hnuser0000on Tesla FSD head to head against Mercedes Driver Assist on the same road [video]

The user that created that video is known to have preference for Tesla (based on Twitter posts and their YouTube channel is all about Tesla), the video may be biased.

The Consumer Reports comparison at the beginning of the video is Mercedes "Driver Assistance" vs Tesla "Autopilot". These are technologies for lane assistance, speed limit assistance, etc. "Advanced cruise control" is a better term for these. This video does not compare these.

Mercedes self driving system is called "Drive Pilot". Tesla's is called "FSD" (Full Self Driving)

This video compares FSD to Drive Assist, these are two different types of technologies.

That study says little about fewer ship tracks causing sea warming and nothing about the magnitude of any possible sea warming.

hnuser0000on Reduction of sulfur emissions from ships may be causing rising sea temperatures

This lacks scientific models or sources that quantify the magnitude of the reduction in ship tracks and the resulting impact on sea temperatures. They are not in the science.org article[1] he links either.
