I was thinking the exact same thing. It's not a beauty contest as long as Uber is owning the prototype fleet. Plus, I think it will clue in other drivers to: "Dude, that was one of those 'driverless ubers' right?"

How would a linter catch the presence of a variable that exists?

The line was adding about 5 or 6 terms, and I think it was actually an 8-character acronym that he had. It might have been like "time from ninety percent to ten percent falling edge" or "falling edge fall time ten percent&qu
