I think there is about to be some hard inflation with regards to computer hardware. We're already seeing it in RAM and graphics cards. People are going to need to re-evaluate their price expectations very quickly. I'm so glad I al

See, I'm not sure I would feel safer that way. You can stop a Waymo with a couple traffic cones and then rob the occupants. I think busses and trains are way safer. They have transit police and drivers that are able to handle situation

Insurance companies should have to refund your premium when they do this for the time period they are making a decision. It's gotten absurd how badly they are abusing patients.

To be honest, there should be road tests every 5 years for every driver. Maybe even a red flag law so family can request recertification. My grandma was on the road while being half blind. She would merge with zero knowledge of where any ot
