Telsa has precisely zero fully self driving autonomous miles on record. Not even their robotaxis have driven anywhere without a driver, and even in that time they have had many issues.

The fundamental issue with Muskworship is that you can't see the forest through the trees. The point is not that we can't eventually get cars to drive like humans using just vision alone, that is an engineering certainty. The point is that THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR GOAL. Human drivers fucking suuuuuuck.

As it stands Tesla has the *worst* performing driver assistance systems in torrential rain and heavy fog, situations where LIDAR and RADAR has no problem with. It never ceases to amaze me that people hold up Musk's vision while neglecting to see that he has set the bar for his tech stupidly low. Don't believe me? Ask Naibel Benavides Leon, but you'll need to ask him about his experience with FSD using a Ouija board.

In the meantime some of Tesla's competitors are using LIDAR centrally in their platforms, have millions of self driving miles on record and have a body count of zero.

Luminar's primary customer was Volvo and they had an incredibly (LIDAR unrelated) disaster of a launch of their LIDAR included vehicles. They are a victim of another company's fuckup.

Well almost. The idiots in Sweden would have been right, it's just their engineering was rushed and the QA was completely absent. The actual SPA2 platform and its idea was quite sound, and by all accounts should have been glorious.

I bet you the release date of the car was decided by someone with an accounting degree.

The same Elon whose cars utterly underperform in safety tests compared to their peers during fog, heavy rain, or sunlight glare?

$TSLA has been devoid of any reality for a long time. Their share price at this point is meaningless noise.

Why wouldn't they be in business? Postulate an alternative for us, and make a business case, then sell it to people. When you fail to do what high paid consultants have also failed to do, you'll understand why they are in business.

Clearly the world cares about something else than insecure cyphers.

The first day speed limits are introduced or changed there are also people who speed. What's your point? There's literally zero laws that are 100% effective. Murder still happens, fraud still happens, and if tomorrow it becomes illegal to say mindblowingly stupid stuff on the internet, you will none the less still be here.

The law is a success by your own measure: *some* kids are using social media, down from "all".

I'm just giving you advice. If your answer to "you look like a douchebag hypocrite" is "I've always been a douchebag hypocrite" just remember that others won't take you seriously. I certainly don't.

That's the joke. The EU has rules about handling people's money, PayPal is a registered bank in Luxembourg which is why www.paypalsucks.com had stories almost exclusively American based, because things like arbitrarily freezing customer's financial accounts is likely to get the regulator to shove their foot up your arse in Europe.

So you weren't keeping up. Got it.

So those are medium sized dogs. Still don't see how you would fit them in a car with a weeks groceries for two people and the occasional large box and still have room for them to lie down. Recently we bought a small chest freezer and there wasn't even enough room in my SUV for that and the dogs, we had to leave them at home.

You are only saying my needs are not viable because they aren't your needs.

Nonsense! I'm sure there will be lots of pretty blondes with big knockers.

They would surely lose in a fair and just world, but this is the Trump administration we are talking about. Where Canada is a national threat.

Except the models are the best explanation we have as to why 3 started at exactly the same time as the industrial Revolution. No one who believes otherwise has been able to explain it in another way.

I was once trying to explain to a fellow Slashdotter that even if the precipitation and temperature patterns change to grow tropical plants further north that the soil still won't support it for many years of small plants decaying and building up to grow big plants. They insisted that we could 'treat the soil' so that it would support the big plants immediately.

Musk even admitted that it was true.
