as long as it doesn’t break the other ones. not all of the safety features we’ve developed in the last quarter century are bullshit
Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

Need jammers to confuse and break Teslas. They’re weapons designed to break laws and protect occupants at the expense of bystanders. Can’t be mad if a bystander redirects your Tesla into a ditch.

Hmm. I think lane-assist probably makes people worse at driving. Anything that lets people pay less attention on the road does, it trains drivers to be less alert. Adaptive cruise and automatic braking are probably a net benefit but “car safety” is not trending in the right direction.

Despite all these “safety features” accidents are far more common now than 20 years ago. “Driver aids” do nothing but encourage bad behaviour, better off just PAYING ATTENTION to the 2 ton steel cage your throwing down a concrete cheese grater at 60+mph…

Eh I have a hard time believing anything made or done in the last 20ish years was done for anything other than money.

Do you ever return and read your posts back?
mhague@lemmy.world 3 days ago
That’s a great question!
I do indeed read my posts back—how else would I proofread them? 🤖

It doesn’t even do that. You crash a tesla and start a fire, it will glady lock you in the car.

Can’t have too many witnesses after all.
