The American Automobile Assn. (AAA) took a look at the performance of automatic lane keeping systems. They found that in simulated moderate to heavy rain, cars that employed ALKS veered from their lanes 69% of the time. Even worse, in testing at moderate speed (56 kph/~40 mph), about a third of the cars struck a static vehicle target (note, these targets look like a car, but are lightweight, fly apart on impact, and are quickly re-assembled).Trade magazine article here:

hubie writes:NASA has announced that the last stage of mirror alignments for the JWST are complete. Phased and focused images are being delivered to all of the science instruments. With the optics taken care of, the last operation before it is ready is to commission the science instruments. The instruments will be run through their paces and calibrations to make sure they are operating as expected. This last stage is expected to take up to two months.

A filesystem in userspace (FUSE) driver, NTFS-3G, came along, but since it operates in userspace, it isn't considered particularly fast.
