That downside is huuuuuuuuuge though if you’re a troglodyte like me.

They are going to assert that anyone who interacts with a Tesla Cab automatically agrees with their terms and conditions absolving them of any liability...and then include getting hit by one to count as interacting.

I always thought GM’s super cruse was an interesting solution where they’d scan highways to build such a “visual” at least in terms of the roadway. I’m guessing that scanning equipment must be expensive and it’s definitely very bulky. If I were GM, I’d be working towards a way to fit consumer cars with scanning tech…

He said the same bullshit that cost Faux News almost $800m in a settlement last year to avoid going to trial. Dominion should sue his pathetic ass.

At some point it seems like someone with actual power to do something about it should ask the obvious question: why are these goddamned things allowed on our roads?

A key difference being that my dashcam does not mysteriously turn itself off before I go all Leroy Jenkins on someone.

That’s why dashcams, like body cams, are so valuable. Accountability on both sides. 

Normally I’m not about escalating issues to police if it get’s handled, but I would be so heated, I would have called them and be hoping something bad happened when they showed up, but that’s just my knee jerk reaction.

Some people will have a field day throwing themselves at robotaxis, trying to collect a Tesla payout.

Consider guided missiles. The earliest were optically guided - you have a camera, usually located on your weapon pod, with some really basic computing power behind it that can recognize moving shapes and keep pointing the missile at them. This is more or less how self driving cars work now, by trying to recognize what…

A nice side effect of my dashcam is that is makes ME a more, umm, polite driver. Any time I get fired up by others’ stupidity, I think, do I really want to record my own aggressive response?  

I wonder if the police would have shown up if she told them that they intentionally attacked her with their car, and that she was afraid for her safety.

Weird that Elon think cameras are enough because humans don’t have radar or other ways of sensing, but he is forgetting that our eyes are much better than his cameras and connected to the most powerful computer in the known universe. And that’s not taking into consideration that our eyes stay inside the car and clear…

The “WTF” part is a feature, not a bug, of these autonomous companies. They want all the $$$ and none of the responsibility.

“Those so-called robotaxis don’t have any manual controls”

He was talking about voting machines, but yep, he said it.

Jesus, that moron actually said that as the owner of an AI company and CEO of another company trying to fully automate cars?

This seems to highlight how autonomous vehicles cannot rely on vision cameras alone.

The irony of Musk summed up in one sentence he said at his rally in Philadelphia yesterday:

I’ll business you!  ;)
