I’ve been in a lot of debates on the “autopilot” name. Personally I think it’s a perfect name, since my understanding of “autopilot” is a system that assists the pilot to the point he can take hands off the controls for a period of time, but the pilot must be ready to take over in certain situations (which is exactly…

On the other hand, how many accidents has Tesla’s autopilot avoided? Perhaps the overall accident rate is less due to autopilot. You just hear about the accidents, which is not the full data set that needs to be considered. Also with accidents due to autopilot did the driver have their hand on the wheel at all times…

Until mid this year, Volvo’s Pilot Assist system had a max speed of only 30mph, so low that it is practically useless (and won’t be possible to use on the highway anyways).

Ultimately there is no preventing stupidity. Someone will find a way to wreck (at fault) with this system in use. Its too bad Tesla gets the wrap for that. But their updates shouldn’t be reactive but proactive. Then again, what do I know about electric semi-autonomous vehicles?

The system should also now be able to take highway off ramps, and it should better detect when someone wants to change into your lane thanks to an increased ability to see another car’s directional signal.

I think that my career in technology journalism speaks for itself, sir.

It was a fucking joke. Jesus Christ. Do people like you really exist?

Those things were pushed out by clearly better technology. Bluetooth hasn’t proven itself to be better to me. Sure, based on specs it may be better but for convenience and every day use 3.5mm earphones are still better.

Yes, I too remember the mass market electric cars that existed before the Model S, and their world-wide dedicated charging infrastructure. Though I cannot recall the name of the company that built them, surely you can help me?

Really? When was the other time you saw someone flip a fucking rocket over in space and land it on a barge to be reused?

Elon Musk is actually my favorite billionaire- the projects and industries he is in are very forward thinking- he wants to get us off fossil fuels, he seeks to push space exploration.... He could’ve retired and just become an angel investor after PayPal, but he decided to throw all of his fortune into trying to…

Normally I hate this complaint, but holyshit with the Tesla articles today.
