They tested a LiDAR rigged car, and it stopped just like you predicted. As of 2021, Tesla uses only cameras for FSD, and not even radar (which my stupid fine Toyota truck has).

They tested the idea safely by building the wall out of styrofoam, or at least that's what it looks like when it blows apart :)

Aw come on, I thought the lasers versus watermelons demo was a lot of fun, and if that isn't mad science, I don't know what is

The scientists in Ireland calling their data set to prevent this exact fucking thing "Coyote" sent me over the moon.

That is an absolute no-brainer. Pay aside, take care of family.

That's the whole purpose of the pay anyhow, money is just an odd totem that we allow to take care of our families.

I thought it was funny... if I have to explain the joke, though, maybe it wasn't that funny!

Like, King of Hammers is just about the hardest off-road race there is. The hard parts of King of Hammers do not look like a parking lot. The hard parts look like the picture below.

Last week, Ars Technica broke the news that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) quietly took down their 2022 crash data, for the rumored purpose to scrub gender data from its Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). At the time, the records had simply vanished from the public database, leaving only speculation... now that the data has been reposted, we see that Ars Technica had it exactly right.

 

Here’s a story you all saw coming. If a new model pickup truck is on the road for any amount of time, somebody is going to ram a deer with it! What makes this collision unique is the pickup truck in question: a 2024 Tesla CyberTruck. The headline tells much of the […]
