You're still in control of the vehicle, therefore you're still liable. Like plopping a 5 year old on your lap to drive while you nap, if they hit people it's still your fault for handing over the control to something incapable of driving safely while you were responsible for the vehicle.

Teslas own warnings and guidance assert that drivers should remain ready to take control when using the features. They do not claim it is infallible. Oversight and judgement still need to be used, which is why this argument wouldn't hold up at all.

Lacking a centralised server that even self-hosted instances must use to validate admins and will render your instance inaccessible if Plex's server goes down again?

I'm fine with that.

Still waiting on rpmfusion to update. I wonder how long I'll have to wait

Could this be because space isn't a true vacuum? There's pockets of gas and crap, which could affect the speed of the light as it travels to us?

Cost.

Switching to electric means buying multiple batteries and replacing all of your kit and outfitting the vehicles with the capability to charge those batteries during the day (because charging takes time and isn't as quick as just filling up a tank of gas).

Sticking with the existing gas ones costs nothing.

Yes there are potentially long-term cost savings and yes it would reduce noise pollution but if anyone thinks these kinds of purchasing decisions are made on the basis of what would be sensible in the long term, they need to get out and live in the real world a little. Sad but true.

So what?

Practicalities of life, innit? Isn't enough money to invest in the long-term best options for everything so you pick your battles. Id rather see investments in big infra and updating the energy grid, not replacing the odd leaf blower.

Same. If it weren't for substance painter and a few other DCC apps I'd have already moved over.
