“It’ll be a few million miles from the surface of Earth in 2047 and 2050, but we’ll all be dead.”

Make them the same price as ICE and they will be. They aren’t even close today. The payback over time is too slow as well.

We called our bus in 6th grade the Formula 1 bus. Last stickshift in the fleet. She always shifted at the redline. I lived in a very hilly town, so momentum was important. She liked to brake hard too so we would allow our upper bodies to sway back and fourth with the motions. She was doing her hard braking thing once…

I like it with one exception. The drivers.

Speaking of failures, this sentence is one:

As I’ve mentioned, the VQ series is definitely one for the books, it’s definitely one that was able to chug along for so long, but “fine” is relative.

I’d be hard-pressed to call it a *new* engine. The VQ38 is another variant of the VQ30 that was developed in 1994. At one time, I owned a VQ30, 35, and 40, all at the same time.

Has anyone ever been charged with reckless AI driving without causing any damage? Honestly curious.

Yeah, at some point there is going to be a huge lawsuit dealing with the liability of drivers using FSD or a similar type of system.  

There are laws against driving drunk or driving dangerously and offenders are prosecuted. There are not laws against a computer driving around dangerously and offenders are not prosecuted. This is the problem.

Seriously, the last 30 seconds before his destination the car tries to turn down some RR tracks, tries to hit 3 separate bollards, makes numerous janky turns and stop/starts as it feels its way around turns, and then he pulls to a stop and is like “Perfect, it got us here!”. If I were driving behind this car I would…

$50k and pay an extra $10k $12k on top of that for the privilege of being a beta tester.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.

People willing to give a company $50k then joyfully work for them for free while having wet dreams about the CEO is even more crazy

Its really interesting how the youtuber refers to “perfect” maneuvers where the car drives like a half blind octogenarian on their learners permit.

Two questions to FSD testers. Will Tesla pay for damages if FSD messes up? This is exactly the kind of situation where a radar/lidar unit would have been useful. How do you feel about Tesla deciding to rely purely on computer vision and taking radar out of their cars completely?

It’s just gearing up to start running down cyclists, the system got a taste and the apatite cannot be satisfied.

“I hit the brakes to the floor”
“Yeah, I can’t believe it didn’t stop”

Actual quote from the video. That is terrifying.

“People willing to beta test our lives is crazy” - fixed

That at least involves consent by the user. I never consented to walking or driving around this half-assed AI tech.
