Which seems likely to me to be a relatively new legal status carved out specifically for autonomous vehicles. In a pre-AV world, my impression has been that it's been absolutely illegal to remotely operate vehicles on public roads. Ma

So was the Cruise vehicle being remotely operated when it dragged the pedestrian 20 feet? (That's the impression I've had since this was initially reported) The whole act of remotely operating automobiles on public streets strike

It sounds like you might enjoy the cold far more than I do. Back in the Nokia N900 era I had an employment opportunity to hack on Linux stuff with them, but it required relocating from my home (at the time) in Illinois to Finland, which the

YouTube is insufferable for me without youtube-dl/yt-dlp and watching with a proper player like mpv locally. Skipping around without a bunch of buffering lag and ability to increase volume up to 300% in poorly recorded/mixed video

> Man, you hate Americans, why do you live here? Honest question. I didn't realize my comment amounted to hatred just because I don't want the average (or worse) domestic to share a home with me. Where is it better? Do they s

You'd have to be actively ignoring reality to not know of Tesla's problems in the autonomy department. Just search for phantom braking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HDbDXeRSPw That's not even getting into

I suspect the greater shortcoming isn't in the sensor suite department, but the intelligence department. Either way, what Tesla's putting on public roads currently seems criminally negligent and I simply don't understand why

One of the interesting aspects of the Librem 5 is putting the cellular component on USB rather than something like PCI, substantially limiting the baseband's reach. Part of why the Librem 5 is such a big heavy and chunky device is it&
