    It’ll only benefit Tesla if anyone buys their shoddy cars.

    It won’t help Tesla one wit. They are going to collapse.

    Roadrunner cartoon style murals everywhere it is, then.

      I have absolutely no problem with self-driving vehicles and I’m fully prepared to accept that it is a possibility in the near future. However I am also utterly confident that it won’t be Tesla that finally cracks it, and I am sure that they will still call it “full self driving” even in a future where we have actual full self driving.

      The law really needs to be laid down on this stuff, unless it can actually drive itself without a human even in the vehicle, and do so reliably, then they’re not allowed to call it anything that implies that capability.

    Teslas are for Nazis

      In a delightful change of pace, the Nazis are putting themselves in the oven.

    Owning a tesler is embarrassing. Even in my deep red trump loving state, most people would never buy one.

    Great news for them in one country I guess!

    Wow such boon

  • DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Serious question: If I get hit by one of these death machines, who can I (or my next-of-kin) sue? Has that been established in court?

    source
    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Serious answer: the owner of the vehicle is responsible for it. You sue the owner, their insurance, possibly your insurance, possibly tesla, possibly nobody. The best result is to walk away avoiding court with more money.

      In a Musk-approved world:

      • You’re hit by a Tesla in FSD mode, the driver gets sued for not driving.
      • You’re hit by a fully autonomous Tesla taxi, you get sued for vandalism.
      • You’re the driver and FSD hit someone, you get sued.
      • You’re the owner and the car hits someone while you’re not in it, you get sued for owning it.
      • You’re the owner and it catches fire with you inside, you(r estate) gets sued for “not maintaining it”.

        In all cases, the warranty on the Tesla in question is immediately voided

    The boon here isn’t that it’ll allow them to bring a shoddy product to market. The boon is they’ll be able to continue milking investors by hiding the fact that they have no marketable product in this space while they keep selling off their stock.

  • Ulrich@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I wonder if the author realizes there are other companies making “autonomous” vehicles.

    source
    • TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      So you’re saying that a corrupt man in power uses that power to benefit himself at the expense of the public, but it’s not corruption, because additional parties also happen to benefit?

      i must be misunderstanding

      source
      • Ulrich@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Please point at where I said it was not corruption.

      I’m sure that they’re just as shitty and more concerned with profits than safety, just like Tesla. When you don’t punish companies and ceo’s like you would a homeless person, or teacher, or doctor, or police officer, or fireman, then they have no incentive to do anything other than profit.

    All I can say is invest in 4k vehicle cameras. Get one facing one and one facing the rear. CYA for when these self-driving Teslas start crashing into everything.

      Your going to need a body cam. The car isn’t too bad with others cars, it’s people and bikes and motorcycles out has real problems with.

        I think the problem was they probably trained the AI on Americans driving normally i.e badly, you lot had zero lane discipline

      give it a few months, and you won’t be allowed to sue tesla any more. i’m fucking serious.

        I have a Rove camera I got a few years ago. I want to get a second one for the back (I guess they sell a dual kit now).

    Well that’s convenient for the author maker / oligarch / unelected government squatter running the country. I guess every once in awhile things just turn up his way.

      the neat thing about oligarchs is the betting odds that they’ll keep their heads

        Why would a self driving car be waiting for a bus?

        Well that’s OK. There’s too many massive emotional support vehicles on the road already.

      will no longer have to report as much detailed, public crash information to the federal government

      I feel like this is more incentive not to purchase one, than to purchase one

      Yes, but you’ll be on the roads with them.
