If you out of gas, someone can get you going again with a jerry can. If an EV runs out, you might have to call a tow truck or cancel your trip. IMO range anxiety would be solved if EVs had a "jerry can".

Python's json is an often-quoted example of why not to have it in the standard lib. There are some bad defaults that no one can fix for stability reasons. Though I admit it does come in handy sometimes. In production, I've lately

Self-driving cars already make the news when they crush pedestrians or plow themselves into trucks on the highway. Companies are still pushing/pursuing the tech. Why would the public response to LLM's be different?
