Exclusive details: ‘It has been a struggle for [our client] to even talk about it enough for us to be able to file this lawsuit on her behalf,’ attorney Quinton Seay told The Independent
Even without the disclaimers, I don’t think I’d have taken either of these as directed at me, though I’m sure I’ve misinterpreted people in that way. S’all good.
power steering
Haha, holy shit, I’ve briefly had a car without power steering. Fucking nightmare. Shit’s not safe. Having my rear brakes low level leaking brake fluid was better than that, and that was incredibly bad.
Properly functioning lane assist probably saves a lot of lives due to driver fatigue.
On the one hand, I’m sure it has prevented accidents, but this really just reinforces my terror - if someone can’t recognize when they’re so fatigued that they’re relying on lane assist technology to keep them from crashing, they’re way beyond the point where it’s unsafe to be driving.
free up mental space
they don’t re-allocate their attention to other aspects of managing the vehicle

I thought those were a positive development previously, even if they aren’t something I regularly “benefit” from. Thanks for scaring me out of that train of thought.

I’m sure in a vacuum and sufficiently engineered they are a generally positive development in the short term at least. I don’t remember specifically reading horror stories about them or anything, though it sounds like you can attest to them being insufficient to avoid wiping out bikes so I figure they’re questionable at best.
They’re just sort of emblematic of a broader issue where tech-first “solutions” for increasingly marginal problems are probably leading to a dangerous infantilization of the population, with questionable benefits, especially in the long run, given how unreliable our regulators are and our system’s propensity to only optimise for the short term.

Yea I don’t remember you ever misinterpreting me like that but it happens pretty regularly in general when I don’t clarify my intent or w/e, which is understandable.

Honestly, I don’t notice how new the car is. I just see them getting way too close and wondering if they saw me at all or not.
I don’t remember you ever misinterpreting me like that
It’s definitely something I do at times. And yet I also am far too often a sarcastic asshole who lets other people misinterpret me even if I understand that’s happening.

Repeatedly.
