A great mystery is how Tesla is avoiding culpability and liability for gross lying and mortal harms caused by the product, and instead being rewarded with fantastic amounts of money!
Personal computer appliance users truly blame themselves for the failures of the devices, no matter the degree of wreckage and injury caused by bad design, while cheering the men (unbearable a*holes) who foist malfunctional and dangerous tech upon them.
The captains of this industry are notorious for refusing to take responsibility for their mistakes and actively planning to deploy tech they themselves claim is hazardous, while being continually cheered by investors hungry to make a killing.
Tesla is a case study for the world about the hazards of California Ideology libertarianism and the precedence of greed over personal responsibility and justice.
Since Ronald Reagan, personal responsibility has never been a libertarian (Republican) trait. It's always "Oops I did it again!" and "I forgot!"
No surprise the "trolley problem" is the signature thought experiment for the industry as its technocrats constantly hunt for ways to escape responsibility and seek unearned profits.
With the woeful performance of Musk's cars and robots, DOGE fiasco, Federal schedule drug habit, goonerism, and inability to maintain personal relationships, Musk's plans for a mars adventure are psychotic.
Don't get me wrong, I love Tesla design. I just never understood why anyone would deliberately inject additional possible critical safety faults into their driving experience.
I was glad when they started charging for it, 'cuz it just meant fewer dangerous Teslas on the road.
I have no doubt we'll get to full autopilot...eventually, and we've "gotten there" already with adaptive cruise control, BUT in the interim, if you can't pay full attention while driving you shouldn't be driving.
I liked this YouTube comment: "Never before have I seen a CEO get away with straight up lying to investors so often." So...like, you're kinda young then, right? Basically you're unaware of private equity, the 2008 housing crisis and occupy Wall Street. I agree what he's doing is wrong, really wrong. I'm just sick of the obvious partisan schadenfreude hyperbole. Was an article about Chorus on hacker news? I'll search, maybe I missed it by one day. Such is social media.
Anyone who claims that FSD doesn't work is flat out lying. I've used FSD 13 for almost all of my driving since it came out last Dec. I've used in in cities like Boston and I've used it on dirt roads in Vermont and Maine. I've used it on highways and on mountain roads. It's worked in the rain, snow and fog. I drive up Cadillac Mountain Maine in the fog. It's stopped for deer, twice, it's stopped for a e-scooter rider who shot out into the street without looking, I would have hit him had I been driving but FSD has faster reactions than a human and more and better sensors so it stopped. It does make mistakes but none have been dangerous. There are some anomalies, for example it swerved around a squished animal but not a pothole.
At this point I feel much safer with FSD driving than by hand driving. Humans only have two eyes, FSD has cameras on the fenders, the B pillars and the rear as well as the cameras on the windshield and it's looking at all of them all the time, that's impossible for a human. The cameras also see better at night than human eyes.

But what fun to watch!

- The scary effect music shows it's intended as a hit piece.
- The constant intermixing of Autopilot and Full Self Driving, two very different things.
- Implying that driving just based on visual input is unsafe, when that is how all humans drive.
Of course, that the video is an unserious hit piece doesn't mean these Tesla features are safe. But I need something more serious to be convinced.
