There is a huge difference in the hardware and the software used for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for different vehicles.

For example. Mercedes-Benz S-Classes Driver Fatigue Monitoring had been detecting the eyeline and posture of drivers, for 10 years before other manufacturers started using timer-based Driver Fatigue Systems.

The Optical object recognition systems in the ADAS of most Volume brands is barely functional at best, while the single-RADAR object recognition of the ADAS in luxury brands is adequate to reduce collisions.

Even the multi-RADAR systems of premium Luxury vehicles should only be considered “Driver Assistance” .

It is the moral imperative of all humanity to sabotage every self-driving vehicle test in whichever way possible.

So what you are saying that Forbes information should be treated with all the credibility of an LLM output?

That could be argued that they therefore can’t be held liable when they spew utter garbage.

The AlGoRyThMs are what is inducing the social damage.

Even games of chance (like Poker Machines and) would be less destructive if they were fairer and less engaging.

There will be a big curtaining of Apple, Microsoft, Google and Adobe if Facebook, TikTok and Twitter (and YouTube) have their algorithmic feeds outlawed.

It would probably cause the AI bubble to burst too so our OSs, Applications and Search Engines (and Government) would become usable again.

Hydronium H₃O⁺ is the most corrosive acids. Hydroxide OH^- is the most corrosive alkaline.

If you mix them together in a solution you get Hydronium Hydroxide; also known and (2)DiHydrogen Monoxide.

The Australia Competition and Consumer Commission would also have something to say about that too.

And by the time they are, there will be no such thing as freedom of speech.

I deliberately purchased a Suzuki Jimny because I can fix anything that is on it without specialised training or equipment.

The only special tool i would need would be a wrench for the front hubs.

The only specialised equipment is a scantool for configuring the VVT.

In a classic case of “they don’t make them like they used to”, new ICE vehicles are less reliable than new EVs, and have similar (lack of) life cycle.

Older ICE vehicles may not be as efficient, but because they will still be on the road 10-15 years longer than their new equivalents means that they will have less environmental impact.

Our only hope is that recycling of depleted EV batteries becomes a thing in the near future and that recycling of modern composite materials improves to a point where we can use damaged body panels for make new body panels.

Everyone (who doesn’t have waist-down body issues) does too, but car manufacturers can’t charge as much for them.

They therefore lobby governments for tax breaks for the oversized road boats and destroy the market for Japanese kei-cars with tariffs and “safety regulations”.
