if you bought IBM gear and it broke, it was simply considered the cost of doing business,

IBM produced Canadian Phoenix Pay system has entered the chat with a record 0 firings.

People also tend to forget all the compliance issues that can come around hosting content, and using someone with expertise in that can reduce a very large burden. It’s not something that would hit every industry, but it does hit many.

What I find interesting is this is something that many people can actually validate themselves, but won’t. It’s one thing to talk about global politics and have a position and be undeterred from it with no real way to concretely get an answer on something, or maybe something that’s unobtainable to them, or would cost a lot of money to verify, but there are numerous L2 systems out there today that anyone can go test drive on the highway and find out for themselves, but many won’t even do that.

The only real excuse would be that you’re too young to test drive a vehicle. Other than that, you should be able to at least have an experienced personal opinion on their usage if you wanted to, like that other person who replied to you and said they didn’t like the older version.

Or…hear me out here… like parent commenter said, you can go test drive any vehicle with a good L2 system, take it on the highway, turn it on, PAY ATTENTION AND KEEP HANDS ON THE WHEEL, and then take over and see it’s not 40s.

That’s 1.11km going 100km/h on the highway.

Ya, mental well being and less stress sounds about right. Going for a couple hour drive and using it for even a part of it can leave me feeling better off when I get to my destination.

It’s not something I always turn on for entire trips either, I still do a mix of both, but lets say I’m on a 2hour trip and I’ve been driving regularly for 30 minutes and I’m starting to feel it, I can turn it on and there’s just this instant noticeable reduction, but then maybe there’s some construction or something ahead where I want to take over, so I take over and then drive the next 30 minutes myself again.

The best analogy is probably just regular cruise control if you’ve ever used it. You still gotta pay attention and be ready to alter your speed, but you’re not suddenly forgetting about speed while it’s on, but you’re also not getting worn down by having to maintain it manually.

For example - Feeling frustrated or annoyed by that car in front of you that’s constantly slowing down so you always have to be modulating your speed, but you can’t necessarily pass? Well it can just follow it and modulate it for you, well I can assure you, it’s less annoying when you don’t have to manage that yourself.

You always need to be ready to brake or press the accelerator depending on the situation, and I move my foot around depending on the situation. Just driving on the open highway, I’ll be ready for the accelerator in case of any phantom braking, coming up to a light with another vehicle in front of me, I’ll move it to the brake until it’s clear the car is braking at my comfort level. It’s all situational, and if you’re paying attention like you’re supposed to be, it’ll just be natural on which one you are prepared for.

Stop and go traffic it’s just making sure it does actually stop as it inches forward a few feet and needs to come to a stop again but without needing to actually manage it myself.

Sounds like that would draw even more tourists to come and see all of them and have that debate, better start building even more golden pagoda’s to account for the extra extra tourists.

Lowering the mental load of having to maintain speed and lane does not mean you’re not paying attention and able to take over.

It means you have more time to be aware of what’s going on around you, while still paying attention to what it’s handling for you.

Saying you gain nothing but risk because you still pay attention just isn’t true. There is still a gain, even with any added risk.

Stop and go traffic, and long drives it really helps.

You really have no idea what your talking about thinking it takes 40s.

Parent comment described it accurately.

Lidar wouldn’t have solved any of the issues you described. It also doesn’t solve the issues waymo frequenly has, where you’d say wtf didn’t lidar stop that? People are putting too much faith on lidar being a magic bullet. All these l2/AVs still need much better capabilities to process visual queues that lidar won’t help with.

Like a waymo literally drove into a telephone pole, WITH lidar. They all need better brains.

You know the saying, 600 years ago was the best time to build more golden pagodas if you wanted them today, but the next best time is today if you want 600 year old golden pagodas in 600 years.

Where I’m at, they’re trying to do that plan where they lower speed limits and change the roads to reflect the slower speeds with narrowing, or bikes lanes, or speed bumps etc to reduce car accident deaths, but they ignored the entire part about changing the roads to reflect the new speeds, and just lowered the speeds.

So you got these 4-6 lane roads that were designed for 50km/h and now they’re 30-40km/h and absolutely no one, is doing the posted limit, at the new 30 areas, not even cops.

All I can come up with is now if you speed like people may have before, you’re really over the limit, so it’s easier to ticket someone? Like before people might have gone 55-60 in the 50 zone, but now going 55 is well over 40, and impound level over 30.

All these L2 systems (not just Tesla’s) really do lower the cognitive load and makes things easier, even if you still have to pay attention.

Remember when you were learning to drive and making sure you did everything right took up a lot of your cognitive ability while driving, maybe you couldn’t even carry on a conversation and drive, and as you got more experienced, a lot of it became second nature, and the load on driving became less?

Well that load is still there, it’s just less, and this can lower it further even if you are still having to pay attention.

Maybe SO should run everyone’s answers through a LLM and revoke any points a person gets for a condescending answer even if accepted.

Give a warning and suggestions to better meet community guidelines.

It can be very toxic there.

Edit: I love the downvotes here. OP - AI is going to destroy the sources of truth and knowledge, in part because people stopped going to those sources because people were toxic at the sources. People: But I’ll downvote suggestions that could maybe reduce toxicity, while having no actual impact on the answers given.

Wow, that’s hilarious.

Does not meet minimum pedestrian saftey features yes.

OP that started this was trying to say they don’t even crash test their vehicles.

Lol dude, the cybertruck is a 5 star rated vehicle.

https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2025/TESLA/CYBERTRUCK%252520(ALL%252520VARIANTS)/PU%25252FCC/AWD%252520Later%252520Release#detailed-safety-tech-results

It’s the one of the safest trucks for occupants in crashes ever built.

Edit: Just to add, that they also keep updating based on results from saftey agencies. The CT initially scored a 5 for driver and 4 for front passenger, but it has been updated to now to be 5/5.

I mean… if they didn’t test their cars, they really must have the best engineers in the world, being able to go from just engineering plans to getting a 5 star saftey rating at all the agencies. Those engineers would be worth their weight in gold lol.

As long as the model 3/y were mechanically operated, I’m not sure their push to pull mechanism is bad or a problem, but the model s/x have electronically presenting handles that need power to present themselves as they pop out horizontally, not with a hinge like 3/y, and you can’t really just make that mechanical like you can the model 3/y ones, and the CyberTruck doesn’t even have exterior handles.

By the time you’re deciding to make all those potential changes, now the question is, if we already have to reprogram the robots, and get new moulds, do we want to make any other changes on this door at the same time, so that we don’t have twice the downtime to make the 2 changes?
