Phoenix. Don’t ever make the mistake of moving there or you’ll have a hard time leaving. It’s the closest thing to purgatory I’ve ever experienced. I certainly aged, but I don’t think I matured a day while I was there.
It just dawned on me that no matter what, we have a wasted seat on self-driving taxis because we still put a wheel and pedals that are expected to go unused in the vehicle. I think this would help highlight just how unsafe this concept really is. With the wheel and pedals there, maybe it’s giving people more of an illusion of control or something, because I feel like having nothing there would make people a lot less comfortable, even though that’s the reality of the situation.
Edit: people keep bringing up ways this could be used, and that we do it for cost-cutting, but this still doesn’t detract from the reality of how they were actually deployed before these concerns were addressed. They’re not even commenting on it and letting the consumer fill in their PR’s gaps for them.
The quotes make it feel like it’s being sarcastic about the suggestion.
Everything is going to be okay
I think the scariest thing to read in Braille would be “turn back and run now!”
Does the screeching chill your blood and herald death? If yes, banshee. If no, seagull.
I love these. Just the idea of him being a frat bro is hilarious to me.
Just take their license. Driving is a privilege not a right. You are putting others in danger when you drive dangerously and just because you don’t like the laws and can afford it doesn’t mean you should be allowed to ignore them.
Of course, taking a license won’t stop them from getting in a car and driving it, but it will dramatically increase consequences for getting caught ignoring it.
I mentioned in a previous thread about this that car suspension behaves weird when you’re accelerating and it unexpectedly lets off. I believe it’s referred to as off-throttle oversteer. You also remove headroom for reacting to other drivers, even if you are a shitty one. This will only make those pushing the limits of these things even more dangerous.
I only have two hands and holding two guns makes both of them useless.
Darn. Too bad. I tried…
Infra is about 10GB and is an excellent case of a “walking simulator” done right. Wildly detailed environments and lots of environmental storytelling. I’ve spent entirely too long getting lost in it.
I apologize for nothing.
* The shame of forgetting!
It’s the world’s biggest parking lot. Every tree is artificial unless it’s a cactus. The few places you can climb give you a great view of said parking lot. It’s 40 miles wide and can take over an hour to cross, yet bizarrely, everywhere you need to be is 30 minutes away. Some street intersections require multiple passes of building prior knowledge to safely traverse.
I seen my first 8 years there riding the public transport there and it’s an entirely separate hell. Everything goes from 30 minutes away to anywhere from an hour to 90 or more. I would say about 6 months of my time spent there must have been traveling.
And never to go anywhere actually interesting. Everything is one or two floors unless it’s an office building you’ll likely never have the lifestyle to be a part of unless it’s a temp gig.
They are neighborhoods so similar, miles apart from each other that I almost knocked on the wrong friend’s door before I realized I had driven to the wrong place.
I could go on…
