Legally or morally.
I'm really surprised how many people around here think it does. It doesn't require consent when a human does it, and it doesn't require consent when a computer does it.

I'm going to victim blame. This is what happens when you blindly accept what a computer tells you.

You misread OP's comment. They're saying people stop a car length or more behind the white line rather than putting the nose of their car on the white line, and could they not do that.
I'm sure that was the intent, but (I think) it actually parses the other way. It's messy, so I'm not sure, but that's how I read it.

Scaping has never been stealing, of course. It wasn't then, and it isn't now, even with all of the whinging people are doing about AI training data.

> That feels like an odd thing to be frightened of. It's not Mars where there are minutes of latency. Why would the Philippines - specifically - be any more (or less) concerning than if the drivers were in a building a kilometer away from the vehicle?
Half-way across the world and thus more prone to latency spikes. Not something you want when you need to be able to react quickly. Or have you never played a game on a server on the other side of the pacific?

I know it's really trivial, bordering on petty, but please oh please give her a different accent. She says "okay" so much, and the Valleygirl accent is never heard so pronounced as obviously as in that word that I really want any other accent. Mid Atlantic, Southern, Cascadian, Midwest, Irish, please anything other than Valleygirl.
Several minutes were spent on the new voices. So yes, you can.

This is an honest question (As someone that charges an EV commuting car at home): Can EVs be charged on the road without a phone? Is cash an option?
Cash might be difficult, I don't know, but at every charger I stopped at I could have tapped a credit card.

Compare this to shark skin in water.
From TFS, FCS: "This technology is fundamentally different from the "rivulet (shark skin) process," which is known as a typical aerodynamic drag reduction technology."

There were not 600,000 preorders. You can tell by the fact that they announced 600,000 preorders. If there actually had been they'd have announced "more than a million preorders." That's how it works.

Why do they disable the GPU core....?
Chips are tested after manufacture. A large number of them have tiny flaws in one or more areas, but work perfectly otherwise. The ones that are flawless go in the highest-end models, the others have the flawed area disabled and go in the lower-end models. Some are just rejected outright.
