So they drive just like Marylanders in DC. Probably don't use turn signals either.
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

One of the weirdest things I see in modern media is the complete lack of memory or context. Outlets will at best do a year or so's "huh well this also happened related to the story" but provide little thought otherwise. Even worse in interviews where reporters get amnesia each question

Among the provisions tucked into the bill House Republicans passed this week is a move to limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially shielding the Trump administration from the consequences of violating court orders. Here's what else the GOP slipped into the bill.
