    A very measured response to the breathless reactions to one redditor's viral FSD anecdote.  (Spoiler alert... the actual vehicle data do not support the redditor's version of events.)

     

    p.s.  Hi @Felix!

    Snips from AI DRIVR's video starting around 00:45:

    In the first snip, it shows there was no input from the accelerator pedal until after the crash. At the same time we see the accelerator pedal input we also see brake pedal input but almost no pressure in the master cylinder (maybe because the brake line was ripped off already and it couldn't build pressure?)... 

     

    In the second snip at 00:48,  the autopilot kicked off maybe a second and a half before the crash, cruise control kicked off at the same time. But the car doesn't slow down until after the crash - at the same time the Autopilot and cruise control trend lines drop to fault.

     

    Then the third snip is the steering wheel tug that the guy in the video focuses on. 

     

     

    I don't know shit about FSD, what does the Driver Monitoring Detection point mean and how is it detected? Is this why some people put weights on their steering wheels? Could a steering wheel weight have caused the accident? If there was no accelerator pedal input, shouldn't the car start slowing down if autopilot and cruise control shut off?

    You would think the directional names would be helpful, but its crazy in Central Texas - 

    Western Ribbonsnake, Western Ratsnake, Western Diamond-backed Rattlesnake, Western Coachwhip

    Eastern Hog-nosed, Eastern Yellow-bellied Racer, Eastern Copperhead

    Northern Cottonmouth

    We should just remove the directional part and call it "Texas."

    Texas Ribbonsnake, Texas Ratsnake, etc

    Like the Texas Indigo snake, Texas Patch-nosed Snake, and Texas Coralsnake.

     

     

     

    Classic Texan, thinking that y'all are just the center of everything.

     I used google and the source I found said it varies but 75MW would power about 75k homes, for purposes of scale 62,500 isn’t much less. 

    Wasn't trying to call you out on the math (220, 221 - whatever it takes) I was just trying to make a bad joke about using AI.

    I just negotiated a single data center deal, 75 MW... all for AI. And this building already has an existing 75 MW and may expand an additional 75 MW. racks all water cooled. absolute drain. 75 MW should power approximately 75,000 homes. This one facility, one fucking building will suck up 225,000 homes worth of power. jesus christ.

    An adult enters into a contract borrowing money from a bank to run a business. The business fails and the bank wants its loan repaid. The bank is greedy and vindictive. I guess that's one way to look at it.

    Also, its not like journalists have a reputation, at these guys' level especially, for being wealthy. Why would anyone think that Big Dog Lending or whatever was just some evil scheme to try to scam Berry F'n Trammel out of a chunk of what fortune?

    It's true.  The ONLY financial requirement is that the car/owner carry the liability insurance minimums required by the state.  That's it.

    That's it.  Can each car be "owned" by a single-asset entity?  You bet your ass.  Does that entity need to have a human being who has legal, even criminal, responsibility?  Nope.  Does that entity need to have a penny to its name other than 1) the car, and 2) the minimum insurance policy?  Also nope.

    Each car is a judgment proof death machine carrying jack shit in insurance: "Texas law requires you to have at least $30,000 of coverage for injuries per person, up to a total of $60,000 per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for property damage. This is called 30/60/25 coverage."

    An Elon Death Taxi can kill you dead, and your family gets $30k.  So sorry!

     

    (5)  covered by motor vehicle liability coverage or self-insurance in an amount equal to the amount of coverage that is required under the laws of this state.

     

     

    I expect Elon to go the self-insured route.

    I always thought their dance battles deserved a thread, i was disappointed to see it's about a brewing war . Hopefully they can settle their differences without violence

  8. Our local police sits out and tornado spots during warnings and then calls it in over the radio if they think they see one for the dispatcher to hit the siren button. I used to listen to a police scanner app on my phone during storms but a while ago the local EMS and law enforcement switched to digital and the app quit working...

    You aren't thinking this through. The answer will obviously be a public option for car insurance, backed by the US government. With preferred rates for made in America cars like Tesla's of course 

    What if my car was already vandalized? Would I be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions?

    Video games were ok and all when I was 14 and had fuck all else to do  in small town middle of nowhere America, but a grown ass man, (especially one with unlimited resources to do literally anything)  that can have a real life hobby, sitting around playing video games... I just don't get it. 

    I just ran out of rum :(

    Inb4 outrage at this comment, completely ignoring that the sitting president has said similar things about his opponents and judges

    This country is full of giant douches and shit sandwiches that have been frenzied up by the all the medias and at each others throats for years. We are so pissed at each other that we don't realize that there aren't any giant douches or shit sandwiches at the top.

    At the top they are all just fucksticks that give 0 fucks about the shit sandwiches and giant douches even though they label themselves as one or the other. All they care about is taking care of other fucksticks and keeping the giant douches and shit sandwiches pissed off at each other. 

     

    I'm not against the two party system and am a huge believer in the way our country is supposed to work. I just don't need one group to tell me how I feel about every topic.
