That part really pissed me off.
I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )
Leave it to GM to find a way to thread the needle and seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
Guy in a Dogecoin t-shirt and a neckbrace: “i-i-it was r-r-really great.”
This put a smile on my face.
No kidding, they fail you if you DON’T come to a complete stop.
I covered that crash.
FSD is never enabled at the moment of impact, because FSD shuts off less than a second before impact, so that Tesla’s lawyers and most loyal fans can make exactly the arguments you are making. Torque would be applied to the steering wheel when any vehicle departs the roadway, as the driver is thrown around like a ragdoll as they clutch the wheel. Depending on the car, torque can also be applied externally to the tires by rough terrain to shift the steering wheel.
No evidence to suggest the driver was distracted. Prove me wrong if you have that evidence.
Also welcome to the platform, new user!
Guess what? People already do that.
NYC Mayoral candidate Mamdani is talking about making busses free, and that makes a radical shitload of sense.
Free autotaxis would be a boon for productivity and personal freedom, like AI promises to be but democratized for everybody rather than just the richest fraction of a percent.
The only difference being you can ask a human cabbie to slow down :,)
I thought that was to economize for expenses?!
So naturally they started with 5 employees in the smallest office of one of the smallest divisions of the NHTSA. Nooooo ulterior motive, nosiree
My over/under to a major crash from when they remove safety operator from front seat? Under 14 days.
They are currently dirt cheap, because Tesla isn’t looking to profit (this is a PR stunt and stock pumping excercise for now).
The rides cost $4.20. Haaah, that joke will never get old, Elon :|
And yes, the reason that it impacts the stock price so radically, is that labor is a huge portion of professional driving expense. If you can make every professional driver unemployed by automating their job, you can make a small handful of people very, very rich.

I was a Waymo stan before Tesla made it cool!

Seriously, though. I am an avowed enemy of the grim reaper, I’m a fan of Volvos for the same reason. And I like how transparent Waymo is with their data. The independent study linked is really illuminating if you like automotive safety stats.
