The lackeys in the front seat praising every drunken maneuver that doesn’t run over someone’s grandmother on the second floor of a nursing home are drinking the Kool-Aid now, until the car actually kills someone and Tesla throws them under the bus. That’s exactly what happened with Uber in Tempe. When one of these…

See, the liability is the sticky part. To my knowledge, if you crash because of Autopilot/FSD when it’s active, it’s your fault because you weren’t being attentive. If you take over when Autopilot/FSD warns you to, as it was intended (say you didn’t have enough time to take over and perform evasive maneuvers), it’s…

More like an unknowing/unwilling victim. The amount of close calls in that video is freaking terrifying and NHTSA continues to allow the use of this stupid Full Self Driving (beta) label. I expect at some point insurance liability may catch up with all this reckless beta testing.

This is your Captain speaking. Please brace for Tesla stan turbulence. Please remain in your seats until the Tesla stan light is turned off. 

“More data to fail” is a good thing (it should be written “more data that could fail because then no single data failure constitutes a catastrophic data failure”)

I agree with you, but think about the people who regularly sleep through their alarms and hit snooze multiple times without ever actually waking up. The cars would need a very effective way of assuring the driver can re-take control. I’m thinking some sort of hand that reaches out and smacks the crap out of them a few…

The techno-priest is being attacked, to the comments section Tesla nerds! Let them sully not the robo-altar!

I still think that some sort of inter-car communication is going to be key to get past sketchy-L2 driving.

These two are a living representation of this:

“Do you have an institutional review board for ethical issues?”

Everyone else on the road is also a non-consenting participant in this “beta”.

Musk’s tweet does not say FSD Capability, it just says FSD Beta. ‘Full Self Driving’ is misleading name and you know it. “Full Self Driving” I’d expect at least level 4.  This isn’t even level 3 yet.

Unfortunately, that ‘Beta’ bit is often dropped

lol

I’d argue that one of them was was turning this:

That’s funny. NKLA or Nikola had a market cap of $80B this summer with NO product. That’s more than Ford.

The craziest part to me is that the rules applied to digital speedos. The numbers would start climbing, hit 85 and stop counting while you know you’re going faster.

That’s almost exactly what I did - drove one as a rental in Hawaii. It was, as others have mentioned, just meh. I wouldn’t buy one personally, but for the sort of people that like the old sebring convertibles it’s the same idea. Comfy, suprisingly quiet cruiser that even had a power top that could be operated on the…

I’m definitely OK with it being heavily facelifted vs being clean sheet. The Z isn’t broken, just a little outdated. This design (primarily the interior) brings it into the 2020s without throwing away nearly two decades of chassis refinements. I wonder if they’ll have a detuned version like the Q60. In that car you…
