We can see a car swerve, jerk its way from lane to lane, and intuitively understand this as aggressive behavior — we know what angry humans look like, how they act.

I won’t pretend to know what happens at this particular company, but most corporate jobs do dangle the carrot in front of their employees all year long, which seems to be implied did happen by the “cancelled bonuses” bit here. If your company doesn’t do bonuses anymore then be upfront about it at hiring & don’t say “if…

FIFY.

The “design” trend of slapping a big iPad on the dash and calling a day needs to end soon.

This the right take - who on earth is asking for this?

Let’s be honest, how many players actually want controller haptics? And that includes what’s already there - I remember force feedback being a big deal in the 90s when it was introduced but has it stood the test of time? I don’t remember the last time I noticed my controller rumbling because either I’m using a…

The last thing I want is a controller changing it’s shape.

This the right take - who on earth is asking for this?

Sounds like a good way to kill a battery faster. 

If Hyundai tried to do this 10 years ago I’d have agreed with you, but you’ve got to be real oblivious or really stubborn to not see that Hyundai/kia today is no longer the brand you remember in the 90s and 2000s. 

The absence of crashes does not indicate the presence of safe driving.

That story reminds me of home.  It’s always some sort of compact or midsized sedan with a noisy muffler, either intentionally or because the pipes are rusted out.

Even if the car could match our perception, I doubt it can match “intuition”. I avoided getting sideswiped by a jacked up brodozer that I was about to pass because I saw the driver glance in his mirror. I correctly guessed that he didn’t see my tiny Fiata and laid on the brakes just as he swung into my lane. I doubt…

Mr. Musk is a Confidence Man and a highly skilled one at that...

Here is my theory: Selling more Tesla’s.. has always been more important than delivering actual FSD. The basis for TSLA valuation was that it could eventually sell 10-20M cars a year. And Elon’s worth was primarily based on the stock price of TSLA at the time. Let me point out right away.. thats it should be…

You can pick up various mm wave radar sensors for maker projects for about $30. If we assume volume discounts for Tesla, I doubt pulling them saved more than $100 per car. That’s something when it’s spread across hundred of thousands of units, but nearly all automakers have clearly decided that it’s not worth the cost…

I’ve driven on the Merritt one time, and my main thought was how are there not 100 car pile-ups here on a daily basis.  I think traffic was moving at 70 when I was there, and it was literal bumper to bumper.  One mistake by anyone would have been disaster.

They have to say that for people who don’t know where Connecticut is.

Does any automaker do a test panel of these types of things? Or did they all basically go, “Well, Tesla did it, and people love Teslas!”
