 ========================
 * New driving model
-  * Internal feature space information content increased tenfold during training (to ~700 bits), this makes the model dramatically more accurate
+  * Internal feature space information content increased tenfold during training (to ~700 bits), which makes the model dramatically more accurate
   * Less reliance on previous frames makes model more reactive and snappy
   * Trained in new reprojective simulator
-  * Model trained in openpilot was trained in 36hrs from scratch, compared to around 1 week of previous releases
-  * Model training now simulates lateral and longitudinal behavior, this allows openpilot to slow down for turns, stop at traffic lights, etc,... in experimental mode
+  * Trained in 36hrs from scratch, compared to one week for previous releases
