@ai6yr lag sucks
And now kills people
@autolycos @ai6yr On the plus side, Internet connectivity is famous for never having unexpected connectivity failures. /s
Thankfully Tesla is a company that is famous for putting public safety ahead of profits and we can be certain they will go to the extra expense of making the entire pathway redundant and will routinely verify failover ability during scheduled out of service times. /s
@scottmiller42 @ai6yr I'm saying it is several hours before April Fool's Day in my time zone
But it's plausibly April Fool's Day in yours
I'm doing to take the moderate stance and misremember Paul Harvey telling a story of a person cornered by a mountain lion and then suggesting if you are, stand your ground, raise your arms, and urinate yourself so it knows you are marking your territory.

@Cyberoutsider @ai6yr 20 years ago, I was working in a research lab which had a focus on road automation.
Beyond driver automation, and self-driving vehicles, there was a big concept that we don't hear enough about.
Public transport. Personal vehicles were envisioned to only be for the last mile, from station to home. Then they would drive themselves to somewhere else where they'd be needed, rather than use prime real estate being uselessly parked there. Some would also be the public transport.
