I had a fairly large yard backing up on forest on three sides in the back, two in the front. I decided at some point that mowing was just stupid and gave up on it. I was thrilled with what happened in the back - it was just like this. Flowers started growing, including some I’d never seen before there or since. Birds came and started nesting in the middle of the long grass. The front, I gave in and mowed it a few times.

I lived across the street from this retired military guy who literally mowed his lawn every single day, riding mower on like half an acre. You couldn’t even tell the difference between where he had mowed and where he hadn’t gotten to yet. This guy had a bumper sticker “Never seen a FLAG burned at a GUN SHOW!!”, whatever that meant. They invited me over to their backyard a time or two where they drank Busch Lite and grilled hot dogs over old furniture (seriously). Nice, but well, hmm. Anyway, he drove his mower over and mowed my front yard a time or two when I was out of town.

We wouldn’t even really have the web ecosystem and capable browsers if Microsoft had their way. They pretty much created IE to try to stop web apps from happening.

My schools still had Apple IIes in 1995.

Nevertheless, people still want to know. Tesla apparently has a habit of turning of FSD less than a second before a crash happens. And, Tesla does publicly disavow responsibility. If FSD does something entirely ridiculous like suddenly veer off the road or brake unexpectedly, the driver may not have time to respond. Check out this article and lawsuit for instance:

Tesla’s advanced Autopilot driving system malfunctioned and caused one of the electric car maker’s Colorado employees to drive off the road and die in a fiery crash, a newly filed wrongful death lawsuit alleges.

The car was too mangled to be analyzed as to whether FSD was on. The surviving passenger said yes, the driver was using it. Musk denies it:

“He was not on FSD. The software had unfortunately never been downloaded. I say “unfortunately”, because the accident probably would not have happened if FSD had been engaged.”

Realistically though, when incidents occur, Tesla pretends FSD wasn’t on and they’ll never pay anything.

Agreed on cabs but hotels haven’t changed anything significantly and they’re looking much better than AirBnB at this point.

That’s valid if someone was talking about the first amendment, but that wasn’t mentioned.
