#Erinnerungen

🇩🇪 Vor genau vier Jahren. Mein erster Monat im Taxi-Unternehmen:

Zurück an der Dialyse:
_Ich
: "Ich habe mit Frau J. noch eine kleine Sightseeing-Tour durch ihren Ort unternommen. Weihnachtslichter gucken und so."
Chef (mit angetan fragenden Blick): "Oh?!"
Ich: "Nun ja, beinahe hätte ich sie im falschen Pflegeheim abgeliefert..."
Chef: 🤦🤷_

🇫🇷 Il y a exactement quatre ans. Mon premier mois dans l'entreprise de taxis :

de retour à la dialyse :
_moi
: "J'ai encore fait un petit tour touristique avec Madame J. dans sa ville. Regarder les lumières de Noël et tout ça".
Le chef (avec un regard interrogateur et séduit) : "Oh ?!"
Moi : "Eh bien, j'ai failli la déposer dans la mauvaise maison de retraite...".
Le chef: 🤦🤷_

🇬🇧 Exactly four years ago. My first month at the taxi company:

Back at the dialysis unit:
_Me
: "I took Mrs J on a little sightseeing tour of her town. Looking at Christmas lights and all that."
Boss (with an enamoured, questioning look): "Oh?"
Me: "Well, I almost dropped her off at the wrong care home..."
Boss: 🤦🤷_

Magna’s new rearview mirror cleverly integrates a driver-monitoring system to alert you to being distracted away from the road

Magna’s solution is to put the camera into a rearview mirror. The camera and infrared illuminators are embedded behind the glass, with a circuit board containing the necessary electronics for eye tracking. And since the camera is mounted high up in the cabin and has a wide field of view, it could also monitor the other occupants if desired.

Privacy-focused readers should rest easy—this DMS (driver-monitoring system) does not record video, nor can it pass video into anyone’s cloud. All the processing happens in the mirror, with the car just being given alerts if the mirror detects the driver is looking in the wrong area for too long. (In the past, Volvo has told us its DMSes work in a similar fashion.)

Magna has signed its first customer for the DMS mirror, but until that OEM makes the relationship public, all Magna can tell us is that it’s a German automaker. Expect to see the first models sporting this mirror on the road in Europe early next year, then here in the US by fall 2024.

I’m a great fan of biohacking stats, so I’d be really interested in seeing my “alertness index” over time (if such a thing were to be available).

Tesla FSD Beta Drive From Café


This is a drive with Tesla FSD Beta (Version 10.69.3.1.) from a café in Clovis, CA. The system beeped at me a few times, as I was too slow to touch the steering wheel. At the end of the video there is wheel chair user at the intersection visible, who is recognized as “bicyclist”by the FSD Beta.
