Next will be teslas without airbags. Because why not.
the incompetence of this guy holy.
Adaptive cruise control is good enough for most people and has been a proven technology for 20+ years. FSD is just downright dangerous.
I like my car’s version that’s just adaptive cruise control combined with using lidar maps of major roads to do lane-centering. I can go on a road trip and not touch the gas, break, or steering wheel for hours, but I have to drive it myself through residential neighborhoods.
what type of car? my outback isn't bad but it's not quite that good, especially if there's a stiff breeze

They’ll even pass slow cars then get back over.
And none of that “touch the steering wheel every few min” stuff, but it uses infrared pupil trackers to make sure you’re mostly looking at the road and not sleeping.

Why do we continue to allow this company to exist and break the law?
Corruption
Money
By these powers combined...

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.
Do you ever return and read your posts back?
protect occupants
It doesn't even do that. You crash a tesla and start a fire, it will glady lock you in the car.

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
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.
He's been real quiet lately. No more talks of release the list or the America Party. Did his K plug go on vacation?
Now trump is black bagging US citizens in broad daylight, and Musk is an immigrant who fully admitted that he originally entered the country illegally. The danger must have creeped its way through his ketamine addled brain.
Musk also has a private army of security contractors (and someone like him probably has mercenaries off killing people in other countries too)
he's far too much trouble to go after, if you're DHS, regardless if you're Trump DHS or Democrat DHS. someone like that is ungovernable.
He didnt buy ihs gold plated visa?
Maybe while he was doing the DOGE thing he changed his status.
They finally did it. They automated crime 👍
