I now take two very long walks/day- a "working walk" where I walk and answer emails and think, and a "relax" walk where I leave my phone at the desk and just look at the flowers and houses and dogs. It's been amazing for my mental health, physical health, and productivity.
I have above average adhd, enough to drive my poor wife crazy if I run out of my rx. Walking helps a lot! I probably walk a few miles a day otherwise I begin pacing in my house or office.
Same. I prefer walking outside (as would anyone) but I find even walking within my own home is pretty good, for people who have enough space. I may look like a maniac pacing in circles while watching some philosophical YouTube video on the big TV, but it's nice.
This case makes me think of my brother's place in rural Tennessee. To get to his house, you drive through a small creek, year round. For a hundred years in their community, they've managed without a bridge. I'm not sure driverless cars are ready for edge cases like this. Also, no one tell Enterprise I drove their rental through a creek.
Heck, that was the way I took into the city for work for a few years, shaved a good 30 mins off the commute.
You'd have to hold off for a few weeks every season change while the ice hardened up/melted or get stuck in it (thankfully I tended to get there after someone else found out).
There are many fords in the U.K., and one particularly notorious one, Rufford Ford, ate about one car a day until it shut a few years ago, and one or two people would need emergency services to rescue them every month.
Frankly, you never know when you’re going to have a bad day - I managed to inflict several thousand euro of repairs on my pickup a few months back driving through water that didn’t even come up to the axles - because unbeknownst to me some shithead mouse had chewed through the top of the fuel hose, and water got into the diesel.
So, I expect driverless cars to struggle just as much as humans do.
