Comment Remember the Federal Incentives Ended Last Sept (Score 1) 214

The Federal Incentives Ended Last Sept, and electric sales are down roughly %25. So these Fords are underperforming, the market, but the market is most of this decline. Personally the Chevy, Toyota, or Subarus look more appealing to me than the Ford EVs at this time.

Comment Libre Office (Score 2) 82

Unfortunately for Microsoft you are correct, the rest of the world cannot trust any USA company for critical operations due to the polical dangers. Besides the obvious data concerns, an angry dictator might suddenly add 1000% export taxes on software, or demand it be broken or hamstrung, etc. So I don't blame other governments for moving to Libre. I think a company like Microsoft might be better off headquartered in a stable democracy.

Comment I don't think they are trying to deny liability. (Score 1) 239

They aren't trying to deny liability, they are simply claiming that should someone die in an accident, it won't be the END of self driving cards providing those accidents are at a much lower rate than human drivers. I would agree, and add that when a self driving car does make a mistake, they have the opportunity to find the root cause, and fix it going forward. Already their safety record is freakishly good, and knowing those numbers I would feel safer in a Waymo. (Other brands however, I'm not yet sold)

Comment Plenty of crackpots have credentials. (Score 1) 196

Plenty of crackpots have credentials, the whole anti-vax mania was started by an actual doctor publishing false studies. But I do hope this helps, I know in the USA you cannot tell people what they can and cannot say, but you can hold them (Or if we tweak our laws, perhaps their platform) liable for harm caused by their false information.
