of community moderation means there will always be abuse, but there’s always more communities to join. But here you do get to choose your admins in a similar manner. Thankfully I chose well despite picking somewhat haphazardly.

Depends totally on the instance. I don’t find my admins to be that way, but we’re also on a pretty similar ideological wavelength so I don’t know how it would be if that wasn’t the case.

Damn Reddit admins are fucking weird.
