In most countries trucks have bars between the trailer wheels, precisely because too many car drivers got an unwelcome haircut by not paying attention.

It's a Hitway bk11. One of the most popular on Amazon (well I think the bk6 is).

The display for example is an S866, which are cheap and all over ebay/amazon. Heck, I could even interface an esp32 in there if I can find some documentation for the ubuiquitous 'communication protocol no.2'...

Usually with the exact same wording, too.

And the last comment was 'nvm. Sorted it.'

This has to be a movie plot..

Given the huge popularity of WhatsApp I suspect warning people to not share their phone number is too late...

Phone numbers get recycled all the time. The best thing you can do really is keep the same one rather than changing

This is a guy who was using a glorified cruise control (which is all AP is) at high speed whilst watching a DVD instead of looking at the road.

The software can only help so much. There's a reason why there are laws requiring attentiveness checks now.. people are reckless

That's partly why I have a cheap chinese ebike (still wasn't cheap, but nothing like some of the silly numbers some manufacturers are quoting). The parts are all cobbled together from other chinese manufactures and are pretty much standard. If it breaks, I replace a bit (they sell most of the parts on their website), or upgrade it, depending how I feel. Nothing proprietary there at all.

Hybrids were an necessity when large batteries weren't feasable (in the first Leaf, for example, the 24kw battery was about 80% of the cost, it's amazing they could sell it at a profit at all).

Falling prices and increased capacity means that isn't really the case any more, and it's not really worth the complexity of a hybrid.

I mostly agree although there were some pretty decent chunks that left the launch site at high velocity. NSF's car was 500 metres away and didn't fare well at all.

I presume SpaceX have picked up all the pieces by now though.. unlikely there was any long term damage.

Games I tend to look for people playing it on twitch. You can't get much better than actually seeing a game in action to know if it's for you.
