Seriously, this is horrifying in the extreme. The US is now officially a rogue state. Christ.

I still don’t get “Send In the Drones” deal...

Right up until the forward vector of the Center-of-Lift causes the fucking thing to snap stall.

Look, you were wrong when you were on here right after the ET crash, saying this same horseshit. Let’s start with the same, fucking whopper you cited then:

I respect this womans hustle. She is click bait incarnate and she is making bank of it now.

You and people like you should be set on fire and thrown off buildings and I have no shame in admitting it

It’s not really her fault; some idiot asked her about it. It’s not like she “chose to take this stance” by scheduling a press conference to announce she wouldn’t go. Someone interviewing her asked her a question, and she answered the question presented to her.

This was filmed weeks - if not months - ago (just look at her hair color). She was asked a direct question and answered directly. Honestly, if she had answered the question at that time any differently, it would’ve been transparently disingenuous.

Bingo. Why don’t these guys address the moose-in-the-room.... namely why the fuck doesn’t this car (which Musk-0 again claims will drive coast to coast sans driver AGAIN this year) see inanimate objects stopped in its path? At least the human driver pretends to try to stop by pressing on that big left pedal called the…

Speaking from a tort perspective, the primary question is whether the Tesla could have avoided the accident or not. The fact the Tesla hit the trailer and not the cab strongly suggests the accident was avoidable. At least that is the way the law views it in NY.

But autopilot is very concerning here. Why? Because it didn’t respond to a very large object. There is zero excuse for it to not pick up on things that take your head and the top of the car off and then allow the rest of the mess to continue on for 1600 feet.  

The Tesla Cult always trots out “EU guard rail standards”...

Obama and Bush told NATO the same thing as Trump to spend 2% of GDP on defense. The only difference is Obama and Bush did it with tact while Trump threatened them.  Some NATO members started spending more starting 4 years ago.

Or we could work harder on educating pedestrians to not walk out into the road without looking, keep a closer eye on their kids, and have cyclists and bikers keep to the fucking edge of the road.

Or we could actually place the burden of responsibility on the licensed driver piloting a three-ton apparatus to know how to drive it responsibly and to prepare for all conditions.

This is frankly bullshit. The idea that an aware pedestrian has never been hit is incredibly stupid. You need to check a number of directions when crossing. This also assumes, as an aware pedestrian, that cars will act in a predictable manner, this is also not true.

Actually, pedestrians and cyclists have rights, drivers have a revocable privilege.

You seem to misunderstand the rights and priorities of motor vehicle operation. Allow me to explain:

Unfriend and block them. They are not your friends. If they support trump, then they are ignorant racist assholes.
