You forgot Apple, which seems to have abandoned most of its AV plans, or at least reduced their emphasis on it. My personal opinion is that L4 is probably doable, but only in some places, and L5 is way off in the future.
I think that's the nub of it. If the autopilot is reassuringly good, I'd probably fall asleep at some point in a 6 hour drive. I can't really imagine a scenario in which waking me before the inevitable is going to help, ie L3 is a bust. We already know L2 leads to overconfidence. The big boys are banking on L4/L5, which are indistinguishable to the user, except one operates in a limited geography, and the other is the stuff of fairy tales.
Then you have a different ACC to some, or have explained how it works badly. Mine will slow down, but at a certain speed it bleeps and returns control to me. My guess is that speed is set such that a non responsive driver will merely be embarrassed and poorer, rather than hurt, and hopefully the people in the car in front will be OK.
Your work is not very hard. You will be replaced by robots. TBH I have always been able to code after a long night at the pub, in fact I used to deliberately reserve doing 'the boring bits' to when I was drunk. I must admit that writing code seems to me like carpentry. So long as the bookshelves stay up who gives a fuck about the exact design or workmanship?
In my real work none of this applies, but coding, tis a laborer's job, not a profession.
That's actually a pretty interesting response. I don't think you've proved anything, since people who buy new cars are by definition not exactly on on struggle street.
So perhaps the demographic is 'people who have second, third or fourth cars that are worth trading in' buy a new subsidized replacement at an overall cost to the USA taxpayer of $4 billion .
Sorry mate, wrong door. Pointless diatribes is second on the left. (that's obMP, snowflake).
I confess i do not know how to run a trillion dollar economy. i don't know how to keep 100 million people working effectively and usefully and enjoyably.
BUT I AM PRETTY FUCKING CERTAIN THAT SUBSIDISING RICH PEOPLE'S SECOND THIRD OR FOURTH CARS IS NOT A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM THAT MATTERS.
So the USA taxpayer has paid about $4 billion in subsidies so that rich people can have another new car. Woo Fucking Hoo. MAGA. (/. warning to snowflakes, there may be sarcasm).
I assume you've seen the graphs from BP's energy summary for 2018? lalala indeed.
Yes, Australia is wrecking its electricity generating network.
Like i say, i don't need to publish anything, the data is out there. People don't care and for the most part are doing nothing much about climate change.
Why bother? it's not as if any effective or expensive changes are being made at the moment. Politicians still fly around first class to meet climate sciency activists at parties around the world. The USA is decarbonising a little because NG is cheaper than coal. The EU has just built another coal power station. China and India are building hundreds if not thousands of coal stations. Some silly democracies are wrecking their electricity grids, but they don't really matter and don't make any difference.
So far as I can tell when it comes to actually doing something, nothing much is happening. So the rest of the world seems to agree with me, this is just more climate sciency activism. I don't need to publish anything, the real world has already seen through the bluff.
Six more things to add to the long list of failed predictions. I can't remember how many 'tipping points' we've been through, or 'last chances to act' that we've missed since 1973, or how many catastrophic outcomes have failed to eventuate or will require unlikely accelerations in trends, but it must be more than a dozen.
Here's a link to the current state of energy consumption worldwide. As you can see fossil fuels are growing, and recyclables are not keeping up with increased demand, never mind making inroads into the fossil fuel demand
So you bought 100 shares at 265. Are you hoping they'll rise in the short term and then blow them off, or are you looking for a long term capital gain? I assume you aren't in it for dividends. What is your exit strategy?

MBAs enhancing shareholder value are doing exactly what they should, that is their legal duty as office holders in a publicly traded company.
I doubt you'll get many upvotes, but that is a fairly accurate description.
You do know that the tree rings which were used to help generate the ridiculous hockey stick say the earth has been cooling since 1900?
I've got two houses. I'll take the bet.

That was a bit mean, but pretty funny.
That was rather good.
That'd be because you can't smell the exhaust from the power station that powers your car.

If you don't regard them as rich, fine.

Yup, it got warmer since the Little Ice Age. Glad you noticed.
