Presumably by the driver not paying attention to the whole "you are still in charge and must be paying attention and ready to take control" thing? The explanation makes perfect sense as to why the car brake, but the driver probably should have. There are already so many videos out there of people sitting in the passenger seat, reclining back out of sight, etc etc stupid tricks with a system that isn't designed for that, perhaps this was just another instance where something unluckily went wrong? Tesla have been pretty clear about who's in charge during autopilot use, but they've also not entirely discouraged the various stunts.

The beta’s face off! How does Apple's iOS 10 compare to Google's Android Nougat? While both operating systems aren’t scheduled to ship until later this year, Apple and Google now has issued betas of the next major upgrades to their smartphone OSes. It’s often been noted that as the operating systems have matured, both iOS and Android have “borrowed” key features from one another, with the end result being the two different OSes becoming more similar. But could either one become more distinct? Do the latest betas suggest one might come out on top (at least for this year)? That’s what we’re here to decide. Now let's take a look at all the major differences—if any—between iOS 10 and Android N. iOS 10 vs. Android N: UI and notifications While it’s fair to say that iOS and Android have been moving towards missile ground as far as a design aesthetic goes, both iOS 10 and Android N sees them taking slightly different approaches to achieve the same design aesthetics as the other. For starts with Android N, notifications have now been redesigned. They are much easier to read, have minimalistic borders, occupy the width of the screen, have smaller fonts, and can be tacked together based on app. In other words, they resemble iOS notifications more. But iOS 10 is taking cues from the Android design department as well. It’s no bringing widgets to the home screen, although implementing them differently. Thanks to 3D Touch, now when pressing on an app’s icon a widget will appear—such as the current temp for the weather widget. This allows iOS 10 to gain home screen widgets, while also lets it keep them out of sight most of the time. iOS 10 vs. Android N: deleting stock apps Both iOS 10 and Android N allows you to now delete some stock apps. “Delete” is a little misleading, because you are actually just hiding the apps, not truly removing them from your device. And both iOS 10 and Android N doesn’t allow you to hide all the stock apps—just some, those that Apple and Android’s handset manufacturers allow you to. iOS 10 vs. Android N: photo app In iOS 10 the Photos app got a major improvement. It now uses machine learning to identify people, places, and objects inside your pictures and allows you to sort and search photos by those parameters. For example, Photos now knows which of your pictures have water in them. Search “lake” or “ocean” and it will return pictures of lakes and oceans. The app also now creates automatic slideshows and videos of your best pictures. If all this sounds familiar it's because it's what Google’s Photo app has been doing for almost a year. As you can see, now the Photos apps on both Android and iOS are tied feature-for-feature. iOS 10 vs. Android N: music app Apple’s new Music app in iOS 10 has gotten HUGE makeover. It’s now got a more simplified, easier to navigate interface. This is primarily so more people will give its Apple Music streaming service a try. But the music app on on Android, called Play Music, is still better. Why? Because Play Music is built around both streaming and individually downloaded songs, meaning it really cares about music fans no matter how they like to get their tunes. iOS 10 vs. Android N: updates Though not really a feature, it’s worth noting that Android seems to get more updates pushed to it faster, than iOS does. This has been true for a while now since Android has been untethered for longer from its stock apps than iOS has been. Most stock apps have long been available on the Google Play store meaning Google could concentrate on just releasing updates for the main OS, instead of having to update every default app at the same time. It’ll be interesting to see if updates to iOS 10 speed up now that you can delete/hide stock apps from the OS. iOS 10 vs. Android N: personal assistants Perhaps the biggest feature in iOS 10 is Siri is massively improved. Not only is the personal assistant getting improved features, it’s now being opened up to third-party developers so they can link into Siri—making her usefulness grow exponentially. Siri’s big competitor on Android is Google Now. for years Now has been better at Siri thanks to Google's algorithms. But with iOS 10 it’s possible Siri could overtake Now as the best personal assistant out there yet. iOS 10 vs. Android N: verdict It’s never an easy call when comparing to mobile operating systems. Who wins this time? It’s safe to say that iOS 10 has more big features and improvements than Android N. However, taken as a whole, both operating systems are closer in features to each other than ever before. So what we’re going to do is wait until each of these OSes get out of beta to judge which is truly the best. Stay tuned!
TL;DR - IOS10 is better for Apple users, and the poorly-named Nougat is better for everyone else. Both are better than their predecessors. Nobody will change because of any advantage one holds over the other.
I wouldn't bet your house on that. Also, Nougat is perfect considering the name of the previous versions.
Nutella is clearly the good and proper name. Nougat is not a good name because Americans can't say it in a way that isn't hilarious.
In other news, I bought my parents an iPad a few days ago. After being told there was a 10-15 minute wait at the Apple store just to tell them the exact thing I wanted to buy and then pay for it, I bought it from JB HiFi instead. When I set it up for them, I found that it was running IOS 8 despite 9 being over a year old (it didn't seem like old stock, but maybe?), the ridiculously expensive Apple SD reader I bought with it is apparently not compatible, and the even-more-ridiculously-expensive Apple "smart" case I also bought with it doesn't fit in such a way as to allow power or the non-working SD reader to be plugged in. I still don't get it, I guess.
That doesn't make any sense. Every case I have ever bought for any Apple product - whether an Apple case or not - has always allowed unrestricted access to all the ports etc. There are different models of iPad. Are you sure you bought the correct accessories for the iPad you bought?
The case is the correct model because a) it's written on it, and b) it wouldn't fit at all otherwise. There's a cutout for the lightning port, but it's just not quite in the correct spot so there's about 1-2mm of case blocking one edge of the plastic plug and not allowing it to be inserted far enough to make electrical contact. It's easy enough to fix with a knife in 30 seconds, but a $130 case that isn't "smart" in any actual relevant way shouldn't need to be fixed with a knife. The SD reader has no indication of compatibility on it other than the lightning requirement, so if it's wrong, I don't feel like I'm to blame! It's possible that it was just an IOS 8 issue, so I'll check it again after the update to 9 is done. The guy at the store also confirmed all three things are meant to go together too, although JB employees' track record on subjects I know about is not great, so I see no reason to think it's any better on things I don't! Oh, and did I mention that autocorrect apparently applies in (OS-generated) email address prompts? I don't know who the guy I sent the iTunes T&Cs is, but I'm sorry
Fair enough. You got dudded. $130 for a case?! What the? I guess I'll stick to my cheap-arse case where everything lines up.
