@Teslaconomics here’s 2 examples of Tesla auto braking false positives due to a bike carrier mounted in the hitch receiver. Really annoying. Until the AI is better, there should be a way to disable auto brake while in reverse only.

@WCSOOregon Hyundai Tucson OR plate 303 PEY just ran my wife and I and our two dogs off the road on HWY26 East bound near 185th. We were in passing lane, they jumped two lanes without checking. Had to swerve off into shoulder.

My wife and I recently rewatched Mrs Doubtfire. Wow. Mixed feeling. Robin Williams brilliant as always but yet again it’s another 90s Hollywood production that doesn’t age well when viewed through any sort of diversity lens.

Went camping for a few days and wow I missed a lot. Y’all should go camping. Also, the web is supposed to be accessible for everyone.

This has been on my mind as I’ve attempted using mid journey to generate accessibility art. It’s clear that AI has no idea what accessibility is.
