Jonty WareingThings I regret: Looking at github issues for the open-source self-driving car conversion kit.
Thousands of people use these things on public roads.
Candidate for understatement of the year: "This can be a safety issue if a driver is misled into thinking that steering is occurring"
The most damning evidence I've ever seen for "this device is only used by single people":
If you have a passenger they *also* have to be looking at the road or it sets off the "pay attention" alarm.
Or they can put their head on the dashboard.
Honestly the funniest thing I've seen this year. I know it's only mid-January, but still.
James Smith 💾@jonty what the actual fuck have you found‽
@jonty it blows my mind that someone sells a device that sticks onto the windscreen, and people plug it into their car's CANbus and let it drive them around.
10,000 users on the roads, and a disclaimer that says "THIS IS ALPHA QUALITY SOFTWARE FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLYING WITH LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED."
I'm beginning to think humans were a mistake, let alone computers.
