The Titanic probably wouldn't have sunk if it hit the iceberg head on. Clearly the Tesla simply mistook the train for an iceberg and itself for an ocean-liner and opted for a more ideal collision. The driver should have disabled 'sea mode' if they didn't want that behavior, it's all clearly spelled out in the owners manual.

If it's not fully capable of self driving then maybe they shouldn't call it full self driving

Agreed, if your car can do the job that's clearly the most sensible option. But either scenario this goofy robot solves nothing. Either your car can pull the trailer itself, or it should be left at home while you rent something that can. Deliberately renting a robot truck with no seats that forces you to also bring a car would be silly

sure, but my point was the car is unnecessary in this scenario. you're already renting another vehicle to tow the trailer, get one with a drivers seat and passenger compartment instead of using 2 vehicles to move 1 trailer

it doesn't solve it though, it just adds a second vehicle to the mix that can actually do the job. this is literally just a truck but worse, because now you need a car in front to carry passengers and steer this goofy thing. just rent a truck for the day and leave the car at home

or, hear me out now, we put a passenger compartment and driver controls on the vehicle capable of towing and leave the car at home. why reinvent the wheel when rental trucks exist here and now?

if you're already renting something to tow a trailer just rent a truck and leave the car at home. if you're moving or something and need to bring your car, put the car on a trailer and pull it behind a box truck. I guarantee it's more efficient having one vehicle towing one trailer than having two vehicles towing one trailer.

it's too bad the stock launcher on android doesn't let you change app logos. you can do it using most 3rd party launchers, but that's probably not worth it for that one feature

TIL how to link to communities on other instances in a way that keeps you on your own instance. thanks for that!

I bought these things on amazon and they've been super helpful, just push the button in for the day as you take it. doesn't help me remember to take my meds but at least I can easily tell if I have taken my meds
