I think the more objectionable part of the comment is the assessment that nobody was endangered because the accident didn't materialize. "Empty road" is a mitigating circumstance, which is probably why the officer was nice. B

You're saying how things should be. I told you how they are, from experience with both worlds. I have the impression you are vastly underestimating the "power games" happening at country/union level compared to the ones

Such a collaboration has the potential to save time, money, effort, and increase quality. But in reality it either ends up being "design by committee", or a few of the countries are the drivers and the rest are the followers who

I'd say people who object to high-tech-ifying the car aren't against high-tech as much as against bad tech and poor implementation. For example a screen in the car doesn't have to be bad tech. But if the screen is where all t

I think a lot of people knew there is something unrealistic about Tesla's video and the promises even back then. But Musk's charisma and fan base sort of pushed this idea deep down. There were super popular websites completely ded

The war exposed the failure but it was there all along. And I'll go a step further, being a bit more familiar with EU politics: this wasn't "failure" as in "random occurrence", it was set up to fail because of

The idea was that a Pi makes sense sometimes, and other times it doesn't. I know people using a Pi for one GPIO pin. This can be done just fine with an Arduino or an ESP8266. I for one run a Pi with PiHole, Wireguard, Unifi controller,

Yes, those people made it exhaustingly explicit, first to their families, then as justification for friends and acquaintances, that they are disappointed in how their lives are by literally pointing out to imagined lives they saw on Faceboo

If you need to use the GPIOs, have size or power consumption restrictions then the Pi makes total sense. But for general purpose computing like a run of the mill home server, a low power x86 can replace a handful of Pis more efficiently.

What they have now is a small subset of "driving" so not really useful to compare as it's misleading at best. Otherwise you could say student drivers are the best drivers since they almost never cause accidents.
