On the pool deck thumping music blared. Women in tiny bikinis and men dancing topless were everywhere. Perfect bodies were not required, just a playful attitude was. Some wiggled into the Jacuzzi tubs, others enjoyed more private conversations or lounging on chairs in the shade.

Bash is the vibrant heartbeat of Temptation cruises. This night club is known as the sexiest venue on any cruise ship. Show up in your sexiest outfit for the nightly theme. This might include skimpy lingerie as small as you dare or sexy pajamas for the guys. You can also dress up in costumes for the Crazy Circus Party. It’s a fascinatingly crazy atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else!

For your daytime fun, the cruise will offer a Luau Party – don’t forget your Hot Hawaiian Lei or Gaudy Shirts and Pink Flamingo.

Theme Dinners

Temptation’s theme dinners are designed to stimulate all of your senses. There are many to choose from, including “SHE,” a couples-only restaurant. This erotic meal will ignite irresistible sensations of pleasure and passion for your partner.

The Temptation brand also offers trendy shows and performances to complement the nightlife offerings on this ship. These mind-blowing experiences will push the boundaries to fulfill your elevated expectations for an adult-only cruise.

This adults-only cruise line’s new ship, which will sail in February 2020, promises everything from themed parties to a Fifty Shades of Grey-inspired Red Room.

These Are the Most Popular Spots Where the Gays Love to Go Cruising

Here's where the gays love to cruise....

Shutterstock

Cruising has been part of gay culture since the beginning of gay time. For much of our history, cruising – the act of going to a “cruising ground” to walk or drive around and search for a casual sex partner – has been a way to meet other gay men and have sex with them with discretion and anonymity.

Still, even with queerness being more socially accepted and legal in years past, cruising exists as a proud tradition and still-necessary activity. Even for people who don’t need the protection of anonymity and inside knowledge of gay culture, cruising can be an important part of learning about your sexuality, exploring, kink, and relationships.

While cruising is not as big a part of queer culture as it perhaps used to be, there are still many in the queer community who take part, and as part of their year-end DownLoad 2023 round-up , the popular cruising app Sniffies has collected information on where guys still like to cruise.

Here are the top five locations where the gays love to go cruise!

5. Universities

College is a place for exploring and experimenting, and cruising is one of the best ways to do both of those things!

The gym is already home to men sweating, grunting, showering, changing in front of each other, and deep male bonding, so it's the perfect place to add a little casual, anonymous sex.

3. Residential buildings

If the outdoors and public spaces are a little too... public for you, residential towers might be your ideal cruising spot! It still offers the anonymity and casual hookup nature of cruising, but with a little more control and safety.

2. Public restrooms

Public restroom sex is dirty, nasty, dangerous, and sexy as hell. Public restrooms have always been a classic cruising spot, and we don't see that going away any time soon.

1. The park

The ultimate cruising spot. Most major cities have at least one park that is well known, at least in the gay community, for cruising. There's lots of space to wander around, lots of poeple who come to the park to just walk around, plenty of secluded spots, and the beauty of nature.

Aurora urges autonomous vehicle industry to adopt better safety metrics

  • Share on Facebook
  • Share on LinkedIn

Join us in returning to NYC on June 5th to collaborate with executive leaders in exploring comprehensive methods for auditing AI models regarding bias, performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Find out how you can attend here .

Amazon-backed autonomous vehicle company Aurora is in search of better metrics by which to compare driverless system safety. In a Medium post this morning, CEO Chris Urmson noted that the commonly used disengagement number, which indicates how often a vehicle switched from autonomous to manual mode, doesn’t adequately capture improvements or their impact over time.

“Historically, the industry and media have turned to tallying on-road miles and calculating disengagement rates as measurements of progress,” he wrote. “If we drive 100 million miles in a flat, dry area where there are no other vehicles or people, and few intersections, is our ‘disengagement rate’ really comparable to driving 100 miles in a busy and complex city like Pittsburgh.”

That’s not to suggest disengagements don’t have their place, Urmson, a former Waymo engineer, pointed out. Aurora records two types internally: reactionary disengagements, where a vehicle operator disengages the system because they believe an unsafe situation might occur, and policy disengagements, where an operator proactively disengages ahead of an on-road situation the system hasn’t been taught to handle.

But Urmson claims that technical or engineering velocity is a superior measure of progress because it captures advancements made on core technology. To this end, Aurora taps a custom pipeline to label, evaluate, and make tests from scenarios its lidar sensor-, radar-, and camera-equipped Lincoln MKZs (which might in the next year be swapped out for Chrysler Pacific minivans) encounter on public roads. Once new versions of the software pass those tests, it’s assumed they’re performing better than their predecessors.

The AI Impact Tour: The AI Audit

Join us as we return to NYC on June 5th to engage with top executive leaders, delving into strategies for auditing AI models to ensure fairness, optimal performance, and ethical compliance across diverse organizations. Secure your attendance for this exclusive invite-only event.

“One persistent misconception in the self-driving space is that the team with the most on-road development miles will ‘win,'” Urmson wrote. “We disagree. Our goal has always been to scale our data pipelines so that we collect useful data. Quality is more important than quantity in on-road testing, and we try to make every mile count.”

Urmson proposes that the industry double down on simulation testing and “squeez[ing] more ‘value’ out of … on-road miles.” He notes that Aurora has prioritized investment in its Virtual Testing Suite — which allows it to run millions of off-road tests a day — and that its engineers continue to feed driving decisions into the company’s motion planning models, allowing it to learn from experience. Like GM-owned Cruise Automation’s The Matrix and Waymo’s Carcraft, the Virtual Testing Suite enables Aurora to model tests involving pedestrians, lane merging, and parked cars. Urmson estimates that a single virtual mile can be just as insightful as 1,000 miles collected on the open road.

“These priorities — advancing our core technology, securing a path to profitability, integrating [our system] into trucks, and continuing to develop a safety case — will get us closer to reaching our ultimate goal: developing self-driving technology that can safely move people and goods without the need of a human driver,” wrote Urmson.

Auora says that after a year of focusing on capabilities including merging, nudging, and unprotected left-hand turns, its autonomous system — the Aurora Driver, which has been integrated into six different types of vehicles to date, including sedans, SUVs, minivans, commercial vans, and Class 8 freight trucks  — can perform each seamlessly “even in dense urban environments.” In 2020, as it expands its vehicle fleets for data collection, testing, and validation, it plans to improve how the Driver predicts and accounts for “non-compliant actors,” or people who aren’t following the rules of the road, like jaywalkers and drivers who aggressively cut into the lane.

Urmson believes that over the next five years, commercial fleets of autonomous vehicles will begin piloting people and goods. Broad adoption might follow after.

The blog post comes a week after Kyle Vogt, cofounder and CTO of Cruise , posited it might be time for a new metric for reporting safety of self-driving cars. “Keep in mind that driving on a well-marked highway or wide, suburban roads is not the same as driving in a chaotic urban environment,” Vogt wrote . “The difference in skill required is just like skiing on green slopes vs. double black diamonds.”

Vogt and Urmson aren’t the only ones who have voiced their disapproval of disengagement-based safety measures. In a conversation with VentureBeat at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Dmitry Polishchuk, the head of Russian tech giant Yandex’s autonomous car project, noted that Yandex hasn’t released a disengagement report to date for that reason. “We have kind of been waiting for some sort of industry standard,” he said. “Self-driving companies aren’t following the exact same protocols for things. [For example, there might be a] disengagement because there’s something blocking the right lane or a car in the right lane, and [the safety driver realizes] as a human that [this object or car] isn’t going to move.”

Unfortunately for companies like Yandex, Cruise, and Aurora, less regulatory guidance — not more — seems the likelier near-future path, at least in the U.S. At CES on January 8, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao announced Automated Vehicles 4.0 (AV 4.0), new guidelines regarding self-driving cars that seek to promote “voluntary consensus standards” among autonomous vehicle developers. It requests but doesn’t mandate regular assessments on self-driving vehicle safety, and it permits those assessments to be completed by automakers themselves as opposed to by a standards body.

Advocacy groups including the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety almost immediately criticized the policy for its vagueness. “Without strong leadership and regulations … [autonomous vehicle] manufacturers can and will continue to introduce extremely complex supercomputers-on-wheels onto public roads … with meager government oversight,” Advocates president Cathy Chase said in a statement. “Voluntary guidelines are completely unenforceable, will not result in adequate performance standards, and fall well short of the safeguards that are necessary to protect the public.”

In the U.S., legislation remains stalled at the federal level, unfortunately. More than a year ago, the House unanimously passed the SELF DRIVE Act, which would create a regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles. But it has yet to be taken up by the Senate, which in 2018 tabled a separate bill, the AV START Act, that made its way through committee in November 2017.
