2) Self-driving technology is not safe enough to be unleashed on the world in uncontrolled environments.

Have you seen this documentary?

Also, the argument that camera-based systems are sufficient because "that's how I drive" is the epitome of Elon's simple-mindedness. Are humans the problem or not?

I'm interested to see what powertrain the new 4Runner will use. I was leaning towards trying to get a LC but I'd rather get a 4Runner if the mpg is better than the new LC or current 4Runner since I really don't need anything that big.

Also, good thing Toyota showed the rear window feature. People were about to lose their sh1t if the newest 4Runner lost that feature.

Mileage? What kind of cuck concern is this?

I am a hippie liberal soy boy that cares about this kind of stuff

If I had the ability to add a lidar sensor to my face, I would 100% use it…especially since there are a lot of conditions where my eyes don’t do that great of a job.

I think these comments fit together…

The update no one has been waiting for: Porsche massage seats > Genesis massage seats. The latter seems curiously focused on the, uh, pelvic area. I don't need my taint kneaded on the highway at 80 mph, man. I just hit 1000 golf balls, get into my lower back for **** sake! Possibly too many women in the design focus groups?

I would enjoy FSD for interstate driving given you can tick off hundreds of miles of unremarkable driving and wonder if you were awake for it. I have a hard time with the whole, driving must be paying attention to take over at a moments notice...if so I think reaction times would be less.

I am most paranoid driving through intersections these days as people seem to run red lights more often. I hardly see cops these days so Nashville seems a little lawless lately.

Picked up a second key today and this was in the showroom. Talked to the owner who was complaining about the carbon buckets in his Dakar after a long weekend trip so maybe he is a glutton for punishment.

I saw this one at DAL yesterday. Somehow, it didn’t fall through the floor.
