I suspect this is the same hyper-vigilance a spouse gets when the other is driving. Somehow I can go 20 years without an accident but everytime the spouse is in the car it's not the same as 'their' driving so they constantly feel the need to backseat drive and press the imaginary break. Not saying Tesla driving is perfect but it's better than a lot of drivers I know.

He also said at the event that all Teslas would have the same robotaxi features.

Because most Uber rides are 1-2 person and a car designed to be smaller is cheaper.

Autonomy is solved. It will have hiccups/mistakes, but fewer than a human driver makes. The lack of steering wheel is solved by having support drivers who can work it remotely when the passenger presses a 'help' button or similar.

If you believe that is free speech, post your SSN, phone number, and address here right now, or would you be fine if i posted them for you?

You must realize this document doxxes JD Vance. Including birthdate, phone number, most of SSN, his home address, criminal history, etc. The dude will have to move now.

How is the vice presidential candidates social security number, phone number, and home address in the public interest?

Doxing someone is not free speech. Documents aren't just 'hacked documents' when they include private information.

I disagree that a'99%' level won't get good enough for legal liability. Let's say normal human drivers make an error once every 10 miles, but Tesla's FSD makes an error once every 100 miles. The obvious choice is Tesla FSD even though it is not 100% perfect, and in fact it is 10 times better than a human driver. They might even make it illegal to drive without FSD once it becomes widely available. In the end all the speculation about how good it is or can be means absolutely zero because the results will be created in the end by insurance companies or Tesla, which has it's own insurance company. If it actually is causing more crashes, insurance companies will start charging higher rates, less people will buy Tesla's etc. But we aren't seeing that, with FSD already out there, the insurance premiums for Teslas are not skyrocketing to cover all the accidents. I sort of glossed over this but Tesla also provides insurance which guarantees at least one market participant in FSD, if they cannot make money insuring their own cars FSD will fail, if they can make a profitable insurance company insuring them then FSD will succeed.

Because it was created by/for the movie studios. Everything else is just unintended consequences.

The title here is click bait. The article actually just says they changed the way FSD is worded, it is still offered.

How long have you been a landlord? If it's so easy, everyone would do it.

Excessive profits are actually the catalyst for competition. THe cycle of capitalism and free markets looks like this: earn excess profits -> people build more supply -> prices come down and excess profits dry up -> people stop building -> earn excess profits. When you fix the 'prices come down and excess profits dry up' all you get is people stop building.

Right, but we are relying on what the 'driver said.' Anyone who has been involved in an accident knows the other driver will lie through their teeth to avoid responsibility.

Mayba a dumb idea, but given we have regenerative braking on cars, why not harness the heat energy produced while landing to store and/or use the energy generated for whatever mechanism that might help counter the heat.

This article was 5 hours old at the time I'm viewing it and the bug is supposedly already fixed per the article itself. So yea, seems like this was probably fixed within 5 minutes of anyone noticing.

We have had pneumatic tubes as well since 1799 and they've been used by many companies in the past. The only thing novel about the idea was the scale and technology behind scaling it.

Might I add the other articles suggested by this author you call credible are titled "Elon Musk is a Racist" and "Elon Musk wants to relive his start-up days. He's repeating the same mistakes"

I am judging the author on this article alone and it is not credible. Maybe he just got emotionally charged for some reason or is looking to build an audience by getting the clicks that come with hating on a popular person. I think objectively it is glossing over the fact that Musk has nothing to do with the current Hyperloop project. Musk has done nothing but put free research into the world then this author makes a very grande assumption that he released free research out of some evil conspiracy that releasing free research would make governments stop building trains. Not only that but its been less than 10 years since that was idea was released and the author speaks as if its been tried and failed everywhere. I don't see how much less credible the author could be.

In this case he hasn't done anything except release an idea. As the saying goes, Buyer Beware. Musk gives out a free idea and people are mad at him for it? If anything they should be mad at themselves for investing in it when Musk literally said he won't invest in it himself.
