VW is testing its robotaxis in snowy, icy Norway

A taxi service that only operates in good weather isn't a good taxi service.

Tesla could never do this.

Aye, those robotaxis veer right and try to go 88 MPH.

If you drank an alcoholic beverage then the answer is "No, you're not". The legal limit is just that (we have to draw a line somewhere) but that doesn't automatically mean you are fine to be driving if you're (currently) under it. I REALLY wish this became the normal view. Drinking ANY alcohol means not driving.

EVER!?!? I kid, but there has to be a time after having a single drink that one is no longer under the influence. For instance, if one drinks 12 oz. of light beer at noon, when would a 215lb, 6ft person be good to drive? Would 1 PM be reasonable? 2 PM? "Personal decision by vibe" is obviously wrong.

It's pretty easy. Just get a breathalyser, that's what I do in countries with "zero" (below detection level) BAC tolerance laws whenever I've been drinking previously. The alternative is getting breathalysed by the cops, which means automatically losing your driving licence if positive. I add half an hour for good measure, the cheap models aren't that precise.

Or at the very least use a BAC calculator app – very roughly, one light beer (UK pint) at lunch could take around 2‑3.5 hours to eliminate, depending on your sex, metabolism and weight and other circumstances. Use a calculator with your own weight and add half an hour for good measure.

It's not really that hard...

Thanks, I didn't need the condescension, though. It's a succinct comment without "It's pretty easy" and "It's not really that hard..."

Apologies, it wasn't meant that way!

Thank you. I understand how my question could come across "defending" drinking and driving; JAQing off being so common, it's hard to tell anymore when someone is actually seeking illumination.
