NHTSA investigates comma.ai’s openpilot over 5 crashes that killed 3

NHTSA has opened a formal investigation into comma.ai’s aftermarket driver assistance devices after five crashes where cars running openpilot plowed into stopped or slow-moving vehicles in their own lane. Two of those crashes killed three people. The probe covers an estimated 30,000 comma three, comma 3X, and comma four devices.

Okay... Wir haben uns solche Flugzeuge vor zig Jahren für den Modellbau besorgt und seit OpenPilot und Co. dienen sie da schon lange für den zivilen autonomen Flug. Jetzt sind die Dinger, die man als Spielzeug verlacht hat, eine Innovation in der Waffentechnologie. 🤡

Japan just unveiled a drone made entirely of cardboard. It flies at 120 km per hour, can be assembled in 5 minutes, and is designed to be used in massive swarms. The craziest part is it can be mass produced at any regular cardboard factory. The future is cheap.
