And I'd prefer we not beta test teenage drivers on roads with people on or around them.  Or beta test drivers over 75.  Or beta test drivers with over 0.05 BAC.  Or beta test driving while texting.

There are much more significant and common risk factors on our roads than drivers using FSD.

...right now.

Those drivers using FSD trust a system that relies on cameras, pushed by a guy who tweets some of the dumbest and most juvenile shit imaginable.

this should just become your profile pic at this point.

i get the point you are trying to make, but if you don't think its a problem to beta test self driving software, which only is using cameras + AI, on the roads in general - i think we are going to have to continue to agree to disagree

this isn't a "it's bad for drunk people to drive" discussion, it's a "beta testing full self driving on the roads is bad" discussion.

Has anyone put a Texas DPS official in the passenger seat with one of these self-driving cars and, with no assist from the owner, tested the car to see if it could pass? Also, does the self-driving software enable the vehicle's cameras to look right before turning right because I've almost been killed (pedestrian/runner) numerous times had I not noticed the driver wasn't looking my way. That's all I got.

Based on my experience, FSD 12.3 would pass a standard driving test.  I'd love to see someone do a Youtube video of that.

Due to the camera placement, the vehicle has better visibility around corners than a human in the driver seat does.  Not to mention that FSD is almost to a fault overly cautious of pedestrians.  If a Tesla almost ran you over, it wasn't in FSD mode.

Because other things may be unsafe, *my* thing is not unsafe?

Am I following the logic here?

No... the logic is that all of those things I listed are much more common concerns on the road than another driver using FSD.  There are only 400,000 cars in all of North America that have FSD.  Your likelihood of being on the road with a Tesla driver using FSD is pretty damn low.

It's analogous to being overly concerned about sharks at the beach while not caring much about rip currents.

To be clear, I don't usually note the make and model when having these experiences while out and about; it was a general comment.

I prefer to worry about rip currents, sharks, and (lately) especially orcas.

I'd love to see TSLA stand up to the SAE testing to validate their claims, but theyve found a market to get people to pay ten thousand dollars to be a guinea pig so they're prolly gonna keep charging the useful idiots

Does it count as a war crime to provide material support to Russia's war efforts? Or is it just a regular crime?

General Motors would say it is not a crime.

I’m in Austin, so it’s pretty damn high.  

Probably equal to my chances of encountering somebody in a Subaru blaring Tracy Chapman, the Foo Fighters, or Bob Marley.

Assortative mating = Eugenics

Who's got that on their bingo card?

His assertion that there's been a massive rise in exceptionally smart people recently seems to fly in the face of the even larger amount of data present in the form of social media.

Yet he thinks we'll all be Big Head Bighetti in the future.

The top post when you click on the "Francis Scott Key" trending topic on X 

Actual Biden quote she posted if you click on the link: "At about 1:30 a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key bridge, which I've been over many, many times, commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car".

Of course and most who view that clip will not go and watch the entire five(!) minute talk to understand the context of that because...reasons.

I don't know anything about any of this, but curious why a vision only driving model is insufficient.  Isn't that what humans have?

I'm all for doing BETTER than humans, but if we can do just as good, then that is a solid start.

I should also add in that the bots and porn bots are way worse since then as well too.

 

I don't mind the porn bots :) .... my wall is inundated with right wing politics. My "following" tab leaves out tweets from people I follow and fills with with right wing bullshit, doesn't matter how many time I select not interested I still get them. The "for you" tab has even more maga bullshit and now, when you click on tweet to see comments... its nothing but blue check mark accounts less then a year old spamming some crap. Elon has ruined twitter

 

The cyber truck is the ugliest vehicle ever to hit the road, it looks like something out a cheap cheesy 80s sci fi movie

It's almost like that specific person has a history of materially misrepresenting public figures, or something. There's a reason why the deacon loves her so much

Because motorcycle riders are aholes.  I'm on Tesla's side here.

Odds that the very same political leaders who are up in arms about porn dirtying up the minds of our precious youth will take action against X similar to their suits against Pornhub and such?  What's that?  Chances are 0.0%, because no way will they go after Elon?  Gosh, you're a cynical bunch.

Tesla’s build quality problems are well known; from panel gaps to crummy interiors to glass roofs that just fly off for no reason, it’s safe to say customers should be on the lookout when they purchase a brand-new Tesla. The Cybertruck has been just as bad as previous models, despite its over $100,000 price tag. Customers looking to protect themselves against the company they’re giving 100 grand to can now use aftermarket checklists to ensure all the problems with their brand new truck are recorded. 

 

 

Quote

We first spotted the forms on Bluesky by a post from automotive writer and critic E.W. Niedermeyer. An Etsy seller by the name of EverydayChrisTesla is selling a 10-page Tesla Cybertruck delivery checklist for $4.99. That price gets you a “comprehensive” .pdf document to help Cybertruck owners double check their own vehicles. It’s even got Tesla-style font and branding! From the Etsy description:

 

Quote

TESLA Cybertruck Delivery CHECKLIST!

Got your new Tesla Cybertruck? Take the stress out of figuring out what to look for that needs to be fixed! This is a thorough checklist that keeps you organized and prevents you from forgetting the small things before it’s TOO LATE to fix!

 

Spoiler

1471f8248b08f63c90862b74b325ffc8.jpg

 

This entrepreneur provides checklists for every other Tesla model for owners to check for manufacturing errors specific to that model. For instance, the Cybertruck checklist says to check for imperfections and defects in the stainless steel body and to inspect the weather seals and LED lighting in the cargo bed. The checklist for the Model 3 — as well as the new Highland refresh — has things to check for like windows and making sure the hood and other body panels are flush. 

This is pretty sad, when you think about it. If Tesla completed similar checklists before delivery, customers wouldn’t need to inspect every inch of their immensely expensive purchase. In fact, the seller makes sure to mention that the checklists are “UNOFFICIAL” and, “created by a Tesla owner, but is not affiliated nor endorsed by Tesla, Inc.”

Instead of being up in arms about quality issues on one of the most expensive purchases most people will ever make, Tesla customers are selling ways to double check quality problems to other owners. It’s safe to say, no other automaker could ever get away with something like this.

That's just necessary because Tesla is so EXTREME and HARDCORE and NOT WOKE.  Only WOKE cars are manufactured up to exacting standards of quality.  You don't want a WOKE car, do you?  That's WOKE MIND VIRUS thinking!

The opposite of WOKE is ASLEEP. So you’re saying that Tesla is sleeping on the job?
