Sorry, not really sorry. It has been well documented that any of the big tech companies will thankfully flush you and all you've build down the drain whenever they feel like that. You'll also probably never be able to talk to some

Why do you think so? I've got the impression that HN is using _lots of_ varying platforms, it's not like Apple is vastly prefered (or looked down to) around here.

While I find this really awful, it should be clear to everybody, and especially to her, that this is how those dictatorships work. These are extremly wealthy shitholes who give nothing about democratic principles or human life at all. You e

I would _totally_ support that, too, yes. But that actual law in the US is just so far away from that, don't see how that would be possible.

It does believe in German law, but the author is neither German nor an European citizen, but a customer of a US company. GDPR does not apply to him.

tldr; but is this an American complaining that a US-based company is collecting lots of data and does not want to tell him which exactly, so he starts pulling out the GDPR because the mother company is EU-based? That contains quite some iro

Ah, I didn't even spot Volvo and Cadillac between all those brands that sound like they are trying to sell USB hubs and t-shirts on Amazon.

Ok, so we put 15 other cars in a row next to the Tesla and that other car and they will probably (hopefully) all stop and the Tesla will not. That's a serious issue with Tesla then, I see. On the other hand: It proves nothing for LiDAR

This is a strange advertisement for LiDAR or a strange hit into Teslas' direction. Also it looks like only unknown brands are to integrate LiDAR tech. What about the big brands? Do $bigbrand cars with collision detection/emergency

That's what's really holding me back from getting an American car. Just fearing that somebody might hit my car and then it's over.

Yeah sorry, English is not my native language, sometimes I'm missing the right words and descriptions. You can let loose of the steering wheel and will keep you in the lane, too. But only for a few seconds...

As manicdee said it prevents you from drifting out of the lane. Also "active input" is possibly a bit of a stretch. The system checks whether you are providing some force "against" the motion of the steering wheel. It&#x

This is already integrated, at least in my Hyundai Kona Electro. Lane holding assist and adaptive cruise control only works for speeds up to 170 km/h (which is also very near max speed for the electric version, to be honest), while you

I knew somebody who was working in the "sterilization department" of a large hospital. I think he was "cleaning" and re-sterilizing things like clamps and tweezers and whatnot. Isn't that good practice and everythin
