I think the lane assist in Toyotas and Mazdas shows you when it has detecteda e markings to your left/right. So you may be able to decide whether you trust that. Anyhow it's an assist only anyway so it wouldn't veer off the road following a skid marks anyway.
The assist on my Mazda is very subtle even if you turn up intervention all the way, it only really kicks in if it thinks you are drifting out of your lane.

I also have a Honda with their Level 2 system and it only works at highway speed and only provides like 75% of the needed steering input, so you still have to have at least one hand on the wheel actively steering. You can safely take your hands off the wheel for a few seconds if you’re going straight though.

Hey how do I raise 2 billion dollars to clearly waste

people throw around "2 billion dollar cash raise" like it's just a switch you can throw. Where is that switch. I want to throw it.

you have to have billions to start with I think, after that it doesn't matter how much of a gently caress up you are you'll get away with it every time

people who bought into the last raise just 2 weeks ago are already down almost 10%

In other news SpaceX scrubbed the launch of their 60 test Starlink satellites in order to 'triple check' things and update the satellites software. Which is really strange since I figure you'd know about the software update before the launch, and supposedly you can update these things while they are in the air. I guess that means it's a software update is for once the satellites are released from the Rocket and need to position themselves properly. This is the second scrub of this launch, they were originally scheduled to go May 15 then last night and now the next launch window is in a week.

There's a lot to write about Starlink it's got a lot of the typical Elon things going on.

I had thought the most recent commit just locks them on firehouses and tries to drop satellites on them from orbit to make the roads safer for the rest of the autopilot fleet.

a popular conspiracy theory in Tesla circles right now is that China is somehow responsible for the fires being reported, either intentionally setting them or covering up mythical fake Tesla battery packs.

OK dude you are obviously invested in seeing Tesla fail so I don't see why anyone should listen to what you have to say. Elon is trying to save the world and you're just talking poo poo. What have YOU done to fight global climate change? Furthermore,

There are no alerts when you take your hands off until:
Visual Alert at 45 seconds
Audio alert at 60 seconds.
At 90 seconds it just stops the car in the middle of wherever you are highways included.
