Elon’s recent tweet hits the nail on the head. We’ve seen what, like 2 people in the US die while using Tesla Autopilot, and in both cases they weren’t paying attention. Then you have the almost 40,000 people who die every year in the US from humans driving. Take a look at the Wiki page for motor vehicle fatalities to…

You haven’t fully grasped the problem here. I certainly hope you don’t end up on the same road as one of those idiots you’re so eager to endorse..

Oh shit, I didn’t even see the baby seat. RIP Little Neckbeard Jr.

Baby seat. Fedora. Uses this stupid thing. OMG.

I dunno about you, but I’d prefer that idiot not do his idiot things on the same roads I have to do my non-idiot things on.

Reminds me of a fun saying I once heard:
“All machines are smoke machines if you operate them wrong enough”

I’m answering just by way of explanation - this device is stupid, people who use it are stupid. Here’s my experience: there is a torque sensor that is used to determine whether you are holding the steering wheel, and it’s looking for you to be pushing back ever so slightly against the car’s steering inputs, not unlike…

Oh totally. This product is fucking stupid and dangerous. I was just reminded of the other safety devices I have defeated and lived to tell of.

Yeah....This isn’t someone accidentally driving into a telephone pole. This is someone driving into other cars and human beings.

I imagine you weren’t constantly surrounded by other humans where you were mowing though, so I’d give it a pass compared to this bs.

“I’ll bet he vapes, too.” That reminds me, I’ve been wanting to build a massive vapor rig to mount to my crappy car. It’s to deal with the idiots that drive down the road that decide that blowing massive vape plumes out their window is “cool”. I want to pull up alongside them, press a giant button, and just start…

My only problem with that is the idiot might also take out other more intelligent people out of the gene pool in the process.

...tips his “fedora” which is actually a trilby.

In a case like this, comparing Tesla deaths to Cruze deaths is 100% irrelevant. If a Tesla owner buys this and runs into a brick wall, I couldn’t care less; stupid is as stupid does. But a Tesla on the road is not a closed system; it shares the road with other drivers. What happens when the Tesla’s glorified passenger…

I enjoy the irony of people buying a luxury performance vehicle but not actually wanting to drive it.

Thank God the lead shot is sealed inside so I don’t get lead poisoning. WTF?!

I bet you’re right. I bet he also tips his fedora.

He looks like what I think a guy that would buy that would look.

In the case of a marginally skilled driver all of the “pieces” are there for me, the guy driving in front of you, to be marginally safe. “Marginally” is still in the equation. In the scenario where this device is being used you have intentionally taken out safety features of the vehicle (you, the marginally skilled…

I think I’m more shocked that someone has the gall to price this at $179.
