    I have run a wrecker company attached to a body shop in Florida and in some cases you *can* keep in the car if you accept payment below the cost the company has which is typically KBB. In other cases like Ford Expeditions they can get a LOT more for the car at the auction yard and will fight you tooth and claw to total it. It's not helped by the fact that people think the Insurance company is a govt entity because the law requires you to have Insurance.

    The context here was some Ins companies automatically total the car if it's wheels have left the pavement, as well as any car older than 10 years for anything needing more than a minor paint job. I don't know about brand new cars like the Tesla, and who their underwriter was though.

    Sorry, but no. It does NOT matter what "everyone" thinks something means. If they're too stupid or lazy to look it up, it's THEIR fault, not the one using the term correctly.

    His point was dead on, and relevant to the discussion.

    Nobody gets to decide the definition of a word as it suits them, and the definition of autopilot is most definitely going to come up in court proceedings as it relates to this case.

    Insurance companies will total the car by policy of the wheels leave the ground. Some are more strict about this than others. Once the car is totaled out it's towed to a salvage yard where they auction the scrap off for parts.

    It might, or might not, benefit the Insurance companies to make sure autonomous cars never have a chance and use this opportunity to look at the logs themselves first. They own the car the moment the owner releases it to them. "Totaled" is just a purchase offer.

    Both have been trolling, but for a different purpose.

    I have provided evidence to support my opinion, knowing it will elicit a response, hoping you might see reason while trying to determine what kind of person would care so much about what one person thought. Really weird.

    All you have been repeating has been "your facts are wrong. You opinion is wrong, and your logic is flawed.".

    Yet with your last response you have admitted defeat by attacking the least little morsel I provided.

    Are we done here?

    conspiracy

    noun
    a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful.
    "a conspiracy to destroy the government"
    synonyms: plot, scheme, plan, machination, ploy, trick, ruse, subterfuge; informalracket
    "a conspiracy to manipulate the results"
    the action of plotting or conspiring.
    "they were cleared of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice"
    synonyms: plotting, collusion, intrigue, connivance, machination, collaboration; treason
    "conspiracy to commit murder"

    Nope, no Conspiracy theory. Prediction of an extension of an existing behavior to another Govt Agency, Yes.

    Going forward I know I am feeding a troll, but I will explain just in case you really have the IQ of a four year old.

    In this context the companies are consulting with ex-cia. They aren't teaching the ex-cia guy the ex-cia guy is teaching them.

    If you're teaching something you must have some level of experience prior. There's only two types of people in the world that I can think of that would have experience data-mining social media; SJW's and individuals acting at the behest of a Nations security or military agencies. What the CIA does is obviously classified, but it goes without saying that people coming out of Govt organizations with this kind of teachable knowledge that *just happens* to align with the objectives our Govt has been requesting it's not a leap at all to come to the conclusion that CIA has been data-mining social media.

    Oh wow, look at this:

    You'd never accept proof, anyway

    Evidence based decision making denies most of our programmed societal social scripting . Most people that are presented with evidence choose to ignore it in favor of projecting the vision of their political world view. Like what kind of behavior to expect from someone based on how their dressed and what they do.

    You distrus and hate too much for that.

    I don't hate, but it's a dangerous world full of people like you. Distrust as the first social scripting to display is generally safer.
