Half Life 1 and 2 both feel like quantum leaps into the future in this context.
But I am glad that Mirror’s Edge got the feature, just on style alone :) Portal too (and Portal 2)

Hard to put a finger on it, but there’s persistent questions about stock price fixing. A constant joke across Tesla-watching forums. I wouldn’t touch that stock with a ten foot pole, it’s got a fuse and I’d bet dollars to donuts it is already lit.

Waymo is an Alphabet… bet?
Alphabet: -7% YoY Tesla: +74% YoY
The brownshirt fanboys are an underestimated financial market force. Throw official corruption into the mix. And why not untraceable crypto money from god-knows-who, because the 4d chess board was just too simple without it.

I mean, we probably shouldn’t concern ourselves TOO much with the profitability of a Google subsidiary and the pet project of the world’s richest man. I think they’ll figure out the monetization side of things. We should be laser focused on safety, which Waymo is certainly doing to a much higher degree than Tesla.
KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Self-Driving Tesla Fails School Bus Test, Hitting Child-Size Dummies… Meanwhile, Robo-Taxis Hit the Road in 2 Weeks.3·2 months agoSomeone else mentioned that over on Reddit, in a very clapback sort of way. Would you happen to be in Texas? I’m learning all about regional traffic law variations :D
So, my thought here: the stop sign is simply not recognized by the vehicle. It didn’t see the stop sign and decide “legally, I have the right of way.” The stop sign just doesn’t appear on the visualization, cameras failed to register the blinking lit up sign, and thus the computer thought it had the right of way.
As a separate critical fuckup, it only realized the pedestrian was a pedestrian like a millisecond before impact. It wasn’t a good test performance at all.

KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Toyota Tacoma Tailgate Thefts Are Soaring... As Thousands Pop Up for Sale on Facebook Marketplace3·4 months agoI guess, the word got out, or the economy got bad enough where suddenly lots of folks are doing it? Or the easiness of fencing the tailgates on social media is encouraging folks who wouldn’t know how to sell a catalytic converter to get into the “steal components” game? Not totally sure!
I am sure that it’s newly cropping up as a common problem. It’s all over the Tacoma subreddit, even the news is covering it (local news in Alameda covered a chop-shop bust that was targeting Tacomas specifically, and that was like, 2 days ago).
So yeah, I’m as mystified as you are. I explained the removable tailgate concept just for folks who maybe never drove a pickup truck or the many folks who don’t use that feature.
(Edit: and thanks for the dealership insights! I never drove any F-Series other than the F-150, so I had no idea how the heavy duty models handled tailgate features)

KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Spotted on the US Gulf Coast today getting gas. Anyone know what make/model this is?2·4 months agoThat’s a 1920s Mercedes Roadster, I think. Unclear if a replica or original.
If for sale for $10,000:
- I will buy it. Ain’t nothing on 4 wheels that will drive is for sale for 10K.
- It must be the replica.
I love these birds too!

Stellantis gets paid by SiriusXM for every unit they ship with this crap pre-installed. SiriusXM gets paid by either themselves, when they advertise SiriusXM membership to drivers, or they get paid by advertisers. The Mopar Extended Warranty, I bet Mopar is paying for the ad placements.
KayLeadfoot@fedia.ioOPto Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•Dodge Chargers Now Have Pop-Up Ads at Every Stoplight8·5 months agoI’d bet dollars to donuts it’s the free trial for SiriusXM.
When this happened on Jeep vehicles, an apparent Stellantis employee responded on a thread about it. Here’s what they said:
“Thank you for tagging us and we are certainly sorry to hear of the frustration this has caused you. At this time, we advise that customers click the large [X] in the corner to close out and clear stored notifications from the vehicle. It should also be noted that ads are part of your contractual agreement with Sirius XM, but we are working on the frequency. Thank you for your patience.”
Lol, they still haven’t “worked on” the frequency 534 days later.

If the early fan reaction to the electric Scatpack are any indication, people won’t be lining up to buy it, so expect more of the same.
