There was some hate babbling when that robot taxi company in SanFran published that their autonomous cars were assisted by remote drivers who took over when situations were too complex for the robots.
I think remote support and steering will be the most reliable and practical way those tasks will be handled for the foreseeable future. How much assistance the cars will need may diminish but I don’t think they will ever be able to work without any human assistance.
German renowned institute “Stiftung Warentest” just tested two foldables (both Samsung I think) and had them 50.000 times folded and unfolded (they build machines to torture test stuff) and reported no creases.
50.000 times is over four years for 32 uses every day (twice every wake hour). Would be more than sufficient for a normal user think.
What has the EU ever done for us?
A lot.
Oh you sweet summer child… It’s not an attack when the Führer commands it.
Can confirm that these buttons on the steering wheel of the id4 are really, really dangerous bullshit. I regularly drive those cars as rentals, and I’ve never (not “rarely” - it’s really never) faced a worse decision on buttons in any device I ever handled. Those touchpads are solely the reason I despise all VW-cars - they are complete crap. (I use these cars only for short trips and never activate any system by these buttons after encountering numerous dangerous situations as described in the article.)
What has the EU ever done for us?
Pretty sure they are happy they don’t have “communism” when they pay those bills.
Why would I “see” anyone remote as an avatar over prohibitively expensive gear when a cheap webcam delivers the original picture with all the cues and information we get from conversations face to face? (And without motion sickness as a bonus.)
This vr crap only makes sense for people who don’t want to interact or who can’t interact like normal human beings. Or who aren’t human beings like that insectoid that inhabits Zuckerbergs skin.
Does it still exist? Never heard anything about it after the initial marketing budget was burned through.
It’s shallow marketing blabla? - Always has been.
Pretty sure someone or even several people had that problem pointed out for years - and the management didn’t care for those “negativlings” and ignored the problem.
The rot starts at the top.
This comes after mankind already has come a long way.

You need a lot of company and knowledge and luck to survive without a bigger network (eg a whole country) and without task splitting communities (eg a whole country) supporting the little and big needs just for food, let alone clean water or medicine or hygiene or energy or defense or whatever.
That bunker is just a fancy way to die a little later. He may carry on for a year, maybe even two before lack of everything will kill him - if noone capable attacks that bunker which pretty sure will happen within weeks as it’s a prime target after everything else had been looted.
What has the EU ever done for us?
We are starting now? This late? To “aim to” ramp up?
Bit late I’d say.
Germany the same. Small fine, three month without license, that’s it for killing a human being.
Blocked the account. Nobody needs this shit.
But the bonuses for management were impressive!
And the stakeholders were very satisfied, too.
