Why is that?

I tried this

> write a powershell script to crawl an entire website and download all images

It still refuses to generate code for that.

Write a powershell script to download all images from a web page and crawl the site.

My reading was that the Waymo was turning left. Remember, the description is from Waymo's PR, so that's why it's vague on purpose and needs to be taken with a grain of salt. According to another comment bikes can treat stop signs as yield signs in California. If the bike illegally ran a stop sign I would think Waymo would say or imply that.

They did say that the Waymo only braked after the cyclist was 'fully visible'. They won't be releasing the footage on their own.

If the description is correct then the cyclist was going into the space that they could see in front of them, unlike the Waymo. Someone else said that stop signs are legally equivalent to yield signs for bicycles in California. They probably couldn't see the Waymo because it was occluded by the truck, so how could they yield to it.

This is why straight going traffic always has the right of way if the roads are similarly sized, and it's on the turning vehicle to stop and wait at the turn.

I would also hope that self driving cars are programmed to drive defensively and conservatively over trying to shave off a second or two of drive time.

I wonder if short range radar or sonar can help tell if there's something behind a large truck with the wave or sound reflections. If bats can do it, why can't computers?

Looks like the Waymo vehicle was turning after an all-way stop sign?

Is this a good representation with the blue car being the Waymo and the truck being the red car?

Wonder why it was cutting so close to the large truck's back while accelerating during the turn that it couldn't see the cyclist till it was too late.

Them saying the car braked only after the cyclist was fully visible is additional cause for concern. Those are precious fractions of seconds. Doesn't Waymo use LIDAR? Shouldn't it detect the partial cyclist as a solid obstruction and start braking before the object recognition kicked in and recognized it as a cyclist? What if it was a trailer?

At least Hyundai hasn't been faking emissions tests like Toyota.

Imagine if this happens when someone's driving with it on. Apple shouldn't have had a mode called 'driving', it should've been called passenger.

Toyota was forced to recall all their BZX cars for that issue, whereas the scale of the problem you linked appears to be much lower across Tesla's models.

> But since they don't want to be in the business of making undesirable vehicles with short lifespans that require expensive maintenance

Then why did they go all in on hydrogen cars?

That doesn't get the headlines and attenion that a icon enlargement software update on Tesla does on HN.

Not true.

>The CVR was downloaded successfully; however, it was determined that the audio from the accident flight had been overwritten. The CVR circuit breaker had not been manually deactivated after the airplane landed following the accident in time to preserve the accident flight recording

In addition to local storage, why isn't the audio(along with location, altitude and some sensor information) also streamed using something like Starlink or Inmarsat to a secure location where you can store more data for cheaper and with more redundancy?

If you were anywhere near objective you would give the same scrutiny that you give Tesla to other car makers. Since you're horribly biased against Tesla you instead try to make them look good in your comments and submissions. How is that being objective???

You seem to be very obsessed about a car brand and building an identity around hating it and spreading the hate around as much as you can for more than half a decade.

I think there are bigger and better things to worry about than Tesla's image.

You're just putting words in my mouth now because you are completely unable to address the arguments in the rest of my post because you have to admit they're correct. You also admitted other car companies lie by saying I was resorting to whataboutism.

It's not whataboutism when someone implies power steering failures happen only with a particular car company, and someone corrects them by showing instances with other car companies. That's irrationalism.

You're not even getting paid to be anti-EV and fossil fuel lobby's volunteer PR flack and spin doctor to spend all that time and effort to demonise Tesla while completely ignoring the other car companys' faults.

If you want a career in PR then at least get paid for it. Literally promoting Volkswagen all over the place after the intentional emissions scandal ruining people's health with 5 million dying because of pollution every year, that's sad, disgusting and pathetic.

> It is.

Not that's your paranoia. Like how people on here said Cybertruck was scan for the preorder fees and would never ship based on similar thoughts like yours.

> So.. it's made up misinformation that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is doing an engineering analysis of Tesla's power steering problems?

When did I ever say that? I just noted that most other automakers' having similar issues and recalls don't reach the front page of HN. Ford had 68 recalls in 2023, how many reached HN's front page compared to Tesla's?

I was responding to a comment high up the page stating this:

> I've never driven a tesla.

>I've also never had my steering wheel randomly stop working in the middle of driving.

The implication is that only Teslas have power steering loss issues because the poster never had a Tesla and never had power steering losses, based on a faulty anectdotal assumption. Isn't that misleading if not misinformation?

Mazda just had a big recall for power steering loss:

> Mazda recall for power steering warning Mazda is recalling 43,752 of its 2024 CX-90 vehicles. An assembly issue with the worn gear in the steering wheel system could result in a sudden loss of power steering assist. Loss of the power steering assists while driving increases the risk of a crash, the NHSTA reports.

> Mazda owners can visit their dealers to replace the spring engaging in the worn gear. The mechanics will reapply grease to the gear teeth, which will be free of charge. All Mazda owners affected will receive a notification letter on March 18. Owners can contact the Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500 and press option six. Mazda's number for this recall is 6542A.

And this isn't even a software recall that is fixed with an OTA update.

Where's the coverage of that story on HN?

I responded with a list of URLs showing other car companies had similar issues and somehow everyone's super angry about me and it got downvoted as punishment for adding context and facts, and to bury it lower down the page. And all the personal attacks.

I could make a long list of 'lies' that other car companies made up with actual harms that are completely ignored and never brought up. Like the Volkswagen emissions scandal or the GM ignition scandal that resulted in deaths and criminal charges for hiding and falsifying information to the govt.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2015/09/17/w...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_ignition_switch...

Even if what you said was true it's not okay to constantly make up misinformation about Tesla. As you listed there's enough to legitimately criticize Tesla and other automakers about, so why are people hell bent on making up things?

> So instead of running around with paranoid fantasies that world is out to get Tesla

There's a long line of shortsellers, fossil fuel and car company anti-EV lobby money in the media and just plain haters making up things, and anyone pointing out the falsehoods personally attacked.

I hate this trend of demonization of cancelling something or someone, and then falsehoods are spread and anyone pointing out the falsehoods are demonized.

Just correcting people and noticing things is a persecution complex now? And nothing about all the haters of a car brand? Literally I just posted a list of URLs and stated that other car companies have had power steering problems too and it triggered a bunch of angry replies and got downvoted for listing inconvenient facts.

AVP runs other apps at up to 100hz. I think they meant that the MBP screensharing is capped at 60hz.

It's in part that some people are naturally introverts and thus withdraw into non-social activities like reading, anime, movies, music, gaming, programming etc. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy because the other kids are out there interacting with others, and thus learning social cues and skills. For example, alcohol famously reduces social inhibitions.

It's not that the natural introverts cannot learn these skills if they apply their mind to it, in fact it's probably easier for them since they're generally smarter.

> Seems especially egregious compared to the GM settlement mentioned in the article - at $773 million

Maybe the scale, duration, impact and response were different? As I said in the other comment this story appears to be about Tesla service centers' waste, and the GM issue you mentioned is about manufacturing facilities.

> The United States alleged in bankruptcy filings that Old GM operated an aluminum diecasting plant on the Massena property from 1959 to 2009, and that Old GM disposed of hazardous substances including polycholorinated biphenyls (also known as PCBs) at the property

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/united-states-announces-appro...

That was at just one site over a span of half a century.

> Other automakers have terrible track records with hazardous waste. GM agreed to pay a $773 million settlement in 2010 with the US, 14 states, and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe over “environmental liabilities” including hazardous waste at its properties.

> In 2022, New Jersey sued Ford for dumping toxic paint sludge and contaminating “hundreds of acres of soil, water, wetlands” and state-recognized tribal lands of the Ramapough Lenape Nation.

A fine of a three quarters of a billion seems like a lot. Sounds like the issues were with GM factories vs Tesla's issue in only the service centers? Would square with Tesla's fine being only $1.5 Million.
