“But that sounds just like what everybody else has. I’m special!”

Volvo made those claims on the basis of obsessing about safety and crash testing results for decades, and real world data about injuries and fatalities in their vehicles. Elon Musk has said publicly that Tesla will achieve Level 5 autonomy by the end of 2021. Surely you can acknowledge that these are different orders…

Don’t forget that Tesla has told the state of California that the vehicle is not self driving in its quarterly safety filings. People are paying $10k to be beta testers of a system that Tesla themselves does not believe to be autonomous.

“We need to stop trying to make computers good at things that people are good at, and forcing people to do things (monitor automated systems) that computers are good at. Doing the opposite is a recipe for failure.”

And that is the real problem here. Imagine YOUR wife and kids in one of those oncoming cars.

It would still be a problem because it’s unsafe software being beta-tested on public roads.

Yeah, to a trained driver it’s extremely unsettling to watch, and it does it every single time in the video.

By my job somebody actually died because of that.

That was something I noticed as well. I was always taught the same: Keep the wheel straight so that if you are rear ended, you will not be pushed into oncoming traffic.

No, what is “terrifying” is so many Tesla sycophants acting as if their pathetic Level 2 robocar code and sensors will guide their car with the aplomb of a nonexistent Level 5 robocar. IE: putting that much faith into a robocar system which is woefully inadequate.

to all the people sucking Elon’s dick in the comments: Jalopnik reports on Tesla’s FSD failures because TESLA MARKETS THEIR VEHICLES AS SELF DRIVING. If Tesla didnt advertise their vehicles as self driving, this wouldn't be a problem.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the car is angled into traffic and the wheel is turned waiting for the opportunity to make the left turn?

Skip the rest until the end. That last turn was sketchy as fuck and the system didn’t detect the giant chevy truck towing the boat and the other dodge truck until way too late.

The mRNA vaccine technique was pioneered by the US government’s NIH back in 2013. Moderna partnered with NIH to bring this technology to market in 2017:

Correct.  See stock buy-backs. 

I have yet to see EV or anti oil advocates address impending lithium and cobalt shortages, the associated environmental effects or the infrastructure issues surrounding light rail.

Let’s gridlock government and kill it from within...and then “hey look how bad government is, do you really want it taking more of your money?!”

Hell yeah, shots fired! Amen to speaking the truth on this BS.

Not much with that low of gearing.
the torque multiplied from the engine to the wheels works in reverse.
Makes pushing through the compression a lot easier. Toss on some off-road ready grippier gum balls and its even less likely to drag over a turn. Toss on the fact that it’s for the wheels and you got a lot of force…

I don’t know why but given all that shittiness in the past 24 hours, this picture made me really happy.
