It had prevalence of speeding show no increase, but what about magnitudes of speeding? Or numbers on red lights being ran?
I saw a video recently of an intersection with unbelievable numbers of cars just running the light. lets see if i can find it

When I drive by bicyclists I usually will ride the left side of the lane. If itās tight then maybe Iāll just go a tad over the line and let opposing traffic observe the situation and make room for us; I admit itās a small pleasure when humans coordinate for each other.
I have wondered about how good tesla/waymo are about opting to break laws when itās the human thing to do.

I see your point about the temperature control. What about the defroster? thatās probably a button I would miss if I have to navigate at all; itās one i have to press quickly on the go amidst worsening visibility usually, and if I have to stab at it on a touchscreen I might get irritated. I assume thereās physical control on the steering wheel for volume at least.
My friend has a tesla and I like that thereās karaoke mode for music. I am guilty of enjoying lyrics occasionally for my karaoke playlist in the apple music app (on my dash-mounted phone). Apple left the feature out of their CarPlay app for safety reasons presumably (and thatās reasonable enough). Itās the only thing I really miss from CarPlay and I donāt think I would need any other āfeaturesāā just music and maps. CarPlay and Android Auto have google maps and waze; iirc tesla doesnāt have those and that might be a dealbreaker for me.
As for the autopilot, what is its behavior in the left lane? Does it left lane lurk? I swear we have an issue in the greater seattle area with teslas sitting in the left lane.

Then I wondered if having two women could be an advantage of its own since ice skating is rather artistic and the beauty/grace/elegance of the performance is a major part of the sport (and judging presumably).
Itās interesting and I actually think tradeoffs of team composition might exist for all the combinations, so it could become a point of strategy maybe.

Maybe the automated capping process looses paint particles from scraped caps into the air and some fall into the bottle before the cap is pressed on? lol any other ideas?
EDIT: wait I just realized the article might be talking about testing the containers/bottles themselves rather than the liquid inside? my reading comprehension may be waning

I donāt use it that often and have been on the same bottle for years, but it seems to last pretty long when I do. I liked the skin aqua one too
