      I’m thinking about how many man-hours and tax dollars go toward status symbols rather than humans.

        oof that’ll leave you miserable.

        similarly, the coal rollers: they pay extra to modify their shitwagons to intentionally run BADLY, inefficiently, so they spew clouds of partially combusted fuel. their children and grandchildren will all suffer for every time these things roll down the block. and they don’t care, they think gas costs too much (!?) as they cash their social security checks.

        future generations will despise our society.

          Not miserable. I’ve accepted this is what it is and am prodding my brain for workable solutions since activation is spotty, at best. Looking for ways to achieve this, beyond activation, which is still the best shot, but with so few unable or unwilling, what can be added to mobilization/bodies on the streets?

            yeah, hard to show up when it’s 3 other people confronted by 200 cops. but I think the public is slowly waking up to the fucktocracy it’s in. hang in there.

          it also causes wearing and scoring of the cylinder walls as the fuel/air ratio is so biased that the injectors wash the oil off the parts inside the engine. this actually wears the engine out very quickly and causes it to lose power. they’re literally destroying otherwise fine engines just to be assholes.

          Current generations despise our society. It’s just a matter of despising it enough to want our leader’s heads on pikes.

      Read that last bit and think of all the accidents these things drove people into, just to ‘hand off’ control .5 seconds before impact.

      A crash is counted as on autopilot if it occurs within a few seconds of autopilot disengaging.

        a lot of good it is if it’s going to get people into no-win situations because musk thinks optical only is a viable solution for the exceptionally complex problem.

          Hey optical only works fine… so long as you can hook up the 2 cameras to one of the most powerful super computers on earth.
