The fallout from Mark Rober and his controversial video comparing the Tesla autopilot system to LiDAR technology continues to intensify.

A recent YouTube video from former NASA engineer and popular content creator Mark Rober has left many viewers questioning not only his methods, but also the true intent behind his latest experiment targeting Tesla’s autopilot technology. What started as an attempt to map Disneyland’s Space Mountain by sneaking a LiDAR camera into the park through security turned into something far more controversial, with critics calling out inconsistencies and misleading presentation in Rober’s subsequent Tesla tests.
I’ve spent the last hour or so listening to some wonderful music from the past—not the Mozart kind of past, but the EPCOT past, and it made me think more than just warm, nostalgic, and happy thoughts of good times back in those yester-decades called the 1980’s which, I know, many of you were not blessed to be around in.
The latest Disneyland After Dark event, 90s Nite, was supposed to be a nostalgic celebration of one of the most beloved decades in pop culture.

There’s a great hullaballoo going on about the Disney news that park admission prices may implement a “new” “Surge Pricing” formula designed to follow crowd patterns, making the cost of tickets go UP when demand is high (and, the implication—ONLY an implication with ZERO actual statement of this) and, go DOWN when demand is slack.

The Walt Disney Company hosted Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of President George W. Bush, at Epcot recently. It's yet another sign that Wall Street is pushing the Iger Corporation hard to make nice with the right side of the aisle. Since President Trump assumed the...
In the wake of mounting criticism over skyrocketing ticket prices, recent rumors state that Walt Disney World and Disneyland are considering a controversial shift in how they price theme park tickets—by adopting an airline-style, highly-variable ticket pricing model.

In a startling new low for Disney, the company put out a poll asking guests to predict when their loved ones might die.
According to a bombshell report from The Wall Street Journal, Disney sent a 47-page survey to Disney Vacation Club members this fall, loaded with invasive questions about their finances.
