Honda has to have one of the worst Lane Keep Assist Systems ever.

Like how tf are you, the computer, gonna push me into the rumble strips and them scream at me on your wittle screen about Lane Departure. Like, I know we're departing the lane. You're the one who took the curve too tight!

And don't even get me started on how awful the line tracking it. Like, oops, lane's getting wider. Better move over really fast and jerk the steering wheel really hard. Wait... what's this "interstate exit" you speak of? Better jerk the steering wheel back the other way and get back centered into the lane we were never supposed to leave.

Oh, the car in front of us is entering the turn lane? Better slam on the brakes and match its speed until it's been fully out of the main lane for a solid fifteen seconds.

And then there are the times it just gives you back control without warning. No audible chime at all. You'll be mid-turn on a curvy highway, and it'll just decide "nope, I'm done" and all off a sudden steering assist is disabled, and you're veering into the next lane, and then you realize the car can't see the lines anymore, so you have to jerk really hard back into your lane, and it's just ugh.

Remember when Honda said all of their cars would come standard with Level 5 autonomy by 2025. Lol.

A BETTER SET OF EYES: COMPUTER VISION TECHNOLOGY TO MONITOR SAFETY ZONES ANDAUTOMATE DRILL PIPE TALLY

An indispensable item for every roughneck is the tally book, used to measure and count the drill pipe entering and exiting the wellbore. The current practice is for a crew member to measure the pipe with a pipe strap and enter the information, each time while tripping, into their tally book. This manual entry is prone to error, leading to potential mistakes in the calculated drilling depth and poorly sequenced lithologies, which in turn may contribute to an unsafe environment and drill bit damage due to inaccurate drillstring length.

These mistakes often require an additional trip out of hole and increase the amount of nonproductive time. Computer vision technology has shown promise in other industries with its ability to automate similar recognition and counting tasks. A dual-use system has been developed where the same cameras for pipe counting can be used for red zone entry detection, holding the potential to enhance the overall safety of the drilling process.

A pilot application has been created serving dual applications: both counting and measuring the pipe entering the wellbore and detecting personnel movement in the red zone during pipe delivery operations. Each stage of the design process was intently developed, considering requirements for both functionalities of the system. This computer vision technology is the first of its kind on a drilling rig. No other system has been developed that accomplishes not only one of the functions, but also two.

Just as we have seen rapid improvements each year in driver assistance technology, the time has come to apply recent advancements in computer vision capabilities to increase the efficiency and overall safety of the rig.

on the way home, the Tesla Model 3 barreled into a tree and exploded in flames, killing von Ohain, a Tesla employee and devoted fan of CEO Elon Musk. Rossiter, who survived the crash, told emergency responders that von Ohain was using an “auto-drive feature on the Tesla” that “just ran straight off the road,” according to a 911 dispatch recording obtained by The Washington Post. In a recent interview, Rossiter said he believes that von Ohain was using Full Self-Driving, which — if true — would make his death the first known fatality involving Tesla’s most advanced driver-assistance technology.

Finally, they have a witness. A survivor of an Autopilot mishap who can testify that the driver was using Full Self Driving mode at the time of the crash.

See, this has been impossible thus far because (1) survivors are rare, and (2) Teslas are programmed to automatically disengage Self-Driving milliseconds before the crash so that when investigators review the telemetry it clearly shows FSD wasn't turned on.

And due to this technicality, Musk has been able to claim Autopilot has never killed anybody. Until now.

Another Sunday another surrogacy scandal

Law enforcement officers from Longhua district in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong Province have identified suspected illegal surrogacy activities such as egg retrieval and embryo transplantation within a residential area, which has sparked widespread discussion, according to the official account of Shenzhen Sanitation Supervision Stations on Monday.

During the on-site inspection, law enforcement officers discovered some liquid nitrogen and gas cylinders at a five-story villa. Officers also uncovered a room on the second floor that appeared to be a packaging and cleaning area, with cleaned surgical gowns hanging inside and surgical packs on the table containing instruments such as vaginal dilators, surgical trays and forceps. The third floor contained a laboratory and operating room, with two rooms connected by a pass-through window for egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

Inside the lab, two operational desktop incubators were discovered, with four to five culture dishes marked with different names inside. Outside the lab, there was a liquid nitrogen tank, from which several EP tubes marked with different names were taken out.

Within the operating room, medical waste such as egg retrieval devices and syringes with liquid were also found. Health supervision law enforcement officers and experts in assisted reproductive technology said the drugs, instruments and equipment found on the scene were all used for egg retrieval, embryo transplantation and other surrogacy activities.

According to Measures for the Administration of Human Assisted Reproductive Technology, sales and purchases of gametes and embryos in any form are prohibited. Medical institutions and medical personnel are not allowed to carry out any form of surrogacy technology.

Among the seven people involved in the case, there were six females and one male. All six females claimed that the male surnamed Liu was responsible for recruiting them. However, when questioned, Liu claimed to be only a cleaner at the premises and responded to the discovery of medical equipment and drugs by "pretending to be deaf and dumb."

After further investigation, law enforcement officers confirmed the identities of the six females on the scene, including surrogate mothers, egg donors, clients preparing for embryo implantation, laboratory operators and two nurses.

Liu, whose real surname is Chen, was identified as the actual operator and manager of the premises. He admitted that the villa was rented for conducting surrogacy activities. In addition, there was a driver responsible for transporting surrogate mothers and egg donors, among others.

Chen was issued an administrative penalty by the health supervision department for illegally conducting human assisted reproductive technology activities without obtaining a Medical Institution Practice License, including confiscation of illegal gains and related drugs and equipment, as well as fines. In addition, other medical personnel involved in the case were also handed corresponding administrative penalties.

Basics About the 2023 Jeep Cherokee

Ahead of Jeep’s planned overhaul of its model lineup for 2024, the 2023 model year has only two trim levels for the Cherokee: the Altitude Lux and the Trailhawk, both of which are available exclusively in AWD.

While both trim levels can drive off-road fairly comfortably, the Trailhawk (as its name would suggest) has a few added features to make trails easier to handle. These include an extra inch of ground clearance, a standard traction-management system, and standard all-terrain tires.

What’s New in the 2023 Cherokee

Engine and Towing Performance

The Altitude comes with a powerful 2.4L four-cylinder engine that can put out 180 horsepower, while the Trailhawk uses a 2-liter, 4-cylinder engine rated at 270 horsepower. Importantly, both trim levels are more than capable of towing heavy loads.

The Altitude can tow up to 2,000 pounds: more than enough for a camping weekend with family and friends. The Trailhawk is rated at a maximum capacity of 4,000 pounds when equipped with the optional trailer tow package, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Interior

The 2023 Cherokee enjoys the comfortable seats and spacious interior that Jeep is known for, with 25.8 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk. With the rear seats folded down, the Cherokee enjoys nearly 55 cubic feet of storage space. Cargo loops can be used to secure your load and ensure it does not shift around while driving.

The 2023 Cherokee makes use of Jeep’s Uconnect infotainment system, which is very easy to use and makes use of a standard 8.4-inch touchscreen display, with an optional subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot available to stay connected while on the go. The Trailhawk trim comes with a 7-inch digital heads-up display for the driver.

Safety Features

Both trim levels offer parallel and perpendicular parking assist features, as well as blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning systems to keep you safe on the road. A togglable lane keep assist is also standard.

Electronic roll mitigation and stability control also help keep your Cherokee level while driving off-road and can even help reduce the severity of a collision while driving in urban environments.
