That was Donnys way to scratch Elon's back for helping with the campaign. After the back stabbing and subsequent fall out, I'm sure Elon took all his people out.

WHY THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE STILL EXPECTING THIS GARBAGE TO WORK? Tesla’s “full self driving” crashes have been widely covered. Is it simple ignorance? Are they not aware of the news? Is it stubbornness? Laziness? Thinking that “it won’t happen to me”? Do they sincerely believe Musk’s lies?

I know that victim blaming isn’t the answer, and that’s not what I’m doing. I just want to know what’s going on in their heads.

People don't know the unreliability of such systems. They also don't know how simple Tesla's autopilot is compared to other systems.

As a person who has used OpenCV before, I would never trust a computer vision system. I maybe could trust LiDAR based systems as those can see 3d but that's a big "maybe".

The weirdest part to me is that apple engineer who died in a tesla crash. I have no idea how an engineer working in a software company could trust that thing

What's mad is there are self-driving vehicles that do actually seem to work. There is even a few that have enough confidence to remove driving controls. But they use LiDAR, the one technology that musk refuse is to incorporate for some reason.

Cost, the reason is cost.

Elon Musk is best friends with Tony Stark. He's a jeanius.

These people locked inside and burning to death are just crashing it wrong.

they're investigating the option of giving elon more money

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago

This should bump the stock up another $50-60 tomorrow!!

[-] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

That image reminded me of the incident a few jears ago so i thought it was a repost but the article is from 2025.10.09

[-] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

How many more times does Tesla's trash excuse of a self-driving system need to be investigated?

[-] Kissaki@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Tesla should be fined and forced to change when saying or responding with "despite its name self driving is not self driving". They continue to lie. With continued consequences. At the cost of others and the public.

Them responding as such is absurd. Them getting away with that even more so.

[-] tb_@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

It's because during (boasting?) exaggerated claims are often made, so it's totally fiiiine and legal!

Consumer protection is such a sham.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au -2 points 3 weeks ago

But it is self driving, and it needs to be supervised like the name says.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

Who is still buying these things man?

"Full self driving"

[-] lumen@feddit.nl 0 points 3 weeks ago

Is that this Hyperloop thing Musk was talking about?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

That's a tunnel in Las Vegas, and last I heard it was seeping toxic waste that causes severe chemical burns into said tunnel.

a tunnel in Las Vegas

No that's the Loop. No one has built a hyperloop yet, beyond a few short test tracks.

How is this clearly defective product still on the market?? If any other car manufacturer had "features" that were so consistently causing this much mayhem they would have recalled all vehicles and been held liable.

[-] nialv7@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

We don't look at car features in isolation. e.g. seatbelt or airbag could cause injuries too in a crash, but we have them because it's better than not having them.

In the same token self driving doesn't have to be perfect, it just need to be better than humans. I don't know what Tesla's number looks like, just speaking generally.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

As a motorcyclist and bicyclist, I am not afraid of getting hurt by failures of other people's seatbelts and airbags.

I know what you're getting at, but there's more at stake here.
