Ahh yes, the driver is 100% at fault because he used a federally approved driver assist system which malfunctioned.

It really depends on the facts:

No manufacturer claims a firearm can aim itself, nor do they name a firearm that cannot aim itself a, “full self aiming firearm.”

The driver is definitely at fault - yes, because of the legal jargon slung at the driver before they’re allowed to use the system, and yes, because the driver is in charge and has to exercise the judgment and caution required to make sure they don’t go around endangering people. That part is a slam dunk, unless…

Ahh yes, the driver is 100% at fault because he used a federally approved driver assist system which malfunctioned. Makes perfect sense. This is more like the truck driver whose breaks failed due to the company he worked for not doing proper maintenance crashing into ppl and then getting charged with murder. It wasn’t…

You don’t seem to be getting this.

The ability for a car to make any decisions without the driver paying attention is much harder and more advanced than what Tesla is doing with FSD. Just because the system is allowed to do more things but needs to be constantly monitored doesn’t make it more advanced. The actual…

you just described why Teslas ARENT luxury vehicles. theyre interiors are nowhere near “lavish” enough to be considered luxury cars. especially when compared to their competitors. A model s interior is about as “lavish” as a honda accord ex. 

Yes, the big difference between level 2 and 3 is Object and Event Detection and Response without supervision. Until FSD driving can clear that hurdle it can not claim to have features above level 3. It’s more like fancy cruise control than proper autonomous driving.

I think people are just blinded by the tech. Take that away, and the Model S barely has more features than my Mazda. No massaging seats (the seats in the Model S aren’t even that comfortable, IMO, but that’s highly subjective), a spartan (minimalist, LOL) interior, subpar materials (for a luxury car. They’d be…

1st Gear: I can’t help but feel like there’s a lot of “Emperor’s New Clothes” effect with Tesla. Their quality control is objectively worse than all of their major competitors, but here they are eating up the market. Shit’s weird.

Apparently “luxury” is just related to price, because the Model 3's interior is anything but “luxurious”

First: Tesla is not a luxury brand. Convince me I’m wrong. The model S can pass for luxury, but not the 3/Y where the bulk of sales sit. Sure they offer huge amounts of technology, but that’s not “luxury”, unless we’re collectively agree to redefine luxury as high tech 

In a perfect FSD world there will be no stop lights, signs, nothing, just an incredible series of TERRIFYING yet orchestrated near misses...basically like driving in India :)

Yours is a good assessment of what could have been done to prevent a scenario like we watched. Perhaps an appropriate rule change would be any race within five laps to finish with an on course incident requiring a safety car be immediately red flagged for a restart. Only problem is, I hate restarts. 

We’ll stated!

My guess is that Merc dropping the lawsuit might play out in a Masi related announcement soon.

he got terribly unlucky.

He’s not disillusioned because he lost. He’s not even disillusioned because he got unlucky at the end. He’s disillusioned because the race director for the governing body deliberately chose not to follow their own rules (backed by decades of precedent) in order to manufacturing a 1 lap shootout by which he became a…

Nope.

My issue with the outcome was that they had a seemingly perfectly reasonable option available - leaving the backmarkers and green flagging the race a lap earlier - but just choose not to do that. I don’t even think the outcome would have been any different, Max probably would have spent half a lap getting around the…
