If NHTSA could stop shitting the bed with fundamentally misunderstanding adaptive headlights so that many of these aiming issues could become moot points, that’d be greeeeat....

I prefer to channel my inner Ralphie.

I guess that explains why I’m not a tesla investor. 

I have always taken that advice. <shrug>

Ask him why people never get spacial disorientation when they fly simulator aircraft. People use more than just their eyes to drive.

It’s a fine long term goal, but the image processing just isn’t there yet to do this reliably. Not to mention relying on only vision has gotten us humans in trouble (motorcycles during dusk/dawn, anyone?). Autonomy should strive to be better than humans and that encourages using added sensors to perceive things we…

I mean, I’d love to hear less about him. I’d also love it if he stopped being such a piece of shit.

If you’re an AI Robotics company Elon, than shut down your vehicle production.

So... suspend disbelief and believe in some magical Musk vaporware to keep investing in them. Their FSD is falling behind other systems on the market and I doubt they’re ahead of any other big players in solving AI.

I just cannot believe how after all of these years people still believe anything Musk has to say when it concerns timelines, and the fact that news outlets are uncritically passing along that this new affordable car is coming out “sooner” is absurd. 

If the car was parked at a house, why didn’t they approach him there instead of when he’s already on the highway...especially if they’re assuming he’s so dangerous???

It’s so stupid. The reason that Uber exists is so that anyone can turn their car into a taxi, because the medallion system limited the number of licensed cabs.

The reason that the medallion system was implemented was because too many people were turning their cars into taxis, creating a system where taxis clogged the…

The old pitch of owner-run robotaxis is back. The fleet will be managed by Tesla, but owners will be able to “rent out” their car, with controls over who gets to access it.

This is exactly what people need, lets give the average person even more power and acceleration when they can’t manage to control and altima like a responsible adult

Great. Now it can run me into traffic or a wall even faster. 

“The report caught the attention of the Orange County Auto Theft Task Force, which traced the vehicle to Rodgers’ home in Costa Mesa and had it under surveillance all morning.”

I’m not saying that every Ford, Chevy and Honda that comes off the assembly line is perfect, but 95% of the anger and angst that customers have against an automaker is because of the lousy dealership experience and is not the fault of the automaker. If all these independent dealers did a better job of being fair and…

A dozen cops for one stolen ca . . . Oh.

On the whole, dealerships are a huge expense to consumers that is no where near balanced by services provided. They exist only to make money as a middleman, fleecing people that would be better off buying directly from manufacturers. But for protective state laws (that their lobbyists have essentially bought and paid…

I call horseshit on the file cabinet story
