What’s really cool is that is still an option. I can use the service or not.
This guy used to drive a Tesla but switched to Lucid. Got mad at Musk and sold his Tesla after his wife was let go as part of Doge (that’ll show him!).
Results in much disappoint.

If traffic lights aren’t working aren’t you supposed to treat it like a 4 way stop? Or is that only when they are flashing?
ETA or is that what you were stating and not what they were doing?
The Waymo vehicles tried to phone home when power went out and something in their system couldn’t handle it and the cars stopped at non functioning lights instead of doing the 4 way stop thing.
Imagine two lanes of traffic in the same direction. Waymo A pulls up to the traffic light that isn’t working and it just stops and sits there. More cars get stuck behind A. Waymo B approaches traveling the same direction, sees the stopped cars and correctly selects the less congested lane, gets to the traffic light, stops, and just sits there. That direction of travel is now done, more cars pile up. Same thing happens to the other three directions and you’ve got a huge traffic jam
I’m sure Waymo will fix this problem though. It’s a great service.

That’s pretty awesome. I haven’t driven that much in year. Have you had any scary interventions or just inconvenient/not quite right stuff?
No safety interventions. Most interventions are for a preferred route change.
about 2600 on the MY since FSD(S) 14.2 release, 98% of which are FSD(S). that does include a 1000 mi round trip to visit friends in OH
no safety interventions. i’d be content if FSD never got any better than this. it’s underpriced at $100/mo. a huge benefit for us as we age and are less comfortable driving at night, driving in rain, etc.

Agreed. They have been losing money for years but investors keep pumping in more capital support.
not available in my state
Investment income allows a P&C insurer to operate with a combined ratio > 1.00.
But agree that Lemonade is milking venture capitalists’ investment sentiments.
The answer is simple: volume.

We have Lemonade! They insured my very old 300k house for $60/month. And in the past 5 or so years they quadrupled our rates and then canceled our coverage. Good times were had by all.
Yaroslav in a self-driving Tesla was our Lyft driver this past weekend. He chatted with us most of the drive with his hands completely off the wheel, even when we were on the highway. We got a giggle when the car went past the entrance to our hotel: he did say you needed human intervention from time to time.

Defensive driving–
Is that supposed to be a good example of it or a bad example of it?
Good? It predicts an accident on one side, coming from behind, and simultaneously knows the opposite side is free.
I’m pretty defensive about every car on the road, and will do things like get over when I think there might be an accident. But not like that.

Seeing a lot of outrage in BC about this story…
A key point is that it sounds like the driver was apparently violating provincial law using full self driving.
