Human drivers have an extremely long tail of idiocy. Most people are good (or at least appropriately cautious) drivers, but there is a very small percentage of people who are extremely aggressive and reckless. The fact that self driving tech is never emotional, reckless or impaired pretty much guarantees that it will always statistically beat humans, even in somewhat basic forms.

Hard disagree. Pizza is one of those foods which tastes better when eaten by hand.

They do have approved third party body shops. Also mobile service vans. Not sure if this can be done via mobile service but in the past they've done things like computer upgrades.

All EV batteries are already thermally constrained more or less. The only way this really works and scales is if they integrate cooling into the charging standards so that theres like a coolant hookup on the charge cable. Or if they've got some secret superconducting tech.

I am pro second amendment. I believe the constitution explicitly grants the states the right to regulate militias.

Second only to the ones who have them upside down on their hat. You could just leave them in the car but then we wouldn't get to see your $80 big boy flex.

Displaying nuance in "hell" as pushback against the binary concept of good and evil is arguably one of the oldest tropes in fiction. Both ancient Greek and Norse mythology very specifically depict the underworld as a place of ambiguity or even normality, with "heaven" holding a far more exalted status.

Even in Abrahamic mythology the idea of hell being some kind of default punishment for sinners is a fairly modern idea, arguably stemming from Dante, who absolutely works a good amount of sympathy for sinners into the story. It really only is the most recent take on the concept by evangelical Christians which holds that an otherwise innocent person will be tortured for eternity over a mere lack of faith, and that form of absurd extremism certaintly plays a large role in the modern backlash against the concept.
