They did publish a video of a crash test, but I think Tesla did it themselves and didn't publish any data, just a "comparison video" with an F150 Lightning.

It didn't look great... A lot of people were pointing out how tiny the crumple zone is, and the stop seemed more violent than most vehicles.

I'm definitely a fan of the Lightning, but it's a huge truck, similar to a Raptor in length. It wouldn't fit in my driveway. They need an EV Mavick or Ranger. (I've heard rumors of a Ranger PHEV, which could be a game changer for EV towing)

There's actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.

It's more than a clickbait headline, the first paragraph is just flat out wrong:

Perhaps best of all, it consumes no energy doing it.

Obviously it's consuming energy going uphill. Just because the power source is gravity doesn't mean it's not consuming energy.

Is that if the channel is inactive, or the viewer's account? It seems like if you watch anything else, it's not a problem, but if you're only subscribed to 1 infrequent channel you might have that problem?

I'd click on the link, but then I'd be contributing to the stats.

I do remember seeing this tweet quoted on the Elon missed prediction tracker: https://elonmusk.today/

Taylor Swift moving to another platform would absolutely cause a massive crowd to follow. Maybe we'll see it happen one day.

"I'm going to shoot you in the face" - Man who can't stop lying if their life depended on it.

"I don't believe you" - Last words of person shot in face.

Maybe lets not risk it.

Trump has also tried to cut medicare several times, while Harris wants to put a cap on out-of-pocket prescription prices and actually improve things instead of blaming everything on immigrants.

I don't appreciate your whataboutism. You're arguing like it's one or the other, bodily autonomy or better healthcare. The goal should be both. They're not conflicting issues.

I've been able to get demos of autopilot in one of my friend's cars, and I'll always remember autopilot correctly stopping at a red light, followed by someone in the next lane over blowing right through it several seconds later at full speed.

Unfortunately "better than the worst human driver" is a bar we passed a long time ago. From recent demos I'd say we're getting close to the "average driver", at least for clear visibility conditions, but I don't think even that's enough to have actually driverless cars driving around.

There were over 9M car crashes with almost 40k deaths in the US in 2020, and that would be insane to just decide that's acceptable for self driving cars as well. No company is going to want that blood on their hands.

That doesn't sound like a self-driving car to me.

The driver's tweet says it kept going, but I didn't find the full video.
