I think I heard if you drink raw milk with H15N while you have measles you get immunity to H15N!

Measles wipes your immune system as well. You’ll be having a miserable next decade or longer getting sick from everything again.

lots of evidence starting to point to it’d be quicker in 32 hour weeks than 40

Lol of course not, but it’s assembled somewhere (with people or expensive robots) which is why it has a cost more than the simple cost of the button itself. It’s a bespoke piece of hardware specifically designed for the vehicle instead of a commodity LCD screen which can be mass produced for multiple vehicles, (edit and as I said, is already required in the vehicle for a backup camera at a bare minimum, so it’s just the upgrade cost for a slightly more expensive screen, not a screen vs no screen)

Okay, so you admit, using a screen saves money.

Thank you, it was a pleasure watching you come to the realization.

You’re contradicting yourself LOL

I don’t believe that.

Monroe has talked about how they removed some bolts that weren’t absolutely necessary from the vehicle, saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars. In that case, it’s fine.

Its okay if you don’t like it, but come on dude, a screen is going to be cheaper by 10s or maybe a hundred dollars a car. Were talking 10s of millions or more saved with any company doing this at scale.

The button might be 1c, but you gotta wire it, install it, warranty it etc etc. It’s not as inconsequential as you might think. And there’s a lot of them.

A screen is the screen and the wiring to the computer.

It’s a couple skus to maintain instead of dozens. It’s 1 warranty item instead of dozens.

Also if one piece of that dash isn’t available, one button, one wire etc, it can slow production. So a single screen can be a smoother production line experience

edit: Also all cars are already required to have a screen for the backup camera, so there’s already a mandatory cost there. It’s not like they can just forgo a screen entirely.

It might not be a good idea, but it absolutely will save a noticeable amount of money per vehicle.

Big boom big boom whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna a do when they come for you

Not sure why that is, but they do make a noise when they’re like all cars.

Your point? It’s a button, it passes the law.

The law is about the buttons I listed. Those were in the article.

I would sure love to see the proof that “FAA assessment is single digit months to catastrophic failure, putting air traveler safety at serious risk.” from a wholly independent authority.

A note written on a paper napkin won’t do.

Puppets are very serious business.

I know people like to harp on Tesla about this, but ALL of the mandatory controls can be done with stalks/buttons/wheels and have been for awhile

Hazard warning lights - button

Indicators - stalks or buttons

Windscreen wipers - button to initiate, wheel to choose intensity (or press button again to increase intensity). Button then wheel to turn off.

SOS calls - N/A

Horn - Press the wheel

The only one that Tesla didn’t always follow was the wipers, but that’s no longer the case, glad they finally listened on that one.

Is there actually any OEM that doesn’t meet these requirements? I agree though, these are good bare minimum requirements.

Edit: I could also see merit to adding a defog one as that could be a critical timing thing.

Jesus Christ, I thought this was about Monolith Soft and was devastated for a moment.

Queue the childs parents: If only we’d known how dangerous measles was we’d have gotten our child vaccinated!

Seems problematic that it would be revenue based and not profit based?

If they have to give up half of the revenue, things might not be profitable to run after having to cover all their expenses.

Hey AI can you swap this 2015 corolla with a green 2019 Mazda 2.

Keep the license plate the same!

And remember THERE ARE FOUR PASSENGER DOORS NOT 6

Ummm

He can fire them, break the law in doing it, and be immune.

It does not mean the firing remains valid and the people lose their job because it broke the law. They have legal protections too.

It’s like saying I had a meth lab and the cops busted it, but because I couldn’t be criminally charged, I also get to keep the meth lab. That’s not how it works lol. They take the meth lab, you just don’t go to jail.
