So what regulators have found here is that Tesla autopilot is essentially able to activate in locations where it is not designed to be used.
This was the subject of a Washington Post report over the weekend. We found there were eight deadly crashes or serious crashes in which autopilot was activated on a road that was not the type of highway, on-ramp to off-ramp, think of an interstate, in which it was designed to be used.

My MOI (moment of insight) was out to lunch. It happens. When it happens, I have nothing to do except relax until it comes back.

Tomorrow will see patchy light rain lingering for some to start but it will turn increasingly dry through the day, with a mix of variable amounts of cloud and occasional bright spells. Mild.

The Girgashites were a group of people descended from Ham and his son Canaan (Genesis 10:16; 1 Chronicles 1:14). Being dwellers in the land of Canaan before the Israelites took possession of it, the Girgashites are listed among the groups of people that the Lord promised to drive out (Deuteronomy 7:1–2; Joshua 3:10). God had promised Abram’s descendants the land of Canaan: “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites’” (Genesis 15:18–21).
