Actually Slashdot supports Unicode (UTF-8) too, that means things like the € [Euro Currency Symbol].

The "slashdot still does not support Unicode" phrase is just a meme by those people who can't keep the drool in their mouth, and then wonder that it causes shorts when it drip on their keyboard.

To be fair, the quotation marks thing is because of Slashdot's bizarre inability to support Unicode

What do quotation marks have to do with Unicode? Quotation marks are ASCII (code 0x22), and so do not need Unicode at all. And actually, Slashdot renders "quotation marks" all right. So it does indeed look as if the AC screwed up somewhere (or attempted some silly joke).

Glyph recognition can find a basic face shape easily

Indeed, even on their low-res image you can spot where the face is...

this reduces the computation involved significantly as it can focus the attention on to just the face part of the image feed.

hmm, but given that poor image, I doubt they'd manage recognizing who it is in the picture.

The Tesla thought it was a big white cloudy sky, quite a bit farther away...

Unfortunately, it was moving quite fast, and the truck driver was mildly surprised at hearing a Harry Potter soundtrack before seeing a Tesla convertible driven by a headless man rush off...
