Denver's Fox 31 has a pretty good series on bulletproof vests. Here's an interview with a friend of mine who was shot in the chest. His scar is scary impressive - about an inch around, center mass. Gives me goosebumps to hear the 911 call and know that Jon is being shot at.... (As a side note, he's from your neck of the woods...)
How come every time you point out how socialism or communism failed, 'they' come out of the woodwork and tell you it wasn't 'real' socialism or 'real' communism....and the next time it'll work....

How does the new Nissan 'center of a lane' Pro Pilot assist option not help the drunk driver escape being snagged driving home from a bar.
Quote:
ProPilot Assist in the Rogue is a Level 1 self-driving system, allowing the vehicle to control speed, distance from other cars, and keeping the car in the intended lane with minimal input from the driver. Cameras detect lane markings at highway speeds and then adaptive cruise control, lane-keep, and blind spot detection systems keep you in that lane until you deliberately change lanes.

The issue of drunk driving is safety.
If they can drive home safely... well...?
That issue will become further muddled.... What if you call a self driving taxi because you're wasted, and the taxi gets pulled over for... whatever... are you the operator or the passenger?
