The article is vague, but I suspect this is referring to FMVSS-127 which makes certain active safety features mandatory in 2029 and also increases the difficulty of some required to pass scenarios. The new scenarios require responding from higher initial speeds which effectively requires longer sensor ranges and/or lower latency.

AV’s with enough sensing are generally quite good at stopping quickly. It is usually the behavior prior to the critical encounter that has room for improvement.

The question will be whether 17 mph was a reasonably cautious speed for this specific scenario. Many school zones have 15 mph limits and when there are kids about people may go even slower. At the same time, the general rule in CA for school zone is 25 mph. Clearly the car had some level of caution which is good.

I don’t add any ads.

Thanks! Any and all feedback always appreciated. It’s been fun pulling together.

Yep. Not great data science, although the conclusion is likely true-ish.

Also I suspect big urban vs suburban vs rural differences in current EV buyers given range and charging factors. That happens to also mostly correlate to politics.

Many times, the best solutions are very simple. These often seem obvious in hindsight, but were at the time either non-obvious or dismissed prematurely.

Your explanation is so much more succinct than the article!

I believe buried in there is one other factor that is somewhat related:

- reducing friction helps drive more legitimate business. Accordingly, over-aggressive anti-fraud practices can result in reduced sales.

A toy example: a business could eliminate exposure to credit card fraud by not accepting credit cards. That would however reduce overall sales.

I guess this can all fit within a “marginal cost” explanation though.

Totally not equivalent in my view. In traditional interviews, I’m also interviewing the company to see if I want to work with these people.

A take home assignment only shows me that they like unpaid work.

Despite all the caveats / problems on statistical significance and methodology, 1 key takeaway:

“Unemployed” engineers communicate better than those at Uber, Twitter, Amazon, and Google.

Was wondering how much temperature matters, and thinking probably a lot. Do I even know what room temperature white wine tastes like? Not really.

Wow, so many replies that boil down to “because typing is better, you should just type”.

This is fairly insulting as RSI’s are very much a real thing.

Does this community also think that wheelchair ramps should never be invested in because stairs are clearly superior?

I’d rather see the brain power in this community focused on solutions. Keyboard + mouse have lasted so long because they work surprisingly well, but I hope there is a day that we dream up something better that does not require slowly giving ourselves carpel tunnel.

+1 anecdotally I think it is often a combination of factors. And once you start looking/ exploring and realize you can get a comp adjustment, then that becomes an easily quantified motivator to pull the trigger.
