Not going to lie, I really hate when the internet gets a new favorite phrase. Destroys discussion on the subjects and feels like it’s a race for commenters to say the hit phrase.

Yeah wtf. I was looking forward to season 2

I understand. Self driving is making progression, and I can understand the concern.

Like I said, I thought you were saying the indicator was the issue, not the self driving. I don’t know the facts behind self driving, and it’s definitely above my paygrade, so I have no room to give opinions. I think progression is cool though, if it’s proven safe

To be fair though, you did skip the limitations.

that can only be used in limited situations and in certain (geo-fenced) areas, like in heavy traffic on select highways at speeds of 40 MPH or less. Drive Pilot is also limited to daytime use and during clear weather, and cannot be used in construction zones. Furthermore, the driver is not allowed to fall asleep or leave the driver’s seat

Oh my bad. I somehow thought you were implying the light was going to give them the pass… You are talking about self driving cars in general though.

That’s been a thing though, would you like that progress to stop? I guess /fuckcars is a real popular movement online so we can have different opinions on that.

Ive read those 7 paragraphs a couple times now, and I don’t see anything about getting a legal pass. Maybe you could quote it for me?

I have missed things due to ads covering things up on mobile on the past.

The article says they are allowed to test the new indicators in those States, not that they get a legal pass…

In California, the permit will let Mercedes-Benz trial turquoise lights on test vehicles for two years. In Nevada, the automaker can start adding the feature to 2026 year production vehicles

Do you think it’s a better scenario for less awareness of self driving cars? If self driving is part of the future, this seems like a reasonable step imo.

I don’t think I understand how adding safety indicators to elevate awareness of self driving vehicles helps rich people avoid all consequence.

As a poor person, I’d like to know if a car I’m driving by is self driving.

But any way you want to compare Threads activity/uses to Lemmy’s… It’s pretty obvious that Threads is already way bigger which was the main point I’d imagine.

Also, like you said… incidents, not accidents.

accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations

Which I bet includes things like parking tickets and all that. Tbh, seems like most “studies” posted to Lemmy are crap tbh

I didn’t say “not have a choice” though. I said people are likely tired of others making the choice for them, whether it be minority or majority. Especially when individual choice is possible.

I think most people are tired of others making choices for them, rather than explicitly being in favor of federating with Threads.

True.

But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions?

I’d imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook “undoubtedly caused a genocide”.

Seems like it’s getting trivialized to shit on Facebook
