Something like Ansible won’t help you the first time around, but it’ll make the next times easier.

Mint is my go to suggestion for new people switching over.

That is terrifyingly true. Wired cameras all the way.

If your interview involves telling me a username is “something you are” rather than “something you know”, I’m running away from that job as fast as I can.

I think people should be able to call a wrong out without having to call all wrongs out.

It’s disingenuous to compare a Tesla care that has far less autonomous capabilities with a car that is fully driverless. Tesla cars are more of a stopgap between “normal” cars and fully autonomous cars. To compare a Tesla car that requires a driver behind the wheel and one that doesn’t is, in my opinion, a silly comparison. Of course they will have different levels of required sensors.

I agree that if LIDAR is too expensive, it’s a hindrance into the changeover from “normal” cars to more self-driving cars for the average consumer. But again, to compare a car that has it’s design goals to be for the average consumer based on price and a car that has it’s design goals to be fully autonomous is silly.
