"Thanks for fixing this, Elon!" Guy will say like it was some weird UI bug and not a potentially fatal problem
Driving seems like it introduces way too many variables into transportation than something like comprehensive rail. Trying to automate the complexity of the highway and traffic system until the safety rate approaches a computerized train grid seems impossible until you can actually replicate human instinct, problem solving, experiential calculation, and improvisation in like a trillion scenarios.
I wish we were pouring all this money into massive public transit projects instead of robot death cars but that doesn't get the investors' blood pumping I guess

Drivers for Elon Musk's underground Loop system in Las Vegas have been instructed to bypass passengers' questions about how long they have been driving for the company, declare ignorance about crashes, and shut down conversations about Musk himself.
Using public records laws, TechCrunch obtained documents that detail daily operations at the Loop, which opened in June to transport attendees around the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) using modified Tesla vehicles. Among the documents is a "Ride Script" that every new recruit must follow when curious passengers ask questions.
The script also covers responses to questions about Musk himself: “This category of questions is extremely common and extremely sensitive. Public fascination with our founder is inevitable and may dominate the conversation. Be as brief as possible, and do your best to shut down such conversation. If passengers continue to force the topic, politely say, ‘I’m sorry, but I really can’t comment’ and change the subject.”https://techcrunch.com/2021/07/28/read-the-script-every-driver-for-elon-musks-las-vegas-loop-must-learn/
Nevertheless, the script provides a number of replies to common Musk questions. Ask what Musk is like and you should expect the answer: “He’s awesome! Inspiring / motivating / etc.”
Follow up with: “Do you like working for him?” and you’ll get a response that could have come straight from North Korea: “Yup, he’s a great leader! He motivates us to do great work.”
All hail benevolent Musk

Yeah, they have one of, if not the, worst auto-driving setups precisely because they rely on cameras only. No sonar or anything else.
Tesla is taking a very different tack. The company and its chief executive, Elon Musk, believe that self-driving cars can navigate city streets without three-dimensional maps. After all, human drivers do not need these maps. They need only eyes.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/20/technology/tesla-full-self-driving-fsd.html
I really hope this is the writer taking liberties and not a verbatim Musk quote
By Laboured Go To PostThat's a very inoffensive thing to say to get ratiod for.
Btw that wasn't a defense of musk so you can calm down. It was a general statement. Newer manufacturers all have problems with it. The Koreans more recently got a handle on it as well.
And Tesla is at the same point with their cars now. They will get there in another 10-15. Also they are cars for people who don't like cars so they don't care.
Hyundai was making $12,000 cars, not $120,000 ones. It's an awful comparison. You should expect better from a "luxury" brand.

When Tesla first shows images of its yoke-style steering "wheel" for the updated Model S and Model X, critics were, including us, almost universally skeptical. Most snap judgments had to do with the inability to maneuver hand-over-hand in a consistent manner when turning. After some real-world testing, however, Consumer Reports reveals that it's actually much worse than those initial observations predicted.
Of course, 10 test drivers at CR confirmed the blindingly obvious — that it was easy for hands to slip off the wheel during turns.
If that wasn't bad enough, the yoke design dispenses with traditional stalks for the turn signals, wipers, and high beams. Instead, controls for all of those functions, plus the horn, are located on flat touch-sensitive pads on the yoke's spokes. As a result, CR found them both easily activated inadvertently (bad for high beams) and difficult to find when you needed them (bad for the horn).
When the yoke was first revealed, we were told that you'd still be able to option a traditional wheel, but CR says that's not the case, which seems to be borne out on Tesla's website. Buy a Model S or Model X, and this is what you'd have to work with.Damn all those Consumer Reports test drivers have shorts on Tesla.
(It's not even optional lmao)
By Pedja Go To PostbUt fOrUmLa dRiVeRs UsE a YoKe tO sTeeRFor those that don't know, Formula 1 yokes turn at 300-400 degrees max instead of the typical 900 degrees that the Tesla yoke/standard wheels do.
