<p>yes. it's an argument that since EVs are heavier than fossil-fuel vehicles due to their batteries, that they generate more particulate emissions (brakes/tire dust) than fossil-fuel vehicles.<p>it's a wrong argument, but it's still circulated in groups of factually-challenged people</p>

<p>ev particulate is identical if not less than fossil fuel.<p>same tires (actually a little harder due to being LRR tires)
same brakes (that get used significantly less thanks to regenerative braking)</p>

<p>It's infinitely better than HDA2 at tracking and maintaining lanes.<p>HDA2 cuts out if there is a break in lines more than 50ft or so.<p>Openpilot can track the slightest of roads, even able to follow off-road the tracks in grass from a leading car.<p>It does basically everything HDA2 does and then some, and does it much better.<p>It has a driver-monitoring camera that <i>you</i> control, that monitors for inattentiveness which is much more effective than simple wheel-torque based sensors.</p>

<p>The hardest thing about splicing fiber is not splicing fiber(at least not anymore)<p>It's cable management and routing to keep things from kinking and breaking while accounting for cable flexing, thermal expansion, and unforseen circumstances like another company lashing their cables to yours for vertical support.<p>All while maintaining future serviceability</p>

<p>I hope they start to-reinvent the way things are accessed so that I can stop being the product.<p>You can already ask ChatGPT for product recommendations and they(at least in what they say) don't take product placement or ad money.<p>It would be incredibly refreshing to have a portal into the current internet in which I am not the product.<p>I'd pay them substantially to be an unbiased assistant rather than some conglomerate shoving whatever they're paid to shove down my throat</p>

<p>fwiw I've heard from others that their experience with Kia has been much better. That seems hard to believe since Kia is owned by Hyunday.<p>I definitely expected more Hyundai when I bought the most expensive EV they had to offer at the highest trim level available.</p>

<p>If you have a problem they take 4 weeks to fix it all while you're paying $50+/day for a rental car that they will fight you tooth and nail on reimbursing.<p>One local dealer refused to honor under warranty the work another dealer did.<p>If you have any damage (even minor cosmetic) they will blame that on your issues regardless of relativity.<p>(I have a Hyundai that's had the ICCU replaced once, the ABS IEB twice, and the low-voltage battery 3 times, two of the 3 times on my dime. All on a less than 3-year-old car with less than 100k miles)<p>The company has been miserable to deal with compared to my past experiences with other brands.</p>
