I'm not saying there isn't progress. I'm saying progress is slow relative to the work that needs to be done. I've also worked at enough robotics companies to be skeptical of anything they publish because there is a…

Is there somewhere the general consensus is generally right?
It's more the fact that you're willfully ignorant which makes you annoying. Numerous people have already explained to you why you're wrong and you just keep repeating yourself. You're a hypocrite and you don't even…
Your analysis assumes collateral damage is irrelevant.
I don't believe you, but you can always prove me wrong and share your proof.
You're a caricature of my original point and you don't even realize it.

Thank you for the reply - I'll give them a shot.
Why solve a problem for real when pretending to solve it is so much more profitable?

I only spent a few minutes on Google so you'd have to do your own research since I am not familiar with the Tiguan although I know the MQB platform it's built on. Anyway for the Tiguan you might have to actually order a…
