The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

Very much so and I expect we will have to wait until Xmas to find out what is going on😵‍💫

#DrWho make it make sense

I have not been well recently and this wee man has been extra snuggly. We adopted him at Xmas and he is still very nervous, but since I have been home, he seems to have settled that bit more.

"Witnessing large-scale systems slowly unravel in real time can be profoundly surreal and frightening. The hypernormalization framework offers a way to understand what we’re feeling and why."

Gosh, yes this!

I am sure there are many folk, like myself, who are saying ‘when M&S come back online….’
First world problems are frustrating #M&S

That just made me laugh out loud!

I totally agree - it’s just a load of fluff and people trying to sell themselves. At least on here we can show our true selves per se. We can talk about academia and research as well as say we had a bad day and my cat is also being an asshole 😀

I seem to find a good amount of academics on here - and it’s far more interesting than LinkedIn - which also does my head in 😀

How can one feel totally exhausted on a Sunday evening, I thought weekends were for recharging. I have been working on edits all weekend and feel totally shattered now.

The wrong ICE is melting The wrong Amazon is burning

Sign of the day…

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Gosh, never thought I would read a statement like this. Very sad times 😞

Our cat is an ass - we adopted him on Boxing Day, he still takes the odd swipe at me and has a real sense of entitlement - a lovable ass indeed.

How stunning is this? Pretty phenomenal image

This is so true

It is clear that they neither understand history nor have they studied it.

I long for the day when I check the news and Trumps name is not in any of the headlines.

Can’t go wrong with Balvenie

#WalvEng what a game! Amazing…. Possibly the best I have seen #Eng play in many years. Brilliant game

I wish I could open the news apps and not see Trump or Putin’s names.

This would be funny if it wasn’t true.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:

-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.

-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.

I did on Thursday for the first time this year and gosh it felt good.

I am in my 50s and started my PhD a few years back - only just submitting before Christmas. Life is very different for those doing it part time, as the FTs tend do form a tight group that eats together etc. involve yourself where you can, so you don’t become distant - unless you want to be that.

On Boxing Day we adopted this lovely chap. His former elderly owner has passed away and the cat sanctuary knew I was looking for an older cat and called me. Still a bit shy, and is anxious to noise, but loves my bed. #catlover #AdoptDontShop #Cats
