So...why would satisfied with parents go up and satisfaction with life go down because of IG? I think IG sucks in general, but why are these being paired together?
 
That doesn't answer my question really...I know IG is harmful...why is it being contrasted with how young people feel about their parents?
 
I guess it's to show that teen happiness used to be closely correlated with a stable home and positive parental relationships, until the age of social media, and especially Instagram

Tesla's recall of 2 million cars relies on a fix that may not even work

Tesla agreed to the recall last week after a federal investigation the system to monitor drivers was defective and required a fix.

The system sends alerts to drivers if it fails to detect torque from hands on the steering wheel, a system that experts describe as ineffective.


Government documents filed by Tesla say the online software change will increase warnings and alerts to drivers to keep their hands on the steering wheel. It also may limit the areas where the most commonly used versions of Autopilot can be used, though that isn’t entirely clear in Tesla’s documents.


NHTSA began its investigation in 2021, after receiving 11 reports that Teslas that were using the partially automated system crashed into parked emergency vehicles. Since 2016, the agency has sent investigators to at least 35 crashes in which Teslas that were suspected of operating on a partially automated driving system hit parked emergency vehicles, motorcyclists or tractor trailers that crossed in the vehicles’ paths, causing a total of 17 deaths.



But research conducted by NHTSA, the National Transportation Safety Board and other investigators show that merely measuring torque on the steering wheel doesn’t ensure that drivers are paying sufficient attention. Experts say night-vision cameras are needed to watch drivers’ eyes to ensure they’re looking at the road.


“I do have concerns about the solution,” said Jennifer Homendy, the chairwoman of the NTSB, which investigated two fatal Florida crashes involving Teslas on Autopilot in which neither the driver nor the system detected crossing tractor trailers. “The technology, the way it worked, including with steering torque, was not sufficient to keep drivers’ attention, and drivers disengaged.”

Remember when Elon said that without self driving cars (which autopilot is supposed to be the working beta version of really), Tesla was worthless?

I 'member

This is basically admitting that "autopilot" simply can't be implemented now or anytime soon.
