Skipping backwards to the segments where Kieran Andrieu is doing updates talking to the camera is helpful to make sense of the context.

You're just not prompting it right

Tarrare: PATHETIC

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well that's not terrifying

Obama was elected in 2008 and took office in 2009. The biggest overhaul to American health care since FDR went into effect on March 23, 2010, and that was with the US congress involved, which always inevitably turns everything into more of a shit show than it needs to be.

You can do it, you just have to be something other than dysfunctional wreckage to do it.

seems like it creates huge opportunities for problems to fall through the cracks

I think that is clearly the deliberate goal

"You're right to call me out. My bad! Let's try this again with a new driver."

I did a test drive in a Tesla, back in the before times, and I was psyched to try out the self driving until I actually talked to the guy about it and put it into action. It was fucking terrifying. Basically what it seemed like, from talking to him and observing it, was that it was the lane-following feature that a lot of cars had even back then, but also, if it ran into anything more complex than lane following it would "do its best" but no promises.

I quickly disabled it (for whatever stupid reason, I had waited until we were on the interstate to try) and left the experience with absolutely no desire to have a Tesla even if it had been in the cards financially.

You've got the right spirit but I think it's unlikely that the car would realize its tires have been destroyed, I think it would just keep driving around just with less control over its actions which might not be the best.

Give them a little hand-carried version of The Grappler, and then if Waymo has some kind of concern about what has happened to the brakes and suspension and all sorts of shit that is broken now, just give 'em one of these.
