hey it turns out one of the autonomous car companies has a bunch of vans on the road that literally don't fucking work. who knew (it was me, i knew)

who could have predicted that left turns would be incredibly difficult for computers to understand, other than everyone, and especially a shithead like me? because i absolutely said "autonom ous cars will slam on their brakes in the middle of left turns"

i have been saying this verbatim for years because it's actually impossible for a computer to understand whether a left turn is safe. it cannot be done. can not. it is not in the realm of possibility.

in the middle of a left turn, you will suddenly be facing a bunch of cars head-on. it would be irresponsible not to program a failsafe that considers that to be an emergency situation. overriding that failsafe will only result in avoidable accidents.
