Why don’t they beg for the mandate to be lifted?

Yes. You can dial in an offset to be applied. If you normally drive 5 over, it will instead drive 60 when it sees a 55 mph sign.  This is off by default.

A little more detail about the rolling stop:

Can’t handle the argument so jump to the insult.  Got it.

Try your hardest to follow me here - in designing an autonomous car that has to share the road with a vast majority of human drivers, the best approach is to have it drive like humans do. Let’s pick a different example. Do you like being stuck behind someone driving exactly the speed limit on a busy freeway because

Right. Your single experience should be the baseline for the world. Narcissist much?

Yeah, that’s the real story here.  OTA != recall.

Because that is how people drive.  Coming to a complete stop when the person behind you is not expecting you to can also cause an accident or road rage.  This feature was off by default and only happened in specific situations where no cars were around.  I had it enabled on my car and it never did a rolling stop once.

The best car I ever drove in the snow was a BMW i3 with Bizzaks.  Even being RWD, those skinny tires got through the snow to the pavement and the Blizzaks provide excellent grip.

Agreed - EXCEPT - have you priced modern headlights these days? Granted, with new LED technology they should last but they can be > $1k. Back in the old halogen bulb days, they were cheap and easily replaced.

On a side note, anything less than always on will still have cases where it fails. My car has auto lights but

That has been fixed.  It now slows down and presents a message anytime you are around flashing emergency lights.

It simple. The goal is for FSD to drive like (or better than) a good HUMAN driver because it’s sharing the road with other humans. Driving to the letter of the law would cause accidents and road rage. Tesla has the right approach.

How does this entire article not contain a sentence that says something to the effect of turning radius with Trail Turn Assist on is X and without is Y?

Most likely stock that was set aside for warranty/repairs but has now been deemed available for new car production.  Given the current supply chain shortages, this seems perfectly valid to me.  Tesla is up front about it and if your cool with this and want your car today, click buy.  Otherwise, get in line like

This is what was actually filmed. You can tell CNN edited it with an agenda.

...That nobody test-driving its driver-assistance tech has crashed into a school bus...

Yeah. That would be the first time anyone has ever crashed into a bus...

I’m surprised - and pleased - to see Jalopnik cover this. They seemed to report the original incident with glee. Wouldn’t it be nice if the media - all media - didn’t jump to conclusions before all facts of situations are known?

3rd gear: She sits on the board of a Lidar company. Kind of relevant.

And people like you amaze me. This is 100% the fault of this single driver yet people like you would ban/restrict/limit cars from everyone else while knowing it will do NOTHING to prevent the issue from happening again. There are hundreds of thousands of safe drivers with high power cars that you have no right to take
