But can you tell how much longer the battery will keep working?
When I worked at Google I seriously had someone try to tell me that making a key fob waterproof was challenging. I never did figure out what that guy was thinking.
Why do people still visit Dubai? There’s all kinds of harmless or relatively minor stuff that can get you thrown in prison there. I wouldn’t even change planes in that theocratic shithole.

There was no nuance in what you posted. Being a dick about it is a sign of low emotional intelligence. As is responding with a Star Wars quote that implies anyone saying it is a Sith.
We will condemn Hamas again, too, if it matters.
Spoiler: it never mattered.
Man, I’m learning some weird stuff about British people. I’ve never heard of encephalitis being associated with HIV or a nonce being any kind of person.
How pavlovian!
Would you prefer to live in a world without antibiotics?
I’ve heard their business-oriented products are much much better. Which makes sense, because business customers tend to have contracts that cost the supplier money when things don’t work, whereas pissing off consumers usually costs nothing in the short term.
Yeah. Living in a rural area wouldn’t be so bad if it didn’t involve living around people like my mom’s redneck siblings.
I see a lot of people in this thread saying a car that needs any kind of indication of self-driving isn’t safe enough to be on the road, but that implies a single answer to questions like “is it safe enough?” In reality, different people will answer that question differently and their answer will change over time. I see it as a good thing to try to accommodate people who view self-driving cars as unsafe even when they are street-legal. So it’s not really a safety feature from all perspectives, but it is from the perspective of people who want to be extra cautious around those cars.
Personally I see an argument for self-driving cars that aren’t as safe as a average human driver. It’s basically the same reason you sometimes see cars with warning signs about student drivers: we wouldn’t consider student drivers safe enough to drive except that it’s a necessary part of producing safe drivers. Self-driving cars are the same, except that instead of individual drivers, its self-driving technology that we expect to improve and eventually become safer than human drivers.
Another way to to look at it is that there are a lot of drivers who are below-average in their driving safety for a variety of reasons, but we still consider them safe enough to drive. Think of people who are tired, emotional, distracted, ill, etc. It would be nice to have the same warning lights for those drivers, but since that’s not practical, having them only for self-driving cars is better than nothing.
The ACC in my car maintains a good bit of distance to the car ahead and doesn’t respond suddenly to things coming closer than that distance. I’ve rarely if ever seen it brake inappropriately.
Jesus Christ that’s the most pointlessly cynical thing I’ve read in a long time.
They’re pretty common in the US as well, but it’s just a sign that says “student driver”.
I’ve also seen orange triangles used in vehicles like horse-drawn carriages that can’t go as fast as regular traffic, mostly in connection to Amish people.
But I guess Mercedes already wrote that law for our government to copy. How convenient.
How dare a company try to work with governments to create a new safety feature!
Magnets? How do they work?
