It’s just interesting to me how radicalized the Internet is nowadays. Any excuse to bring up a way to shit on the US is jumped at. Especially on Lemmy. I’m starting to wondering if that’s the point of Lemmy as well.
It’s not like the small communities here are surviving.
Always weird how excited people are to shoehorn blaming the US imo
Yeah wtf. I was looking forward to season 2
I understand. Self driving is making progression, and I can understand the concern.
Like I said, I thought you were saying the indicator was the issue, not the self driving. I don’t know the facts behind self driving, and it’s definitely above my paygrade, so I have no room to give opinions. I think progression is cool though, if it’s proven safe
To be fair though, you did skip the limitations.
that can only be used in limited situations and in certain (geo-fenced) areas, like in heavy traffic on select highways at speeds of 40 MPH or less. Drive Pilot is also limited to daytime use and during clear weather, and cannot be used in construction zones. Furthermore, the driver is not allowed to fall asleep or leave the driver’s seat
Oh my bad. I somehow thought you were implying the light was going to give them the pass… You are talking about self driving cars in general though.
That’s been a thing though, would you like that progress to stop? I guess /fuckcars is a real popular movement online so we can have different opinions on that.
Ive read those 7 paragraphs a couple times now, and I don’t see anything about getting a legal pass. Maybe you could quote it for me?
I have missed things due to ads covering things up on mobile on the past.
The article says they are allowed to test the new indicators in those States, not that they get a legal pass…
In California, the permit will let Mercedes-Benz trial turquoise lights on test vehicles for two years. In Nevada, the automaker can start adding the feature to 2026 year production vehicles
Do you think it’s a better scenario for less awareness of self driving cars? If self driving is part of the future, this seems like a reasonable step imo.
I don’t think I understand how adding safety indicators to elevate awareness of self driving vehicles helps rich people avoid all consequence.
As a poor person, I’d like to know if a car I’m driving by is self driving.
Also, like you said… incidents, not accidents.
accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations
Which I bet includes things like parking tickets and all that. Tbh, seems like most “studies” posted to Lemmy are crap tbh
I didn’t say “not have a choice” though. I said people are likely tired of others making the choice for them, whether it be minority or majority. Especially when individual choice is possible.
I think most people are tired of others making choices for them, rather than explicitly being in favor of federating with Threads.
Imagine being able to buy a brand new 90s Corolla for 10k. That’d be nice
Death, taxes and this post on Lemmy
You must be a car driving capitalist tankie to be hatting on this place.
jk, I definitely agree. This place is way more radicalized than Reddit, or at least it isn’t nearly as diluted by bots so it seems more prominent… Some dope people around here but I’m definitely losing hope that this place will grow into a cool place.
It’s all the same topic posts and the same hateful comments, but you can’t even find small active communities to get away from it.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Non American Internet users likely talk American politics just as much as Americans. Even if it is just to criticize Americans
Oh I hate this argument.
With an election year next year, politics is about to get shoe horned into everything with the “(insert subject) is politics” is justification.
I think most people think of technology as scientific based rather than social media trends and events.
Tbh 21.6% of Americans being bilingual is way better than I would have guessed. It makes sense that Europeans speak more languages. If each of our states spoke different languages rather than English being a national language, I’d imagine our numbers would be a lot higher.
Not going to lie, I really hate when the internet gets a new favorite phrase. Destroys discussion on the subjects and feels like it’s a race for commenters to say the hit phrase.
