Validation Cybercab and Model Y validation cars while V14 lite drives me to IAH
Had a very nice Turo model 3 with v14 lite driving me from my hotel to the Houston airport as I’m heading back home. Happened to see 2 validation Teslas along the way right near each other. I didn’t see anything my whole trip as I didn’t have time to do much exploring beyond the local area, so was a great treat!
Finally an accurate flat earth map with realtime hurricane tracking
This is the nail in the coffin globetards. This realtime hurricane tracker shows the earth is as flat as a hurricane.
All the cg clouds were taken by Nikon P100000 cameras from the ground by strategically paced flat earth consultants dedicated to exposing NASA’s fraud in the American people.
SF Supervisor to Launch Inquiry on Waymo's July Fourth Traffic Meltdown
I’m not a fan of the “meltdown” terminology as it conflates blocking traffic (again) with the incident where Ojai’s rolled over active fireworks multiple times with the ONE that caught fire. Nonetheless, routing at dense events needs work.

youtu.beExtremely insightful discussion about exactly why tipping is just a money grab. Pick a number and improve the question or deny the answer given.
Would you prefer places include the costs of service in the menu up front by posting service fees, or just hope people pay them after? - no, the the costs would look too high and scare away customers
If there is a risk that a waiter gets “stiffed”, should the boss make up the difference (assuming no customer complaints were the reason?) - no, they are contracted to work for low numbers and make up the difference with average performance.
Should companies remove the tip line from pickup orders? - no, if you don’t ask, you have 0% chance of receiving. We benefit from tipping inertia.
Upfront and transparent FLAT RATE pricing is all we want. Dislike it or love it? Absolutely not, we get better returns when we “suggest” with 25% pre-selected and force the customer to swipe to choose another value (adds friction) - if our staff is present and holding the terminal, the customer will generally do anything to end the encounter quickly and will choose what’s already there selected.
Would you raise prices commensurate with the average costs of service and remove the tipping line? - no, we owners benefit from tip lines as stated, and if we had to guarantee staff salary, we lose money.
Why are utilities exactly aligned with consumption of services/resource and not percentage based? - no comment

The new 3.6 update is going to be fantastic. I think some major gripes will be solved in this. Can’t wait!

Road Test | Waymo vs. Tesla Robotaxi in Austin, Texas: Who Wins?
Both teams did a great job. Guy wasn’t super familiar with the tech, but gave a pretty visceral reaction to his overall experience as a first timer.
How some companies think the future will work
Saw an ad hilariously apropos to the LIDAR CMOS debate that had absolutely nothing to do with either. Good sensors with bad brains keep driving into flooded roads while good brains with perfectly fine visual sensors don’t.
The issues all come down to good perception processing regardless of suite, and while FSD screws up from time to time, the cameras don’t seem to the problem.

The title doesn’t mention that driving into flooded areas has happened myriad times (with no injuries), but the article does. It’s great their team is finally fixing this after almost half a year past the first event in Sept. 2025
