They reduce accidents in general, but bring us some “entertaining” new ones where a (usually) drunk driver crashes into the statue/fountain/whatever in the middle or uses the little “hill” in the middle as a jump ramp…

As opposed to drunk drivers who treat a non-roundabout intersection as a game of Russian roulette?

Before people believe the Tesla robot hype they should probably consider that Toyota has been making cars AND robots for longer than Tesla exists.

And they started making electric cars in the mid-90s. They almost sold 400 of them, so that experience has definitely paid off.

More importantly: it seems like Austin is mostly a typical US city grid of wide streets. Nothing comparable with an average old inner city, or narrow countryside roads with a ditch or cliff or quay on one or both sides. Probably not many pedestrians & cyclists roaming the streets either?

“Pump & Dump” has a very specific meaning here, something that is essentially a scam to cheat people out of their money, and not an actual honest attempt to create something new…

These AI crawlers already steal residential user connections to do their scraping. They'll happily steal your trust tokens too…

There is a Belgian company that can use temperarure & other fluctuations in underseas power & cimmunication cables to detect nearby objects etc. I'm sure they are willing to help the US navy if they can convince them the US is a solid NATO partner… ( oh, wait, that might have become difficult…)

They are not (necessarily) invisible, that depends on size & many other variables.

Also, hypersonic missiles are perfectly vusible on radar.

Economic sense depends on individual/local circumstances also.

The weirdest part was that it increased share value, when realistically it should have decreased it…

Venezuelan oil is more about US refineries that can only use very heavy oil, and US wells for such oil running out. Those refineries decided it is cheaper to bribe Trump than to invest into converting their factories. They are using US tax payer dolars (in a war with Venezuela) to avoid having to invest into their own conpanies.

That makes no sense. Any US refinery that can process heavy sour can also process any other kind of crude. It isn’t the 1950s.

The US has very advanced refinery tech that can adaptively refine everything from heavy sour to light sweet. The reconfiguration for the customer is highly customizable and largely automated. It is why so many countries send their crude to the US for refining. The US refiners make money no what kind of crude you send them.

Yet this is yet another attack that happens while the oil price falls, successfully making it stop falling.

Again, I don't think the explanation is linked to oil prices.
