"human driver" statistical comparisons are fraught because these AVs only operate on certain roads and in certain conditions, but the important takeaway here is that Teslas are deeply unsafe and should not be on the road
"data suggests Tesla Robotaxis are crashing once every 40,000 miles, whereas the average human driver in the US crashes about once every 500,000 miles"
that's just really really bad sherwood.news/tech/teslas-...

Tesla’s 29 Austin Robotaxis have crashed 8 times since June, as data suggests they perform much worse than human drivers
That’s a lot of crashes for such a small fleet....

Note that the October job losses were mostly Federal Government due to the DOGE deferred resignation program.

Thread about driving deaths/laws in CA - attempts to improve matters repeatedly stymied.

Earlier this year, the director of CalTrans presented this chart to members of the state Senate’s Transportation Committee, showing a dramatic rise in deaths on California's roads.
No lawmakers asked about the chart. Or what CalTrans was doing about it.

Runoff election for county assessor, which isn't a political office and I usually don't have much opinion on. But, the comparisons here are pretty stark.

Dec. 30 runoff features one contender highly qualified for the job and one seeking to politicize the office.

Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

Younger people who didn't witness it cannot fathom the hype around the Segway. Every news station agreed it would revolutionize the entire social fabric of the Earth. That all future humans would divide history between the savage days of the past, and the soon to be new era of zoom zoom scoot scoot.

This is an incredibly powerful piece, impeccably researched, and everyone should take the time to read it. It clarifies a lot of things I’ve instinctually felt but haven’t quite had the words to describe.
We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.
