CDPR - “Crunch” drama is BS...it is what it is people, this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Working six days a week towards the end of a project is pretty standard. How about working class folks that deliver your packages, that make your car parts, that fix your roads...come on. If you’ve never worked a Saturday week over week for a while...well good for you...I have, many folks have. It’s about balance, are these people being paid properly, are they being given extra time off, are they earning bonuses and profit share for their time, from all resources I’ve heard yes they are (CDPR shares 10% profits and they’re on track for 500Million possibly getting each dev up to $50K in bonus). More over the latest reports are saying that they team was polled and the majority came back saying they’d rather put in the extra time over delaying the game again.

Tampa has it’s first driverless shuttle - It uses a virtual rail system, so it rides a specific router like a trolley would. It’s 10x faster than a human drive when considering reaction times. If it needed to be manually controlled, it’s just an Xbox controller. The pilot program will last a year with the option to extend.
