I don't "trust" autopilot any more than I "trust" basic cruise control. They are both nice to have, though.

Yeah, and the Mach-E was delayed by several months as well. It wouldn't be shocking if this ends up being more like late 2022, at least for any significant volume. Not that its an issue. People focus a little too much on initial ship d

I love driving, but AP is also really useful on the highway and long stretches of road in general. Its a much bigger advantage than I expected, tbh. Ford has something similar, but it fails more unexpectedly and often. Although, Tesla AP st

As far as I know, Ford is capacity constrained to the point that they will only be able to ship ~50k Mach-E's this year. Not only that, but the phaseout process for rebates is VERY slow. Its likely they will still have at least some re

To be fair, that effect is mostly counteracted by the reduction in tanker trunks from going to an EV. The F150 Lightning will have this advantage too, of course.

Well, that and going into the dealer for a simple software recall is really bad for the consumer. I've had it happen with other cars and its just not a good experience. Add that the dealer always has an upsell ready and its even worse.

Do you need any? Do you really think people struggle at going between CNN, Foxnews, and MSNBC? Ok, things get harder when we talk about shopping carts, logins, and other details, but even there not all good flows have to look the same in li

I've found that people dismiss the idea of a Pi as a router, but in practice it actually works really well. Performance is really close to 1Gb and the software stack is as versatile and maintainable as it can be.

Frankly, I'm glad the whole "consistent UI is king" era has ended. It largely grew as a reaction to the DOS era when everything was keyboard shortcuts and memorization was key. All the differing approaches made using differen

Forget? No, but that's ultimately up to the property owner to fix it. It is certainly no more onerous than a lot of amenities that they already provide. We have several here that have pretty good charging setups, and that will only imp

At least 75% of Americans live in houses. A garage isn't necessary, just a driveway with access to an outlet.

That is a downside, the "the" downside. I'm not even convinced that it is close to the biggest issue, considering the obvious counterarguments. Not all tax costs have direct benefits to the payer. That is a feature, not a bug

That sounds like a good bargain. The downside is that the MTA would no longer have as good of a reason to incentivize ridership. I feel like there'd be a lot of negative side effects to a change like that.

Well, my issue is that these are issued on arrest because that news feed is considered newsworthy. Their later conviction or lack thereof often doesn't gather nearly as much press. It can be pretty horrible for a person when a Google s

That's fair and I guess highlights that I wasn't thinking about exploratory writing or even fiction. It is definitely very different if you aren't starting the writing process with an end in mind.

Its a general problem with "revolutionary" breakthroughs with batteries. Its not that they are bad at all, but the most promising ones have timeframes that move them back into incremental enhancement. The good news, though? EVs wi

The problem is that this overthinks the problem. There are basically three classes of people in play here: - The jokesters that manipulate the vehicle with a foot or something. There are very few of these in general, as there really isn&#x2

I feel the same way. It seems like the government wouldn't do it, but was practically encouraging the company to pay.

There is very little that can be done to stop someone who is intentionally trying to violate safety checks. Sadly, the folks who try to ultimately make things worse for all of us.

Yeah, its 7 seats in the same sense as the Tesla Model Y can be a 7 seater. Its technically true, but really only true if some of those people are small. Even with FAA standard people it would be small for 7.

I'm not sure what there is to disagree with. Fire around gasoline is dangerous for a number of reasons, but liquid gasoline pooled just isn't as volatile as people imagine. The vapors are different. See both sides of this coin her
