    Apparently a software update made the cars detect if a vehicle was backing up towards them and give a “beep” as a warning. But in the lot where self driving cars are stored they beep at each other as they try to park. Lol

      Sounds like dogs barking at/with each other in the night back when I was growing up. You’d hear the occasional how-how-hoooooww from one of them, and others would join in. Wolf’ish in some ways. The city I grew up in was much less crowded back then.

      Now: I guess self driving cars fill in the void left by dogs not barking at each other anymore.

    I remain irritated we’re spending so much money on self driving cars instead of buses, trains, and improving our living spaces to support them.

    Like you could spend billions to try to get self driving cars to work, and get part way there. And you’d still have a car-first dystopia.

    Or you could spend billions to deploy buses and make walkable neighborhoods. Well understood, many good side effects.

      If the tech bros really wants self driving transportation we can give them that:

      maxresdefault-3398351735

      Self driving subway, goes 75km/h in the city center, fully electric, convenient, consistent, safe.
