Another fan coming from Aptera Owners Club. Personally, I found the volume to be quite comfortable, I like the fireside-chat atmosphere. Being an SF resident, somehow I missed this news item.

Thanks for your take on the Aptera lawsuit and I liked your video here.

Another AOC subscriber here, also in software. Thanks for the great information you gave us on Steve’s channel. This video was fun, i’m looking forward to exploring more of your content.

I found you from Aptera Club. Thanks for the insight.

You are going to see a lot of us Aptera fans visiting your page, because your discussion on Steve's AOC channel was so well done. Kudos. I happen to also be in the SF Bay area, and years in the tech industry. So it was amusing to have seen the Waymo video and news stories go viral. Having worked on video analytics software, ADAS, and tech troubleshooting, it makes sense that Waymo rearranged their parking lot. Because with bad press, you want to take as many "easy" steps to remedy the problem, on top of reworking code. Plus features like close proximity honking are still going to be valuable outside of this parking lot. I don't know about the communications between different Waymo vehicles, but if they communicated and "recognized" one another, it seems like it would be a relatively easy bug-fix to simply make them honk-free when nearby other Waymo vehicles. I bet that Cruise (who also had SF driverless cars) wished that their problems were so simple to mitigate. Thanks Heather, and Subscribed.

Thanks! Waymo seems to be winning hearts and minds slowly, and it was good that they responded to the issue--however they actually did it. The main thing, I think, was being responsive.

Hi Heather. Just another guy from the Aptera fan club. Steve is great and I hope you two will do a follow-up or two as this lawsuit progresses. Your expert opinions on the law really help cut through the loads of speculative bulls**t showing up on the Interweb. One suggestion though. You should get out more. You look like you could use some sun.

I came here from Aptera Owners Club. Great video! The audio level is really low and the video is difficult to hear.

[@heathermeeker5298]

Thanks for the feedback about the audio! I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway. ;)

[@heathermeeker5298]

Also, welcome Aptera Owners' Club!

Reportedly, the honking continued a few weeks after the fix... It seems they only geo fenced the honking so it couldn't happen inside their lot but left it on the road coming into the lot. So once they inevitably stacked up on the road they still honked. 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIvRXoR8aaZolZY

Suggestion for your KZbin channel. Get rid of the cartoon, people need to make a connection with the real person. Also, came over from watching the Aptera Owner Club channel. Thanks for your expertise and insight into what many of us are very passionate about. (/Aptera = Freedom ).

Thanks. You may like some of my open source videos in that case!
