  • So we will just run for cover from ac spaces to other ac spaces like americans? No thanks.

    AC just displace the issue, you will be good in your ACed appartment but the neighbor who face the exhaust will be blasted with hotter air.

    At a building scale it creates “hot air islands”, at a city/datacenter scale it is +2°C at least in a large radius.

    AC should be only a part of the solution, as it adds more issues (electricity needs, pfas emissions, dangerous fluids management).

    Yes it sucks to have to wait to someone aware that will just respect legal right, and then it is expected to wave a hand to say thanks to the driver. Thanks for letting me in life, thanks for respecting the law.

    Does drivers wave a “thanks” to others when crossing a green light? No.







  • Good to know, thanks!

    It is actually creepy, privacy invading, and dangerous in some cases, I think about the guy who made a video working in the woods, simulating a chainsaw accident, and the car would not start because the driver is not 100% able due adrenaline rush visible on his face.

    That said, it is a mandatory feature from EU made in 2019 for public safety, with an affiched goal to reduce road deaths. The datas would be anonymous, exploited for statistics and must respect UE rgpd. In theory!

    In one hand I find dangerous to track and supervise a population, in the other hand I see way too much dangerous behaviors on the road, especially around pedestrians and bikers, and a system that would say to the driver “hey you fucked up here, don’t do it again” would be nice.

    Just an anecdote, an emergency brake system detected me walking and saved my life by breaking hard cause the driver was distracted (I was on a crosswalk), otherwise I would have been send to orbit.
