Yes, driving is a social behavior heavily influenced by culture just like other social interactions between people. Aspects of this are discussed in literature 50yrs ago. Here is a recent work on how social interactions might be translated for automated driving www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Here's a basic study by AAA Foundation for Auto Safety, showing in practice what Liza Dixon's Autonowashing paper explains in theory: that overstating automation makes people use Level 2 driver assistance systems like Autopilot and "FSD" less safely.

The term "Autonowashing" was coined in 2020, in a tweet as it so happens. What a lot of people still don't understand five years later is that misleading marketing actually makes human-in-loop systems less safe. It's not just about deception, it's about safety.

This leaves me at a loss for words. This is a horror movie that no one is brave enough to make 😅

Yes & imagine any other tech leader (especially from a minority group) up there speaking like that

Would it be tolerated?
And celebrated as it is?

(No)

This is so shameful. My grandfathers fought to defeat men like this abroad and now decades later they’re here, pulling strings in the Oval Office

Today I was thinking about how exhausting journalism must be rn. Literally on the front lines getting hit w/ wild sometimes violent happenings 100x a day, forced to digest it all & produce something meaningful while also trying to survive it like the rest of us. Essential work! Ty for your service 🙏

Probably not using “public toilet” correctly. I was only thinking of places I have been to use a toilet without having to ask/exchange money. But by beaches, parks, and tourist hot spots in Florida there are almost always public toilets

Amazing, I would also be enthusiastic! While DE does have public toilets, they aren't as plentiful as in the U.S. & often require you to have a 1 EUR coin and shops like Aldi do not have any public toilet. Result? Frequent public [male] urination 🙄 Sunday? Good luck finding an open shop w/ a toilet

True! And could also be grinch cookies 🎄

Here is the recipe. It calls for 1 tablespoon of matcha for a dozen cookies, but I think it could be cut down to .75 or halved if you/she is matcha sensitive. Enjoy! frommybowl.com/matcha-crink...
