It was simply Musk getting mad at someone for pushing back on what he was asking for and punishing the entire team as part of his tantrum.

In all honesty, without the belief you can change the world for the better, you won’t graduate as an engineer.

Young engineers are so setup for drinking the Kool-aid.

My hope is that the people in the company land on their feet.

I want Elon to fail. I don’t want Tesla to fail.

Brakes do exist in cars, you know. Believe it or not, you can actually slow down or *gasp* stop!

Now you’re missing the point, because what we’re talking about here is choosing between hitting a pedestrian and temporarily crossing the yellow line into unoccupied road space.

I don’t think that’s what OP is saying, and the scenario you laid out doesn’t really match what’s happening in the video.

Nobody is dying from a car crash at that speed.

Ah, my bad. Please, by all means, ignore the double yellow. It’ll be fine.

That doesn’t make it better. It just proves that these vehicles can’t respond to an unknown situation. Also, your fact-checking (and the article) left out that Cruise then tried to cover it up, giving false information to investigators.

I guess we know how Waymo has decided to solve the trolley problem, huh? Better to possibly kill a minivan full of toddlers that definitely kill a bunch of unicyclers. Stopping and not killing anyone has been deemed an unrealistic possibility, apparently. Got places to be, can’t stop, won’t stop.

“Slow down” not on the menu? I suppose that’d to be expected if you train the AI model on US driving. 

“Per the company, the cab “detected that there may be a risk of a person within that crowd who had fallen down, and decided to carefully initiate a passing maneuver when the opposing lane was clear to move around what could be an obstacle and a safety concern.””

Hitting a curb can damage more than just the wheel, shill.

I do not trust FSD anymore.

I think the point is that when first reading the subhead, one might parse the phrase “abuse from Tom Holland” and momentarily think that Holland himself was perpetrating the abuse

I suspect we’ll learn more about what went down and why in the coming days.

None of that justifies 5 cops firing 96 times. The criminal penalty for everything you described is not summary execution. Cops aren’t supposed to be executioners.

Sounds fantastic - until your habitat bubble pops and you sink down into the hellstorm to be sous-videed at 400C and marinaded in motherfucking sulfuric acid...!
