  That was a pretty real video of it going twice the speed limiting st trying to launch them to space over the speed bumps… what’s YOUR agenda?

    I don’t have any except, maybe, promoting a less biased, more balanced view on any subject. Be it scientific, technological or political. I sometimes like playing the devils advocate when I think it could feed curiosity and critical thinking.

  I know you don’t live here so you can just be relaxed and ummm acckktually from behind your keyboard. But please understand that real humans live on the streets that this dangerous machine is careening through, and it’s only a matter of time before it kills someone. Intentional acts of violence must be stopped immediately, and they don’t need a devils advocate. Please watch any of the footage from the last 3 days of operation, it’s very straightforwardly clear to any observer just how fucked up and dangerous these machines are.

    I live in France and am glad autonomous vehicles are not allowed here. I wish Americans where as protected from private company abuse as we are here. But I stand by the fact that the source does not look trustworthy.

  Pretty bold claim. Who can we trust in this scenario? How do we trust you?

    I’m just pointing to the fishiness of the source. I am in no way a Tesla fan. I think the individual electric car is a bad solution to air pollution and global warming. Got a bit more into detail higher up in the comments.

      Fair, but you are wrong about me. Explained it in an other answer higher in the comments.

      Oh shit 😆👍 Thanks for the clarity. I knew my gut feeling was tingling in the right frequency in this case.

      I did, and now I did again. I don’t see/understand any clues to it being a “fake website” after browsing around and looking at various pages and articles. 🤷‍♂️ Can somebody help me understand? (Besides the condescending “just look at it”, thanks!)

        Fake might have been a poor choice of word. I just found it extremely biased and it had very few articles when this one was published. On their footers it reads “FuelArc News is your unbiased source for American automotive news.” When an unbiased view is waived around, I don’t consider it a very good sign toward actuality.
