I think the point is that that sort of safety critical stuff should be on board, not relying on a wireless connection.

The worst part about this increase of software use is that it'll make a mechanically perfectly serviceable car dated and reliant on outside services. Car manufacturers aren't planning on supporting this software for 10+ years, so one day you'll find that navigation stops working or something like that.

The way some Israelis talk about Palestinians make it clear they see them as less than animals. It's pretty disgusting.

I'm assuming it's probably technically possible, just ridiculously expensive to build and maintain, with way less throughput than a train.

Haha, yeah. Remember the chaos when militia guys started shooting at transformers in substations? Every hick with a gun would be shooting at it just to shut it down.

And even maglev is barely done because it's so expensive to build. Hyperloop is wrapping that same maglev train into a tube that should maintain a vacuum for kms on end, and pretty much every failure mode would end up being genuinely catastrophic.

Hamas has built more tunnels than Musk. Let that sink in.

Yep, would happily take the coffee machine over a PS5. As long as I still had my PC, obviously.

They just copied everything Tesla did when they decided to start making electric cars, including the really idiotic stuff. As to why Tesla did that, Musk probably fired anyone that dared question his ideas.

Hold on, what's going to happen to Disney? I got the impression they're really eating into Netflix' market share. They basically own a huge chunk of the content most people care about.

Yeah, I don't think I heard anything about it since the initial launch, except for people on here asking to defederate from it preemptively.

Oh yeah, I work in software development myself. No way I'd trust my life to something like Tesla's autopilot, which is perpetually in beta, relies on just the camera feed and is basically run by a manager that has clear issues with over promising and under delivering (among other things). You can get away with shit like that for a website or mobile app, but these are people's lives.
