Give it fucking rest Gizmodo. Your hardon for Musk has reached truly incalculable proportions.
Guys... GUYS! Calm down!
It actually just sounds a lot like the truth. Too bad it’s so inhuman it sounds inflammatory.
The writers at Gizmodo and this whole operation have horrible opinions that they feel the need to shove down our throats and ruin otherwise half decent articles. I was just trying to recall at what point they decided they didn’t like Elon Musk, as every article they wrote for years was nothing but praise. Now they…
Musk is the only person who had the hubris to think that he could contribute something that not a single one of the hundreds of more qualified search-and-rescue specialists, divers, or Navy SEALS asked for, needed, or wanted. And the media keeps eating out of his asshole, and Musk knows it. He’s not trying to help,…
The email needs to be printed out and shoved in Adams mouth.
Guy has money, material, smart cookies, and the ability to pretty much put anything he wants into motion.
Adam, you just lost all respect I had for you. We should not be shaming people that try to help, whether the help was needed or not. He has been very clear about his intentions to try to help if needed and if not, then great. He has also tweeted that the rescue was all the Thai government and he was not needed, but he…
Oh please, employee safety? These are people working in “production lines”, not the office. Ford, GM, and others all have a similar level of injuries. Do you see any media targeting them?
OHSA has not given any judgment, but media has “build” the narrative of evil elon how oppresses workers.
This is propaganda, not news.
Nice ad homonim attack AJ - this is why people don’t trust you journalists any more.
if it reduces crashes by 1% its an effective system
As a fellow driving enthusiast, I would like to point out that the road is full of people who have nothing but contempt for operating a motor vehicle. The road is full of people looking at their phones instead of the road. As much as I hate the idea of auto-pilot in my car, I would very much like for something else to…
They aren’t based solely upon tickets. If you’ve crashed a few times you may not have earned a single ticket nut your premium is still going to be high.
How someone can be so short sighted to not see self driving cars as the future is insane.
1: You’re not alone, I also prefer driving... like, 99% of the time.
They are based on who gets ticketed more often. The problem is there is a gender and ethnicity bias at play here. Men are far more likely to receive a ticket for the same offense, as are minorities. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~rowebr/pdfs/rowe_policegenderbias_sep09.pdf
New stuff isn’t created from nothing overnight. This technology is new, and its not perfect, but honestly, its doing pretty damn good, relatively speaking. Tesla doesn’t claim it to be perfect, which is why the use of the system is absolutely covered with warnings, instructions and disclaimers.
Autopilot is Tesla’s brand name for their driver assist suite. So of course you won’t hear any other car brand using that term. Nissan has ProPilot, Cadillac has Super Cruise, Audi has Traffic Jam Pilot, Mercedes has Drive Pilot, Volvo has Pilot Assist. Tesla got the cool name because it was one of the first in the…
A common thread among all these crashes, in addition to the driver apparently not paying attention, is that they seem to involve a collision with a stationary truck in a spot where it doesn’t have much or any bodywork that extends down to bumper level.
I wonder if the system is getting confused and thinking these are…
