Only touch screen controls for important controls are a safety hazard, and the upcoming safety standards in the EU will withhold the top ratings because of this: https://etsc.eu/cars-will-need-buttons-not-just-touchscreens-to-get-a-5-star-euro-ncap-safety-rating/

Controls for things like the radio or cruise control are fine on the wheel as buttons. Indicators absolutely aren't, and are the example I used for good reason. Honestly I have no words if you cant see that they are an actual safety hazard on something like a roundabout, particularly one you would navigate at speed.

Simple left or right turns at say traffic lights or other junction aren't the problem, trying to activate them while the wheel can be at some random orientation is difficult, so you end up not bothering.

Not signalling when at a round about is an offense in the UK. Its rarely enforced due to lack of traffic police, but its enough that its an actual offense that the car should be designed not to make it considerably harder to use them. In the event of an accident serious enough for the police to get involved if you didn't indicate then that's going to count against you.

Ask them to do the same gesture at a synagogue or other public event

Which ones aren't? Also deciding to copy dumb ideas from elsewhere is even more dumb as someone else did the alpha testing for you, showed it was dumb, and you still copied it.

I forgot the yoke instead of a wheel. That's another Elon special.

Buttons for indicators I know are on modern ferraris, I can't afford one but I still wouldn't buy one because of them. Try using buttons on a steering wheel when doing a right at a roundabout, just the dumbest shit.

BYD is eating everyone's lunch at the bottom not just Tesla.

Tesla could have prospered by sticking to the mid range but their build quality is appalling even for a lower mid car.

Couple that with some truly dumb design ideas from Elon (no lidar, no physical buttons, indicators as buttons, stupidly high repair bills due to design choices) and some even more stupid personal behaviors from him and he has just cut the legs out of his market.

EV buyers who are spending more money care about this kind of thing, budget buyers it is mostly about price.

With a thermostat, smart or dumb, you set a target temperature and a time. With a dumb thermostat it waits till that time and then activates. With a smart thermostat it should learn how long it takes to heat or cool to that target temperature in certain conditions and then aims to hit the target at that point.

So if you got up at 8am and wanted it 20c with a dumb thermostat you got to work out when it needs to go on in order to hit that as no heating system is instant on something the size of a house, with a smart thermostat with learning you do not need to do that at all, just set it for 8am.

As no system is working in a vacuum how hot or cool it is outside, even how sunny it is, has a big impact on how quickly your system heats or cools. Being able to measure and compensate for the outside temperature means the actual start time can be adjusted for you. This can save significant amount of cash.

As an example, lets say the outside temperature was going to be -10c 6am till 8am and you wanted it 20c by 8am. Doing it with a dumb thermostat you would either have to live with an under or overshoot on temperature. Say next day its 2C, now you need to adjust your overshoot again. With a smart thermostat I do not need to do that at all.

Sure, you can just live with the under/overshoot, but its better for your bills and better for the environment not to.

I switched from Sync to Summit when I finally gave up on the sync dev ever doing anything more. Summit has frequent updates and fills the same spot for me as Sync, which is important to me as I used sync with reddit for a long time.

Aren't the robo taxis remotely supervised as well? Not really level 4 if somebody is having to do that.

Start with all the US held games of the World Cup next year, would make quite the statement if the Mexican and Canadian held legs sold out but the US did not. Would be noticed by Trump as well as hes been cosying up to the head of UEFA

Yeah that sounds awful. I am doing the full UK and they give you a reference booklet for the exam that covers a lot of the basic rules like that to crib from. Only thing I do not like with the UK exam is having to memorize the block diagrams for all the different transceivers, completely pointless IMO as who would troubleshoot or build a transceiver without an online reference in this day and age?

Best of luck with your exam!

Whats the Ham license exams like in Japan?

The setup changes Red Bull made based on the late simulator runs seems to have made it competitive at the expense of making jt hard to drive.

Does not look good for Red Bull if they haven't tamed that same behaviour from last year as eventually it got so bad even Max couldn't drive it. Does not bode well for their season.

Lawson is clearly struggling because of this, as did Checo as they just aren't that the same level as Max in a bad car. Yuki is doing so well, and Red Bull will be like "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that."

This would be like you downloading a dvd iso from TPB, then pressing millions of copies of it, then selling it online via Amazon. As openai is trying to directly profit from the work they "stole"
