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.

It’s because during (boasting?) exaggerated claims are often made, so it’s totally fiiiine and legal!
Consumer protection is such a sham.

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

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

Some of the stupidest people I’ve ever known were brilliant engineers.
Same could be said for many people with very specific doctorates.
As the popular band Smashmouth once sang: ‘Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb’.

Because many of us are fucking morons. I had one colleague who was writing the control software for a baseball-throwing machine. Despite being way past the deadline and way over budget, the client asked him to create a special version of the software so the machine could be used with Little League teams. He decided to do his first test of this version on a field with actual Little Leaguers on it, which resulted in a 125 mph knuckleball (no spin at all so incredibly erratic in flight) a foot above a 10-year-old kid’s head. Which resulted in the only time in my programming career that I had to physically intervene to prevent a fistfight between two people (my boss and the client).

all this shit is tested in sunny Southern California at day time. None of it works raining or snowing.

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.

There are analog versions called buses.
Strider@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I still personally know multiple people who still think those are awesome cars.
They’re otherwise educated, intelligent people!
I really don’t comprehend.
SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
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 should investigate why assholes are still feeding Fascists.

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 2 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 2 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.

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

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

How many more times does Tesla’s trash excuse of a self-driving system need to be investigated?
lumen@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago
Is that this Hyperloop thing Musk was talking about?
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 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.
frog_meister@lemmings.world 2 weeks ago
Pretty sure he got public funding for that stunt, too.
Vegas people love getting conned.

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

it’s still around for sure. dunno what they’re doing now, I think they’re laying low and hoping donny forgets he’s paying them a paycheck
nucleative@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

they already cut the NHTSA.
