Yeah and in the last 5 it has not, despite spending increasing 1000x. No huge progress has been made, just like with batteries. The technology is reaching its plateau.

Plan your own trip

Warms the cockles of my heart to hear kids are playing outside without any helicopter parents (it maybe even warms the subcockle area).

The last thing they need are nosy helicopter strangers. Keep it moving, JB.

Hardly improved is a classic acclimation bias. It’s like when people say battery tech hasn’t improved.

The technology has made giant leaps and bounds over the last 20 years.

Blind spot sensors, automatic parking, auto lane changing, automatic emergency braking, and full self driving in geofenced areas are all standard technology now that didn’t exist 15 years ago.

It might not be as far along as some people would like, but it’s made huge progress in a short time.

They never moved here to begin with, remote work is a thing.

I don't walk dogs there anymore because of this. It's not new either. These incidents I'm referring to were before covid, and it's just gotten worse. I'll pick up dogs from the neighborhood and take them somewhere else to walk.

I have a 3 year old Subaru that does that. Lmao

It's weird, I've noticed that a lot recently. In the last couple weeks I had a teenager yell out at us "MOM, THE DOG IS POOPING ON OUR YARD" (it was walking, not pooping), and had an old guy yell out at us on the sidewalk to keep moving. I don't recall people being as vocal before, and there are tons of people walking their dogs all hours of the day. I get it, there are a lot of irresponsible pet owners: Nextdoor has postings almost every day about "lost" cats whose owners let roam, and I pretty frequently find poop on the sidewalks or in our front yard. But what is especially irritating about some of these crabby people is they are the same ones who put their garbage out days early, or let it blow all over the place, or let their cats walk all over the place, or make noise late into the night, or do other things that make it a less neighborly place. Or maybe I've just become more sensitive to rotten people with how ugly everything else going on is.

and where do you think those highly paid engineers are going? prob to a tech hub since pitt seems to be unable to materialize itself as a viable spot despit ehaving many of the advantages that RDU, nashville, texas have outside of tax incentives.

but tesla says they have had full self driving autopilot for years! the stock price says its true /s

Locamation tech was to have driverless follow trucks, not fully autonomous trucks

Clearly these kids have not yet discovered Jackass.

I recorded a video I might post it later

Im into these facades :)

Here's a link to the story that doesn't require you to cross a picket line.

Contractor recs is about all its good for though.

thank you:3

I never said that a conviction would/should prevent you from getting one, I'm saying that being drunk and asleep ON the job means you'd lose that job.

I also never said anything about labor unions being bad, unless you're talking about the police, at which point I'd say that the police union exists solely to protect bad police officers and immunize them against repercussions for their bad behavior.

Companies lie about their projects all the time. The entire Nikola hyrogen-powered truck demo was faked.

If you can watch that video and conclude from it that it means that self-driving cars are coming to streets everywhere in America any minute, well, there's one of you born every minute.

Faked? Ok dude, /r/conspiracy is in need of your service. Watch out for those chemtrails

Saw this same truck doing the exact same thing back on December. He needs to be stopped!

You're looking at an easily faked demo video in a controlled setting and claiming that it means that the autonomous taxi is here and in revenue service now.
 
Like I said, call me when these things are in revenue service carrying paid passengers.
