From my experience with their Plus plan GPT 4 usually just times out no matter what the prompt, forcing me to revert to 3.5. I'm not sure why I haven't asked for a refund yet.

Before covid I would commute daily in London to work filtering (lane splitting) through traffic. You operate on the assumption that they don't see / hear you and you need to anticipate their movements, and be much more switched on

This looks great. On a side note, I was wondering why the controls were freaking out when I was trying to depart, and then realised I had my foot on my rudder pedals I use for flight sim (not useful for trains despite my best efforts). I wa
