They can't reach perfection. Even trains aren't perfect and they have less to deal with. We just need "better than average human driver". But people still won't like that because it's easier to sue a human driver. How do you blame a computer for a mistake? Who do you PUNISH!

The computers don't know how to be dicks and purposefully drive close to bike riders. They also don't get mad and perform dangerous road rage acts.

I disagree with Tesla because they are dangerous, but the overall industry is working to improve.

We keep pretending that it's hard to break up their alliance, or acting like they're much more unified and on message than the normal people, AKA the rest of us.

But that's just not true.

Their alliance is extremely fragile, other than their all consuming hatred of Black people for no reason.

I had to look it up because I have nothing to indicate a start for They Who Returned. I think it recommended getting an Echo locator once upon a time but I'd completely forgot about it. I think I even have a locator in storage somewhere.

I have some atlantid drives packaged from the expedition, but I can't unlock the blueprint without doing the In Stellar Multitudes questline which requires the They Who Returned.

Without the blueprint, the freighter can't get the drive.

They aren't pawn shop or survival experts, either. They do know what sells tv, though. I suspect everything is a mixture of reality and fiction, but they ARE making adjustments. "Reality" tv doesn't exist; not even when they call it news.
