Yeah I feel you on this one- very similar situation myself! Forget energy, you’ll never have it. Just find the time, and aim racing will give you the buzz you’ve been looking for.

Seemed to be- it was owned by my Mum so there’s no guarantee she’d updated firmware properly or whatever. Come think of it I do remember checking for firmware updates and there weren’t any at that moment in time, but something as severely dangerous as that tainted my view somewhat permanently of it. The only saving grace was the great acceleration: if I wasn’t quick enough slamming the accelerator down a few times I would have been smoosh by a following truck.

I agree with the angle you’re coming from and think you’re right to a degree, but I can hand on heart say Tesla’s automation is the worst I’ve experienced. Have driven the likes of Tesla, VW and Volvo with automated driving capabilities, Volvo came out on top, VW second and Tesla last. I lost track of the amount of times where the Tesla slammed its brakes on randomly when travelling on a motorway at 70mph with seemingly no trigger. The Volvo was the most rock solid where I could actually sit back and let the car do it without feeling like I needed to be ready at a millisecond’s reaction to take over.

Perhaps where Tesla falls down is claiming their software has “Full Self Driving”. It doesn’t, and none of them do- yet.

I…don’t think there’s anyone I’d trust less to create an AI for driving

Yeah it had a pretty rough ride at the start but when it worked, it was really nice tbh.

Damn shame, tbh. Out of all of them I really like the visuals and vibe of Firefish.

Hardly surprised to be honest, I hear there’s good versions of toasters to drive too
