Except every car I’ve ever seen it implemented in malfunctions 1000 times more than it ever works properly. I always signal and find lane departure to be incredibly dangerous. If you trust your cars algorithm more than your own eyes, I don’t trust you on the road.

100℅ this. Lane departure seems far more dangerous on than off.

The problem with some of these “safety” features is they malfunction at such a high rate they seem more likely to kill me than save my life. They also don’t anticipate future consequence in any way.

The collision detection malfunctions regularly giving a loud beep or applying breaks when nothing is ahead.

The lane departure does not understand situations where you had someone wander into your lane and you may drive onto the shoulder quickly before signalling. I don’t need my car fighting me while im making the correct call. I also think having the car take over, even gently, is so startling that it could cause the accident it was meant to prevent. If I’m startled I might over correct and lose control. While that has never happened, with everything considered, it seems safer to leave some of these features off.

I don’t need to be an early adopter on flawed technology that could get me killed.

My car has micro wires in the front window, smaller than the ones in the back. Maybe it refers to this?

Yes, just what aurora app store detects loaded in the app.

YouTube just has google firebase analytics (which I also don’t want)

8 trackers from 6 different companies, hard pass.

You must be oblivious if you think this isn’t already happening. The us left wing is more organized than any time since the robber barons. Why do you think the right is fear mongering and getting more aggressive every day. Unions are on the rise, community signal chats, parallel system, all happening. None of that is a magic wand. People are still holding their breath, because if the left makes the first move, the fascists will certainly use it as an excuse to end elections. What you are drooling for is violence, which will only make things worse.

I live in the Midwest and there are busy Indian restaurants everywhere. The twin cities and Chicago both have some of the more diverse food scenes per capita in the country.

Broccoli, grapefruit, swiss chard

It sounds like some of the people around you are very rude. No one in my circle would care one bit if you ate something and stopped eating because you didn’t like it. I’m sorry you have people around you that do this.

This, mostly what I buy are things that save me from needing to buy things. Tools, server hardware, looking for a food dehydrator for my garden, etc. I can’t stand giving any money to a corp that backed fascism so I avoid them at all costs.

If you really want to startle them awake:

Wannabe - Spice Girls has an abrupt start. Someone woke me up that way when I was young and I hated it.

There are all kinds of things that the law says to do that isn’t optimal. Sometimes the right thing to do isn’t ideological, but realistic and practical. I agree everyone should collectively slow down, not because its lawful but because it is safer. But until they do, I will always pick the safer option over what is lawful. Lawfulness is not a barometer of ethics, its a tool of power.

Nowhere in the article does it say that. Your ego is more important than your own life or the life of others, that tracks with both of your comments.

the core insight remains widely accepted in traffic engineering: deviation from the average traffic speed, especially on high-speed roads, is a significant risk factor.

Certainly it is safer if everyone everyone drives the speed limit, lowering the speed of traffic. But that’s not realistically what happens. I’m talking about when you are around other cars that are all going over the limit. The difference in speed between vehicles is also dangerous. When you drive slower than traffic you become a hazard and bottleneck that raises the danger of everyone near you. Better to be alive than “right”.

The title is clickbait, its really about difference in speed: https://seasia.co/2025/09/05/driving-slower-is-actually-more-dangerous-than-driving-fast

Challenge your assumptions.

The safest speed to go is the speed of traffic. If the limit is 55 and you are driving 52 but everyone else is driving 62, you are the most dangerous person on the road.

Is the link dead, or is it because I’m on their ban list?

English is one of 2 official languages there and Christianity is the primary religion.

My research in school was exactly this, I set out to prove people on social media lacked social connection irl. What I found out was the opposite, the more people were trying to connect online directly correlated to connecting more offline. Some people just seem to crave those connections anywhere they can get it.
