There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Self driving autos in FL!

Admittedly most of the trials are in the south, so snow is not an issue yet. With 5G communication, snow won't be an issue in any city unless the vehicle is out of its element. Cheap transmitters are coming to every intersection, in every city. All AI vehicles are also going to talk with each other in real time. Non-AI vehicles are soon going to be required to have a communication device attached to their ODB port so that AI vehicles can track them and even control their speed, braking etc.
Right now there are driverless, steering wheelless, no driver seat, AI vehicles traveling the streets of a few major cities everyday. New cities are getting in line to be testing sights. There are also a few hundred long haul AI trucks on the road everyday (with backup drivers). Their brains are digital and they are programed to drive safely; not text, answer phones, eat, drink, sleep, exhibit road rage, break traffic laws, DUI, etc. When was the last time you heard of a human beating a digital brain at chess?
The cost of insurance and cities restrictive laws against human drivers will be what forces us into AI. Human transport will have to park at the edge of the city and move to AI to get around from there. People can stick their head in the sand if they want. Perhaps some may still have some phone booth manufacturer stock. Just know that AI is coming and its coming fast.

They have been available the whole time and evolving. Most just failed to buy them as they have been very expensive to buy and operate. Closer now than ever before to being affordable, and they are electric. AV and remote control drones are currently filling taxi and delivery roles, in a few markets. More to quickly come.

That was his last movie. I believe that he passed before it even got to the theaters...

Hi Easy,
Re ( again ): drivers passed out behind the wheel.
'Symptoms include periods of excessive daytime sleepiness that usually last from seconds to minutes and may occur at any time.'

I've suffered from it my entire adult life. And, I have fallen asleep at the wheel a number of times.
:yikes:

In Florida? Will they have the blinker on all the time and drive 10 mph under the speed limit to fit in?

Of course they will......... it is the law here. It is in the driver's Handbook........ next page after "Turning left across 2 lanes of traffic without using the blinkers".
That comes under Bingo Night Rush Hour rules for "The Villages".

Biggest hazzard in this part of FL is Tourist, who haven't a clue where they are going and anything can happen on any day, but especially on Fridays, when they come to the beach.
can't cover every situation.

There is also the law to plow into 30 pedestrians and not know what happed.
I'll be one of them come November so beware especially as I have to drive on the wrong, I mean right side. Hope you don't have any roundabouts! Only beach we will be visiting is Cocoa Beach as we grew up with I dream of Jeannie.

Yeah, we do have a few round-a-bouts. Unfortunately, the suspension of safe driving rules only applies to little old, blue haired ladies in Caddies. Visitors from Oz still have to obey the traffic rules.
