I wonder if they will implement dead zones for self-driving. I was using a Lime scooter in a new city and when I entered a university campus, the scooter slowed to a crawl.

I don’t understand why a person would need FSD in a suburb street.

If FSD proves to be demonstrably safer in such a scenario then it would make sense to use it there.

All of the optimism surrounding this industry hinges on "ifs" that never materialize.

It's shocking. I can't understand why people repeatedly fall for it.

My nightmare has become reality. Software engineers now rule the world.

Life and death policies being made by people who last week you were arguing about whether using Kubernetes is worth it for a throwaway project, or whether tabs or spaces are more appropriate.

[jcgrillo]

I just wonder how bad it will have to get before they decide we need to be reigned in. Going by how the 20th Century went, if it's anything like that we're in for a rough time before we get there--like, to a place where software engineers have to act like, well, engineers.

They do that on bikes as well. At first, I was very confused about what was happening.

My parents have a Tesla. It’s convenient. I engage my Subaru’s lane-keeping in suburbs, too, to reduce driver fatigue.

The Subaru behaves predictably. The Tesla is mostly more capable, but does something dumbfucked and dangerous every few dozen trips.

> to reduce driver fatigue

Fatigue is not the only, or even the biggest, risk to driving safely. Being distracted is frequently one of the biggest risks.

It’s also a convenient way to commit to the speed limit.
