   Forgive my laziness, but the last time I did any long research about self-driving cars, I understood that the problem of night-time driving and driving in precipitation still hadn't been solved. Anyone know if this is still the case?

   Slightly off-topic: am I naive to believe that my personal system of password management is just about as good something like 1Password or LastPass? Hear me out. My passwords are generated as follows: [Low|Med|Hi] + [Key] + [Initials] + [Nu
