Great news. Seek is the #1 app I recommend parents for their children if they’re going to be using a smart phone. A tool that helps us engage with and appreciate our natural environment with nice gamification. Helped me identify some of my favorite sages and other aromatic plants.

Some recent favorites:

- Children of Time (Tchaikovsky)

- A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Chambers)

- Project Hail Mary (Weir)

- The Culture Series (Banks)

- The Expanse Series (Corey)

- The Red Rising Series (Brown)

It was doing its best on automatic but the wipers were sporadic at best. This was a major winter storm and visibility was awful …the model 3 had no idea where the lane lines were and apparently no idea how bad the precipitation was.

Wonderful. I recently rented a model 3 and found it incredibly frustrating that it required multiple touches to adjust settings that would be a single button press on a more traditional car. Don’t even get me started on the windshield wipers - a total nightmare in winter storms and located on the left stalk? These are safety concerns. As long as humans are operating these dangerous vehicles, I vote for fewer driver distractions.

How timely. I was almost hit by a Tesla while on a run yesterday in San Francisco. The driver was not paying attention at all, slowly rolling through a stop sign. While this is one data point and could happen with any type of automobile, this type of behavior in "autonomous" cars worries me a lot - the carelessness other posters have noted in which these drivers put down their guard and think the car is going to do everything for them. They put their full faith in this nascent technology and therefore put others' safety at risk. Sure, I am very excited for this technology to mature, but in the meantime, let's not fool ourselves.

Very cool, thanks! Just some quick feedback - I am colorblind (protan) and cannot distinguish among many of the graph lines or tell which part of the legend each corresponds with. This excellent article has some palette suggestions: https://davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/

100% agree with the article - cars, even in this petite form factor, are not the future of urban transportation. Cycling, electric cycling, scooting, walking and better mass transit will make our cities quieter, safer and more livable. Sure, there is a niche for these cute cars for those unable to use these other forms.
