well yes, that’s how insurance works

yeah, but all of those 400-500 kkm cars get bought up by Kazakhstan and similar country importers.

well maybe in 3rd world like USA they do

Well maybe in your 3-rd world they do.

you drive your cars for 300000 miles?

Your Lemmy instance is running under Estonian domain and yet you still imagine the world as just USA

The way of Toyota hybrids! Though those can power wheels somewhat-directly too.

electric cars are expensive, the engines are pretty cheap.

I don’t think that Titanic is a good example. Being inside a ship is disorienting, you don’t see the horizon and it’s always moving. You need to be told to evacuate by people who understand the situation and know what is happening.

Driving a car and not slowing down when you are supposed to doesn’t really compare to that.

Tesla drivers don’t crash their cars because Elon says stupid things. They crash their cars because they themselves are stupid. Everything else is just meaningless justification.

Good thing it’s harder to get a drivers license in Europe. From watching some US driving tests, it seems all you need to do is drive around the block for ten minutes.

That first example is just pure stupidity on the driver - crashes when the “autopilot” makes a sudden, unexpected movement are clearly the automations fault, but seeing that your car isn’t slowing down when approaching a school bus and just “waiting to see what happens” is why that person should never be able to drive ever again.

FYI, imgur specially blocks viewing images when used with more strict privacy settings on Firefox. It even loads the title bar, but then purposefully blocks everything with a gray screen. A better image host would be appreciated!

Seems like 5G has finished the trickle down to budget phones. And it seemed so far away just a few years ago…

Why not help them and install ublock origin?

Many people advise to just quit it anyways and if your family actually cares about you, they’ll switch. Works as a great relatives filter too.
