It’s not open source in the full sense of open source, but the source code is available for download. You can do whatever you want with it, the only main catch is that you can’t distribute any modified versions.

Huh, well how about that, you’re right, no option for that. Well, it doesn’t bother me anyways, maybe one day they’ll add the option. 🤷‍♂️

I’m still learning the ins and outs of Grayjay, but apparently the answer is yes.

Grayjay…

I’m being perfectly honest here, I tend to have very fast reaction time behind the wheel. But you’re right, not everyone has fast reflexes in an emergency pinch like that.

Still, I’m not about to wait on the lag of computer chips and shit to just have to guess if the vehicle is going to respond the way I’m trying to control it.

I don’t want lag, I want 100% realtime control.

Hell, I’m a nerd and I don’t trust chips.

Edit/Addendum: I prefer older model vehicles that weren’t built with spyware…

I’ve been in a situation before where braking would have been the worst idea.

Like a split second later and I would have slammed into the side of the dude that backed out in front of me.

But I realized that very quickly and decided not to hit the brakes at all. I just quickly jerked my steering wheel to the left, which minimized the damages to the corners of our bumpers.

Ask AI to do that kind of maneuver on the fly and it’ll totally fuck up, because AI doesn’t actually know how to drive…

Sometimes, brakes are not the way.

Sometimes, steer the wheel hard left or right real quick to avoid a side impact.

I guess AI hasn’t ever lived a day in the real world…

Indeed you’re right, the following drivers should have been paying more attention. Regardless, shit happens, whether it’s a wet noodle or a dry chip controlling the vehicle.

How about a sideline test, send a half dozen electric vehicles through a tunnel, all on autopilot, and have the lead vehicle blow a tire. What would all the following vehicles on auto drive end up doing?

I hear ya, but it would have to be done with at least some form of red safety indicator, like…

“NO CONNECTION, LOCATION ESTIMATED”

On a side note, why don’t Teslas obey the law that says not to stop in tunnels?

And it still might take a minute or two for your cellular to reconnect to gather further directions.

Some apps just might be better about the cellular reconnect side than others, I haven’t tried them all.

Even then, it can take over a minute to reconnect to some cellular networks after a tunnel blackout, which may exceed the timeout of some mapping app data requests.

GPS doesn’t work in tunnels, and it takes a number of seconds for it to reconnect and get GPS coordinates again once you come out of the tunnel.

This is true for all GPS apps and services.

It’s not just March 14th, it’s also our next lunar eclipse (here in the US at least), peak eclipse at about 1:59am…

3.14159

I set alarms in my watch months ago, before ever learning how that date is also going to affect technology and security certificates and shit.

I do hope the weather will be nice early that morning to be able to see the π lunar eclipse at least.

From my understanding, they’re pushing this shit on March 14th.

Also our next lunar eclipse, at least in the USA.

Yay, π

Privacy based apps like that don’t try to run the ‘algorithm’ on you to track what sort of content you do and don’t like.

So, they don’t build a profile of you to recommend content. Welcome to privacy.

Edit: Hey, at least you get to search for what you want.

Wait, you can search keywords on Lemmy?

I dunno, I mostly use Jerboa on Android, as far as I know Jerboa can only search for communities, unless I missed something or perhaps need to update Jerboa.

I don’t want to be in the US either, but sadly I don’t qualify for deportation. Not exactly sure where I’d go, but Sweden sounds alright, I’ll just have to get used to the colder weather…

They were all 3 given to me, one originally intact and 2 more as scrap parts. I would have never bought them myself. Hell, it’s so low on my priorities list, I haven’t even bothered trying to fix one in the past 6 months or more.

Also, I never said I flew in any area that would put anyone in any sort of danger, nor do I ever intend to. I study ergonomic controllers and might rearrange the controls to be more intuitive, in an open public park, so what?

I’d appreciate if you didn’t try to imply some nefarious activity without some sort of evidence. But fuck China, they don’t need my goddamn GPS coordinates!

Bleh, I’ve only ever flown a drone a few days at a time out at our city park. Then I criticize their controls and rewire the controller to be more intuitive, which lets me fly it fairly easily even in 30mph winds, but always seems to burn one of the motors up within 3 days.

I ain’t flying the things to spy on anyone, I’m just trying to improve their controls.
