There are more popular sites than Bike radar?! Fcuk me.orraloon said:Is 'zing one of these paid-for soshul meejah 'influencers'? He/she/it would be better off peddling the wares on a more popular site. Or is he/she/it just in training for such? If so, needs to refine the tactics.

YTD Tesla down 72%. Oof.
I'm guessing that investors can't see any evidence of Musk realising he's going down a rabbit hole, or is aware of his own limitations. He's behaving like some teenager in his bedroom thinking he knows everything and trying to prove that to the internet, and, I suspect, unwilling to be advised to tidy his bedroom and come down to dinner instead.0 -
Pr1ck's gonna keep on pr1cking. Shame the investment funds bought into the bubble.0

And it's still the largest car company in the world by market cap. By miles. Long way down to go yet.rick_chasey said:YTD Tesla down 72%. Oof.

It's really not. They're stuck to the side of the launch vehicle on the way up and they don't have their feet out.pinno said:0 -
Just watched Glass Onion on Netflix.
One person came to mind. Wonder why? 😉The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Self driving cars has been such a massive cul-de-sac. The technology is just not ready for it. Billions spent on it and they're a long long way off.0

For all humans' brains' faults, they are still totally awesome in what they manage to do with the modern world... when I look at the 'chaos' of road traffic, and the very fine tolerances between safety and death, I find it extraordinary that there aren't way more accidents.rick_chasey said:Self driving cars has been such a massive cul-de-sac.

Overrated IMO, unless you count getting back from the pub when you've had a few."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Probably wouldn't have been a crash if the cars behind were driverless.0

Quite possibly... given that there would have been none of those humans around making up their own minds, like pedestrians are wont to do, and cyclists too.TheBigBean said:Probably wouldn't have been a crash if the cars behind were driverless.
The problem with human brains is all the assumptions that they've learnt they mostly can get away with, in order to focus on the central (variable) activity at any one time: we tend to think we're aware of a lot more than our brains are actually actively assessing, and it's only when something unusual happens that the brain refocuses, and where the dangers lurk, as this won't be as logical as a computer... there's a trade-off between speed of action and fullness of stimulus analysis. Try and match up humans' processing prowess and computers' abilities, and it's no wonder it's so hard to get right enough of the time to trust, when the stakes are so high for the humans if something goes wrong.0 -
You could have just said insufficient braking distances. 😉briantrumpet said:

Self-driving cars wouldn't move around my neck of the woods when the kids are going to and from school the way they just walk across the roads without even looking if anything is coming. Some would argue that's a good thing as it would make driving pointless so everyone would walk or cycle instead.0

That's another also more succinct way of saying what I said.0 -
Be careful, or that stickler @briantrumpet will be along saying that this ought to be in the cars thread.0

You mean self-driving cars might drive at a suitable speed for the area?Pross said:Self-driving cars wouldn't move around my neck of the woods when the kids are going to and from school the way they just walk across the roads without even looking if anything is coming.

If not moving for half an hour is a suitable speed then yes.TheBigBean said:

It will evolve, the code/hardware refined. Humans will always be more fallible statistically.
If you don't agree, you should go live in a cave and make wicker $h1t. Why are you using this wonderful evolving technology to communicate?
