  • In general the technology is fine, it's all about implementation, and the way Tesla is implementing it is irresponsible and should be illegal.

  • don’t let Musk being a terrible person blind you

    This was about a robotaxi, this is Tesla specifically.There are no other vendors that are equally irresponsible.I'm not arguing whether Tesla is ahead or behind, I'm only arguing that Tesla is acting with a level of irresponsibility that should have had them fined and controlled on these issues long ago.

    I have no doubt that eventually the technology will be good enough, but it's 10 years ago that Musk claimed FSD would be ready next year, and be safer than human drivers, and be able to pick you up and drive you across country, completely without human intervention.

    Musk is a liar, I never made that claim about the other companies working on it. But the "good people" at Tesla are still acting irresponsibly, and putting people's lives in danger for profit.

  • A human can drive decades without accidents. I've done that myself. Day and night, rain, snow and fog.Most autonomous systems are not allowed to be used in any of those conditions!So there's a long way for FSD to match a competent driver.

    “sometimes a mistake happens that results in death” is also a problem with human driving

    The shit show Tesla is doing is nowhere near an average human driver, and the FSD has been shown to be lethal multiple times even under good circumstances that shouldn't pose any problems. All Tesla has is as good as a human driver 90% of the time. Then it fucks up. Tesla FSD would for sure not be able to get a drivers license here in Denmark.IDK the rules in USA. But if a reasonable drivers test is included, I think Tesla FSD would be very likely to fail it.

    So Tesla is definitely not anywhere near "better than a human". Not even under optimal conditions like daylight and no bad weather.

  • Too many times I've thought the madness was over, and Americans had learned something. But apparently the American voters never learn.That Bush was reelected was crazy, and even his mental 2nd term didn't teach Americans anything, so they later elected Trump, and even that wasn't bad enough for some sense to seep in among half the American voters, so they freaking elected him for a 2nd term, despite warnings it would 100% for sure be even worse than the first time.I don't trust the American voters have learned anything even now. Ivanka inheriting the White House should be a bad joke. But it's not really. It is a potential future USA faces.

    Trump already tried once to take control of the White House with violence, and it seems a near certainty he will try again unless he dies first. And on 2nd try he will have the advantage of experience, while the checks and balances that already haven't worked, are even further undermined.

  • Exactly it's way harder to stay vigilant when nothing happens for hours. When that becomes days and weeks, it becomes near impossible.I have a relatively "stupid" car by today's standards. It can only keep lanes, and adjust speed according to traffic and speed limits. Nothing more than a fancy cruise control really.And even that makes mistakes, but it's simple enough that it doesn't create "situations" because you still have to actually drive yourself.

    It's kind of funny when approaching a round about, it slows down automatically, and I enter the round about at a comfortable speed, but then suddenly half way through, it accelerates back to highway speed if you don't prevent it. This is extremely weird IMO, since you are still in the middle of turning to follow the round about?!It took me a bit by surprise the first time that it suddenly accelerated in a situation where it absolutely shouldn't. But not much. because I was absolutely paying attention, as it can't navigate by itself.

  • Just the fact that it crosses that double wide white line, that means under no circumstance do not cross this line! Only to end behind a perfectly visible veritable wall of bollards! All this in high daylight too!The strongest danger of Tesla FSD I think, is that in most situations it drives very confidently, and very well. So people begin to trust it.But then suddenly it does something insanely stupid like this, or cross a red light without hesitation, or completely ignore a stop sign.This is when you die. Not the 90% of the time it drives fine.

  • Wow that's pretty cool, I thought M68k series ended with 68060!I still have an old Amiga 500 that my wife bought for me many years ago, because I never shut up about how superior Amiga was back in the day, and how amazing it was to program M68k assembly direct to hardware on it.

    The highest power Amiga I ever had was a 68030 expansion card to an Amiga 2000. Then I stupidly switched to PC, because that was the future. But the PC killed my interest in programming, because it's only semi open, not open like the Amiga was.

  • Which supporting freedom democracy did we support?

    You just wrote in past tense, giving me the freedom to use the most obvious example that you are wrong.

    Believing the USA was ever a “freedom democracy” supporter is pure delusion.

    Here you even use EVER, further legitimizing my point.You are moving the goal post, and absolutely USA has been helping democracies like for instance South Korea and Taiwan a lot, even Japan could be included in that list. And the formation of NATO to protect democracies against Soviet Union and now Russia is also an example.Trump is not a NATO supporter, he is on the contrary trying to destroy it. And NATO is absolutely created with the main objective to defend democracies on both sides of the Atlantic.

  • In their special area they generally do, outside that they are probably like most people with an IQ above 100.

  • You are very very wrong.When they liberated Europe and the world in WW2 from the axis powers together with England, Canada and many other allies, there is no doubt USA supported freedom and democracy. And even granted the conquered countries their freedom.

  • There used to be a synergy between supporting freedom democracy and having the economy thrive on it.USA is now disregarding and throwing overboard everything that made USA the world leader with the most allies of any country ever.

  • Oh, and these Americans who it is not, are relevant to this how?you only have 1 government, and that's the 1 Americans elected, and ALL Americans are part of USA and American civilization.Meaning that even if they disagree with the government, they are part of the economy, workforce and society the government control.

    I sympathize with every American that voted against Trump, and tried to prevent this, and those that have demonstrated against him. But unfortunately it doesn't change what USA currently is to the rest of the world, and how we need to relate to USA as a country.

  • Well done USA. this is why democracies around the world don't trust you anymore.I wonder who Americans will elect next? Maybe J. D. Vance or Pete Hegseth? Unless of course they can find someone even more crazy. 😬

    It's absolutely insane that USA isn't even moderately on the side of democracy anymore. But instead favor enemies of democracy, and have themselves become an enemy to democracy too.

  • Piracy literally isn't stealing, the idea that it is is 100% propaganda.Piracy is copying things that are copyrighted. And is a copyright infringement. It is not theft or stealing.With stealing the original owner loses what he had when the thief steals it.With copying the owner obviously still has ownership and possession of what was copied.

    Unchecked capitalism on the other hand is very much stealing, where the rich take from the poor. So the rich have more and the poor have less.

    Which is why capitalism needs to be heavily regulated, exactly contrary to widely spread propaganda in USA about deregulation being better for all, when in reality it only benefit the rich.

  • Stop whining, in 1985 I paid $400 for 256 kilobyte RAM for my Amiga 1000, AND I WAS HAPPY!You kids nowadays are spoiled, with 100,000 times more RAM if you have an average build with 16 GB RAM and 8 GB VRAM.But the Amiga was still more fun than modern computers.

    Is it me? Or is it the kids that are wrong?Hmmm... 🤔 ...It must be the kids. 😋

  • Yes there was a huge scandal that the glue was wrong, so the panels fell off at high speeds. 🤣🤣🤣

  • To Trump a fraudster is just another businessman, he simply can't tell the difference, because he is so without morals that it's all the same to him. It is not that he is going against an inner voice warning him, "Hey this may be wrong", the voice simply isn't there, and it never was. The only wrong he is capable of registering, is if he feels wronged himself. If people are against him that's wrong, and he feels that very very strongly.That's the nature of being a malignant narcissist or psychopath².

    And the people who couldn't see that and voted for him, they absolutely have a problem with lack of morality and empathy too.

  • For a car supposedly made of steel, that's an awful lot of plastic.
