Teenage pilot makes emergency landing near two-lane highway in California

​

"I can hear my grandma crying in the back," Peters told KCBS/KCAL. "I'm like, 'I've got to tune her out, focus on what I need to do and get this plane down safely and make sure everybody is OK.'"

AirTags catch United Airlines in lie about missing luggage

I'd be surprised that something from Google Street View would just happen to have been taken during the period of time that her luggage was there.

If I were an airline (or any of a number of other businesses), I would adopt this technology in full. Just as they now put a paper tag on every piece of luggage to track it, simply put a tag (if not an AirTag, the something similar, perhaps developed for this particular use) on every piece of luggage when it is checked in and remove it just before the back is sent out to baggage pickup (so that it can be reused). If they can get the cost down enough, they might even be able to treat them as disposable and leave them on the luggage so that if it ends up in lost baggage or if someone else accidentally picks it up it can still be tracked.

I don't know what the infrastructure impact would be of using tags like this at the scale that you would have at a busy airport, but I would think that a tweak to the technology could make it manageable, such as reducing the rate at which the tag reports its location or perhaps having it preferentially connect to a dedicated network installed at the airport and only use the normal method if it hasn't been able to do so after some maximum time has expired.

I would think that an airline that put this in place would be in a position to cash in on a major public relations coup.

Omg how did you get a photo of this?

I just walked around the building and pulled out my phone.

It sounds like some shady third-party delivery service had her bag. Once the heat was on, it was delivered instead of being lost.

I’d just like everyone to know that @united has lost track of my bag and is lying about it. My apple AirTag shows that it has been sitting in a residential apartment complex for over a day. Out back by the dumpsters, I have found other emptied United Airlines bags.

MAJOR UPDATE: for the first time since Friday my AirTag (and hopefully luggage) appears to be on the move… it’s at a McDonalds? The plot thickens… cc:

A North Precinct officer was near North Vancouver Avenue and North Lombard Street at 1:18 a.m. when they witnessed two cars speeding out of a fast-food restaurant’s parking lot. After checking the license plate on one of the cars, a Kia, they found it was reported as stolen.

The officer began following the vehicle as it drove erratically when it eventually came to a stop at the intersection of North Kerby Avenue and North Rosa Parks Way. PPB says it was at this point the driver, identified as a 10-year-old and the passenger, a 13-year-old, put their hands up.

Another USB cable hijack?

NEW DELHI: US banking giant Wells Fargo on Friday (Jan 6) sacked a top Indian executive now being pursued by police for allegedly urinating on a fellow passenger aboard an Air India flight.

Shankar Mishra, who local media reports said was the vice-president of the bank's India operations, was terminated after a 72-year-old woman wrote to Air India's management to complain about the November incident.

 

A little sarcastic humor:

I don't know about "support" but I'm sure discovering that thing must've been an emotional experience for the poor TSA agent that found it.

They should inform the owner that they found a stray snake in their luggage, but not to worry. The snake was reunited with the shipment of reptiles on its way to the boot factory.

Or maybe that reptile in particular should've been sent to the belt factory instead?

NEW YORK (AP) — Thousands of flight delays and cancellations rippled across the U.S. early Wednesday after computer outage led to a grounding order for all departing aircraft by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The FAA is working to restore what is known as the Notice to Air Missions System.

Before commencing a flight, pilots are required to consult NOTAMs, or Notices to Air Missions, which list potential adverse impacts on flights, from runway construction to the potential for icing. The system used to be telephone-based, with pilots calling dedicated flight service stations for the information, but has now moved online.

It's

Here's what really happened.
https://theintercept.com/2023/01/10/tesla-crash-footage-autopilot/

The video and new photographs of the crash, which were obtained by The Intercept via a California Public Records Act request, provides the first direct look at what happened on November 24, confirming witness accounts at the time. The driver told police that he had been using Tesla’s new “Full Self-Driving” feature, the report notes, before the Tesla’s “left signal activated” and its “brakes activated,” and it moved into the left lane, “slowing to a stop directly in [the second vehicle’s] path of travel.”

223 P-1 stated V-1 was in Full Self Driving mode at the time of the crash, I am unable to verify if V-1’s Full 24 Self-Driving Capability was active at the time of the crash. On 11/24/2022, the latest Tesla Full Self 25 Driving Beta Version was 11 and is classified as SAE International Level 2. SAE International Level2 is 26 not classified as an autonomous vehicle. Under Level 2 classification, the human in the driver seat must 27 constantly supervise support features including steering, braking, or accelerating as needed to maintain 28 safety. If the Full Self Driving Capability software malfunctioned, P-1 should of manually taken control of 29 V-1 by over-riding the Full Self Driving Capability feature.

That car seems to have brake-checked (by the driver or the car) from normal traffic speed to almost zero. A person who isn’t licensed to drive and caused crash would be severely cited, and possibly arrested but somehow FSD from Tesla gets a pass.

That's the problem with level 2..3, half-way self-driving, expecting a driver to takeover when the driving system bugs out is unrealistic and dangerous for all involved.
