This will be interesting to watch. If I bought an autonomous car and the autonomous mode was disabled for a few days or even weeks while a bug was fixed I can always fall back to driving it myself. If that's not possible (maybe because the car doesn't support it or I didn't have a licence or human drivers had been banned) and suddenly it's a whole different situation. Of course owning a car might become less common in itself, if you're just taking them like an Uber you can always switch to a different company.
These cars can and do slow down or even stop and wait for human assistance in response to unexpected situations. I'm actually quite surprised this didn't trigger here, although we don't really know much about the specifics of the situation.
I was surprised that the underlying format doesn't implement compression (though I assume objects can be compressed). Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised since I often get text only PDFs with unreasonably large sizes.
It will do that if it doesn't already know what direction you're travelling, which is usually because you've just activated navigation and you aren't moving yet. Unless I happen to know which direction north is or which way to towards my destination I'll just pick a random direction and it will adjust the route if I guessed wrong.
Previously a lot of carrier would lock down the ability to share a phone's internet connection. This was the main reason cellular hotspot devices existed. Nowadays people just use their phone are we're all better off. Would be great if Framework released a module for it though, it's slightly more convenient that connecting through your phone.
