#Self Driving
Since y'all liked that post about Tesla removing the gear selectors in their cars, did you also know that Elon Musk is promising v12.0 of Autopilot Full Self Driving will be "much better" than previous versions. He's claiming it will be the first version without the "Beta" label and will be basically as good or better than a human driver. To show this off, he took to Twitter Live and streamed a 45-minute drive from Twitter HQ to Mark Zuckerburg's house. Live doxxing aside, the best part of this live stream was
A: When the vehicle came to a stop at a red light, waited a few seconds, and then attempted to run the red light while traffic was actively going through the intersection, causing Musk to slam on the brakes and deactivate the system.
B: When the vehicle got caught in a Yellow Light and was taking way longer than necessary to stop, prompting a verbal "I hope it stops," panic from Musk.
Full Self Driving my ass.

Even though Amazon is talked bad about as an employer, they're the only viable full time entry level jobs available right now and part of the reason is because they put almost every industry out of business.
Another job viable for people, especially immigrants, disabled, and neurodivergent people that's being phased out is uber and taxi services. The self driving car is not only unsafe, it's actively taking jobs. I trust a human more than a self driving car (especially living in a coastal city with cliffs).
We need legislation to protect our jobs and automate industries that are dangerous for humans to do. I went to my local job center, do you know what they were hiring for? Coal miner. What century are we living in? Humans deserve safe and clean jobs. Have the robots mine the coal.

Look at this little guy, he yearns for the mines.

self-driving car (with passengers inside!) blocks traffic at 21st & Mission by trying to turn into the wrong lane of oncoming traffic. right into a van for wheelchair users.
then, another self-driving car joins in the fun, blocking the other lane!
the robots are just fucking with us now.

 A Blinding Prank That Wasn't FoolProof
A Story By Benjamin H Groff© Groff Media Copyright 2024© In the small town of Havenbrook, two blind men, Al and Bert, were renowned for their cunning and mischievous antics. Despite their lack of sight, they possessed a sharp wit and an uncanny ability to navigate the world around them. They orchestrated elaborate practical jokes daily, relishing in the townspeople’s reactions. Yesterday, Al…

Elon Musk Visits China to Discuss Tesla’s Self-Driving Rollout
Tumblr media
Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk had been all over the news by attending the session in Beijing. On that day, he highlighted the FSD software issues and problems of data transmission. Musk arranged a meeting with the Premier Li Qiang, during which they discussed Tesla as a symbol of the economic partnership between these two countries. The course meant a lot as the visit of Musk was an introduction of FSD by Tesla in China which is the second largest market of the company.
State media reported accusations of Musk’s business but could not confirm conversations on FSD or data transfers. From 2021, Tesla has been storing the data locally in full compliance with the Chinese regulations. On the other hand, Musk wants to get the permission to ship data out, thereby growing the intelligence level of Tesla’s autonomous driving systems. With this step, the company aims at excelling in autonomous vehicle technology.

Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous vehicles or driverless cars, are a revolutionary technological advancement poised to transform the way we commute, travel, and interact with our urban and rural environments. In this video, we'll discuss the progress made by Tesla in their development of self-driving cars, and how close we are to achieving this technology.
Self-driving cars are equipped with a range of sensors such as LiDAR, cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. These sensors provide the vehicle with a comprehensive view of its surroundings, allowing it to perceive other vehicles, pedestrians, road signs, traffic lights, and obstacles in real-time.
The heart of self-driving cars lies in their AI systems. These AI algorithms process the data from sensors to make complex decisions and control the vehicle's movements. Machine learning and deep learning techniques are used to teach the AI system to recognize patterns, predict the behaviors of other road users, and respond appropriately to various scenarios.
Self-driving cars rely on high-definition maps to understand their location and the environment. These maps provide information about lane markings, road geometries, traffic signs, and more. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping technology is used to continuously update the vehicle's position within the mapped environment.
Self-driving cars represent a technological frontier that holds the promise of safer, more efficient, and more accessible transportation. While there are hurdles to overcome, ongoing advancements in AI, sensor technology, and infrastructure development continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of autonomous vehicles.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping technology is used to continuously update the vehicle's position within the mapped environment.
Communication technology plays a crucial role in the functioning of self-driving cars. These vehicles can exchange information with each other and with infrastructure elements like traffic lights and road sensors. This communication enhances safety and enables cooperative maneuvers.
Self-driving cars represent a technological frontier that holds the promise of safer, more efficient, and more accessible transportation.

what is with men being mad any time a woman raises her voice where did that even come from. someone posted a video of a small electrical explosion, and the top comment was of course the woman screams. the second comment is women try not to scream challenge, level impossible. i had to go back and watch the video again. there is, somewhat fainty, a little gasp emitted off-camera, more of a yelp than a scream. it is mostly lost in the crack of the explosion. afterwards, you hear her voice, shaken, say, are you okay?
i am helping one of my friends train her voice pitch lower, because she wants to be taken seriously at work. she and i do each other's nails and talk about gender roles; and how - due to our appearance - neither of us have ever been able to be "hysterical" in public. we both appear young and sweet and feminine. she is cisgender, and cannot use her natural voice in her profession because people keep saying she appears to be "vapid". we both try to figure out if our purposeful voice lowering is technically sexist. is it promoting something when you are a victim to it?
a storm almost sends a pole through a car window. in the dashcam, you can hear the woman passenger say her partner's name twice, crying out in alarm. she sounds terrified. in the comments, she is lambasted for her lack of calm. how is that even fucking helping?
in high school, i taught myself to have a lower voice. i had been recorded when i was genuinely (and righteously) upset; and i hated how my voice sounded on the phone speakers when it was played back. i was defending my mom, and my voice cracked with emotion. it meant i was no longer winning the argument: i was just shrieking about it.
girls meet each other after a long summer and let out a little joyful scream. this usually stops around 12-14, because people will not tolerate this display of affection (as it has the effect of being passingly annoying). something about the fact that little girls can't ever even be annoying. we are trained to examine each part of our lives (even joy) for anything that could make us upsetting and disgusting. they act like teenage girls are breaking into houses and shrieking you awake at 3 in the morning. speaking as a public school educator: trust me, it's not that bad, you can just roll your eyes and move on. it does not compare to the ways boys end up being annoying: slurs in graffiti, purposefully mocking your body, following you after you said no. you know, just boy things.
there's another video of a man who is not allowed to yell in the house, so he snaps his fingers when he's excited about soccer. the comments are full of angry men, talking about how their brother is unfairly caged. let him express himself and this is terrible to do to someone. eventually the couple has to address it in a second video: they are married with a newborn baby. he was trying not to wake the infant up. there is no comment on the fact women are not allowed to yell indoors. or the fact that it could have been really alarming or triggering for his wife. sometimes i wonder if straight men even like women, if they even enjoy being in relationships with them.
for the longest time, i hated roller coasters because it always felt inappropriate and uncomfortable for me to scream. one of my friends called me on it, said it was unusual i'm so unwilling. i had to go to my therapist about it. i don't like to scream because i was not raised in a safe situation, and raising my voice would have brought unsafe attention towards me. even when i am supposed to scream, it feels shameful, guilty. i was not treated kindly, so i lack a basic form of self-protection. this is not a natural response. it is not good that in a situation of high adrenaline - i shut up about it.
something very bad is happening, i think. in between all the beauty standards and the stuff i've already discussed - this one feels new and cruel in a way i can't quite express. yes, it's scary and silencing. but there's something about how direct it is - that so many men agree with the sentiment that women should never yell, even in an emergency - it feels different.
is the word shriek gendered automatically? how about shrill or screech? in self defense class, one of the first things they tell you is to yell, as loud and as shrilly as you can. they say it will feel rude. most women will not do this. you need to practice overcoming the social pressure and just scream.
most women do not cry out, even when it's bad. we do not report it. we walk faster. we do not make a scene. what would be the point of doing anything else? no matter what we do, we don't get taken seriously. it is a joke to them. an instagram caption punchline. we have to present ourselves as silent, beautiful, captivating - "valuable."
a woman is outside watching her kids when someone throws a firecracker at them. she screams and runs towards her children. in the comments, grown men flock together in the thousands: god. women are so annoying.
