As a parent/child the first thing that comes from Tesla is a blog post and public statement on how your loved one allegedly was too stupid to use the car while Tesla goes into technical telemetry to grant themselves absolution.
oh let's not forget how they dealt with engineers calling out problems before they actually happened too:
well, i am just going to link to a search because i learned now there were SEVERAL of them https://www.google.com/search?q=tesla+whistleblower
...Also, while we are not-forgetting... TSLA CEO defended trump calling the country to reopen in the middle of the pandemic, just like other CEOs that sell pillows or something. Funny how we only keep one of them accountable.
It’s almost as if you cannot stop a respiratory virus using extremely barbaric non pharmaceutical interventions.
very few countries had effective social isolation, most like the US were having both the economic and health negative side effects of closing and not closing because leadership was disagreeing on everything. For example, some cities had curfews and closed restaurants, but open airports and counted every business that was not a restaurant as "essential".
But the few countries that did things correctly, like NZ, did have a much better outcome with close to ZERO deaths.
> The currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.
It's in the fine print but it's brought up every time you talk about Autopilot and enabling it in the car (it's disabled by default) requires you accept a disclaimer saying that you need to be paying attention at all times.
It seems highly unlikely that Tesla is close to fully autonomous driving. The “Paint it Black” demo was over 4 years ago and we haven’t seen anything better since then. We were supposed to get an autonomous road trip from LA to NY by 2017. The videos that have come out of the FSD beta release make it clear that you couldn’t leave the car without intervention for 30 minutes without a major crash occurring.
Tesla doesn’t even have any autonomous miles to log in California, unlike dozens of other companies including GM and Waymo.

Not so much.
