You are right about this and we were both surprised at how sober Burning Man was. The media literally used the phrase "drug-fueled orgy" to describe Burning Man that year. Given all the nudity and psychedelic nature of the event I

Or flick your high beams, quick beeps, adjust speed... I do all these things if I see anything on a collision course with my vehicle. It is surprising to learn that these vehicles are operating at night. To collect training data, since nigh
