You can do that, but you will lose the "speed" part, obviously.

Super interesting. So, 2.5% of the tests are positive. I heard (it think somewhere else here) that in Germany it is 3%.

Yeah, exactly. With the current numbers where only a handful people are tested, it is really hard to see what is going on.

If this is true, then things like FlattenTheCurve are the wrong approach. We would need StopThatShit asap.

That should have started in winter, when the weather was crap anyway. As soon as it will start getting nice outside, I don't believe you will be able to detain people for long.

You can write that in C++17 with only slightly different syntax (and it is actually really nice for being C++): #include <stdio.h> #include <tuple> std::tuple<int, char> myfunc() { return { 0, 'a' };

Well, of course. But the autopilot will reliably keep the heading whereas the lane assist will not reliably keep the lane.
