There was a prostitute in the Bay Area that would OD techies and steal their poo poo. But sadly because she used heroin instead of manufacturing a car and the police stopped her

Stereotype posted:that truck driver is lucky as poo poo this idiot was using autopilot or else he would be held at fault for making that turn and causing a death. eh, people pull out in potentially too small a window all the time, they just assume that the oncoming cars are driven by a human actually looking where they're loving going. like, driving defensively is something everyone and thing should be capable of doing. it's no good being on the right side of the road rules if you're on the wrong side of an improvised guillotine. the tolerances for any feature calling itself autopilot must be an order of magnitude tighter when employed in a situation where the circumstances can change in seconds like that. there's a world of difference compared to a maritime or aerial autopilot with lower traffic considerations, much longer timespans for interaction due to longer sight via radar, and even with all that you're still required to keep a 100% visual look out at all times because we know what happens when eggs get put in one basket.

personal experience has taught me that truckers are above the law, because my grandmother was killed due to a trucker making an illegal u-turn on the thruway at 5 AM with his lights off, causing my grandpa to slam into the back of the truck at full speed all he got was a traffic ticket for making an illegal u-turn, something like $100. for killing my grandma.
