Because sometimes you don't see something for a variety of reasons. Maybe you have your mirrors adjusted wrong (most people do, actually). Maybe you're hauling a bunch of party balloons and your rear view is obstructed. Maybe you're watching someone being a moron to your right and something else suddenly comes up on the left?
The Tesla system can see an take proactive measures to attempt to save you when you might not have a chance to react.
That's not the same thing as "Ohhh, this isn't good, but I'll just let the car handle it...' like what sounds like happened here.
Google Search is a Google service. There's nothing illegal about cross-selling your own products. Furthermore, they are not an ISP held to common-carrier laws when it comes to content. They could close their ad network to all competitors, much like Apple does not stock products in their retail stores from certain companies they are in legal disagreements with.
People are free to use Bing or some other search engine if they don't like the (lack of) results.
...Is it really an autopilot crash? Or some guy who, unfortunately, wasn't paying as much attention as he should whilst driving a 2 tonne hunk of metal around other human beings?
Well, you you read the statement in the summary:
The NHTSA report said data from the car showed that "the driver took no braking, steering or other actions to avoid the collision". Bryan Thomas from the NHSTA said the driver should have been able to see the lorry for seven seconds, which "should have been enough time to take some action".
The NHSTA is saying that while Tesla's autopilot features are made to help avoid collisions and improve safety, they are not legally responsible for keeping a driver safe. The driver still is responsible for operating the vehicle, including in emergency situations. The owner here did not make any attempt to avoid the collision but should have been aware of the situation. Either he was being an inattentive driver, or he deliberately failed to take action, expecting the Tesla system to instead. In either case the Tesla system is not the one to blame for the accident not being avoided.
If he's willing to ignore a recall order from the manufacturer, and proactively block an update that would disable the device he has, how likely do you think he is to heed a sign hanging in an airport?
You know "sponsor" just means to buy advertising, right?
Is it your contention that mozilla should not advertise their products? Or do you disapprove of the placement of the advertising?
The advertising is to raise awareness of the product. Shouldn't using resources to make the product great take priority over the marketing of it?
Remember when a good product sold itself from word of mouth, and a company that makes good products builds a reputation from the quality of what they do. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Why would Mozilla what to becomes like many other American corporations -- make shit and use advertising to get people to use it?

What good is standardizing the pictographs now? Toilets stay in service for decades before being replaced. So unless they are going to have some sticker campaign to relabel all the ones already out there, it's too late.
Too bad it doesn't support USB 2.0 : it takes 8GB or 32GB SD cards, but the slow transfer speed makes it about unusable except in emergencies (wow, since it's USB mass storage you can boot a laptop from it! but that's usable for memtest only, perhaps DOS)
The Puppy Linux variants (with GUI) are under 500 MB. If they can load all their resources into a RAM disk that would get around the slow USB transfer speeds.
I have a Sanyo Katana LX, purchased in January 2009. It still makes phone calls, it still sends and receives texts, and its battery lasts a week with the light use I give it.
I was in the same boat. Up until last month I was using a Nokia 6030 (so, 2005 vintage) as my cell phone. I didn't own a single handset for 10 years continuously, because there was a couple times I had to replace it for something actually not working on the one I had -- but I'd just go on eBay and buy another of the exact model. I'd disable the internal memory so all my contacts would save to the SIM by default, and I could just move it to a new one, taking everything with me if I needed to. Battery lasted a week with my usage and audio/reception were better than even the more expensive smartphone I replaced it with.
Unless I own a bank, it's not like I, as a regular consumer, will see any benefit. The savings are all going to go into the pockets of a few fats cats who don't really need the extra money anyway.
You don't have to use a cable if you don't like the cable getting in your way. That's the beautiful thing about this... it allows the customer the choice if using a 3.5mm connected device, or using bluetooth.
Just because something is not "user replaceable" doesn't mean it isn't replacable. iPod batteries aren't user-replaceable. iPhone batteries aren't, either. And yet you can change them, with requisite skill.
Batteries made to be non-user replaceable take longer to replace. Labor costs money. You have to factor that in to which recall choice they'll make.
And if it was a battery problem, it's easy to change as well. Samsung would just collect the phones, replace the batteries and send them back out. They won't worry about whose phone is whose phone - they'd just replace the battery, reflash them and send them back.
...and deal with the inevitable complaints from some people about the phone they get back having damage/wear, while the one they took such good care of and sent in, did not? Remember, smartphones are expensive enough that many people resell them or trade them in when they get their new one. The condition the old device was in would play a role in deducing value. Too much hassle for Samsung Better to just cut everyone a check, destroy them all, and let God sort 'em out.
You mean "sudden outbreak of common sense"? As in, you don't have to get rid of a 3.5mm headphone jack just because you want to start selling wireless earphones?
You forgot the "until customers start going to your competitors because of your shitty security" part. You can ask any cloud service provider about that.

I was wondering the same. I've never felt like I needed "assistance" to keep the car in my lane.
You may be a great driver, but you only get to drive your own car. ;-)

I really fucking hope that T-Mobile doesn't follow in AT&Ts footsteps with this one.
Actually, they are doing the opposite.
They're giving users with non-phone devices FREE 2G service for the next year.

A boycott of what exactly? Muscle cars? Donald Trump? Any goods made in the U.S.A.?

I once bought a counterfeit Pokemon Emerald off of Ebay and it did *not* work great.
Pokemon Emerald uses flash memory for its save file which is a pain for counterfeiters to make, so they hack the game to use battery backup instead.
Why would counterfeiters have trouble with flash memory? They don't have to make it themselves, it's a traded commodity now.
