  • (Lol, thanks for the downvote. Let me get you a full refund.)

    First two sentences clear that up, don't you think? Here, I'll add the TL:DR to the article description above.

  • That's the rub, this legislation punches Tesla right in the nuts.

  • 7% of our exports are currently vehicles (about $145b annually), that will dwindle to nearly nothing as ICE vehicles become a legacy side-show to EVs and PHEVs :,|

    That's to say nothing of serving our own market, and the pride of having Americans at work building brilliant and cutting edge things.

    GUH, I GOTTA STOP READING THE NEWS.

  • It is honestly hard to see what the strategy is. It's tough when you squint at the administration and wonder how an adversary-backed Manchurian Candidate type might do things differently, and you come up mostly dry.

  • Imagine if people treated airbags that way XD

    If Ford airbags just plain worked, and then Tesla airbags worked 999 times out of 1,000, would the correct answer be to say "well thems the breaks, there is no room for improvement, because dangerously flawed airbags are way safer than no airbags at all."

    Like, no. No, no, no. Cars get recalled for flaws that are SO MUCH less dangerous.

  • Yea, this subthread it morally ass.

    I don't think it's morally wrong to be a sucker. If you fall for the lie, you think you're actually doing a good thing by using FSD and making the road both safer today and potentially radically safer into the future.

    Problem is, it's a lie. Regulators exist to sort that shit out for you, car accidents are rare enough that the risk is hard to evaluate as a lone-gun human out here. The regulators biffed this one about as hard as an obvious danger can be biffed.

  • ...is literally never going to get any better it's always going to be this bad.

    Hey now! That's unfair. It is constantly changing. Software updates introduce new reversions all the time. So it will be this bad, or significantly worse, and you won't know which until it tries to kill you in new and unexpected ways :j

  • Someone who doesn't understand math downvoted you. This is the right framework to understand autonomy, the failure rate needs to be astonishingly low for the product to have any non-negative value. So far, Tesla has not demonstrated non-negative value in a credible way.

  • GPS data predicted the road would go straight as far as the horizon. Camera said the tree or shadow was an unexpected 90 degree bend in the road. So the only rational move was to turn 90 degrees, obviously! No notes, no whammies, flawless

  • Probably Zoox, but conceptually similar, LiDAR backed.

    You can immobilize them by setting anything large on them. Your purse, a traffic cone, a person :)

    Probably makes sense to be a little cautious with the gas pedal when there is an anything on top the vehicle.
