you, too, can die at the hands of AI and become forever enshrined as algorithmic data to help improve Tesla’s subscription services sales to the very wealthy and hostile
Yep. This is inevitable. Whenever we get to the point where consumers are controlling the aggression of the self driving, which will happen no matter laws are past.
Ultimately it’s all just code on hardware.
Tesla is definitely doing their fuck around, still waiting to find out on this one. Eventually that liability will catch up with them. The question is months, years, or decades.
Since it seems to be unsafe at any speed, why not.
Because now it can hurt others going even faster
The less time you’re at the cars mercy…
Because there are levels of unsafe and this is more unsafe
I mean, yeah. True. But to push back a little, driving at the actual speed of traffic is often safer than driving the official speed limit.
The real world and written law don’t always line up, the speed limit is one of those areas.
Certainly, especially when it comes to things like MERGING which is an arcane art to some.
When a self driving car breaks the law, the CEO should get the demerit points on their own licence, and if they lose their licence, the cars can’t drive anymore.
That would be funny but better yet, the entire line of cars gets the feature deleted from them and customers are reimbursed the entire value of the car plus interest in exchange for having risked their lives testing an unstable and dangerous vehicle.
bail out the idiots that bought cybertrucks?
eehhhh…
This hurts Tesla more
The second one of these cars cause a fatal collision due to wanton disregard of the law on part of the CEO, he should be held criminally liable.
That has already happened…like a handful of times at least.
Tesla drivers have the highest accident rates. There’s already thousands of civil lawsuits. They should have prosecuted him years ago.
Somebody needs to be responsible, otherwise ban self driving until someone figures it out. Impound the vehicle if need be.
What? You can’t just demand accountability from AI bros, that would destroy their whole business model.
They shouldn’t even be able to market it as self driving if they don’t insure the self driving mode itself.
Man, holding the company financially accountable for all traffic violations would be magnificent.
It’s a shame we’re too stupid/weak to pull it off.
CEOs like you’re talking about, they dont drive.
the only time they’ll step behind the wheel of a car is for a pleasure cruise in some multi million dollar supercar on a track, or a closed / private road.
So what? Them driving is not relevant to this at all. The idea is that the cars they sell become illegal.
Just because Elon is above the law doesn’t mean you are, even if you’re in a Tesla. Good luck.
Even if you’re just minding your business when a sleeping pilled-out middle manager from Subway corporate plows into your 98 Corolla in their Tesla at 100 mph leaving your family without a father and source of income because a billionaire nazi who’s constantly off his nut on ketamine decided rules are stupid and don’t apply to him and the entire societal structure designed to prevent this from happening has been hollowed out by incompetent bigots who absolutely rate high on the sociopath scale because nazi media has ensnared 51% of the population and now you dead.
I agree with you but may I offer you a comma in these trying times?
They’re optional
Take a breath, dude.
Edit: lol at the downvotes. It’s just a gag about the lack of punctuation on a comment that I otherwise agree with.
They’re correct, though.
Yes.
And now you dead.
can it be my old shitty 94 ford tempo instead i really hated that car
I’m not sure what this system does, but my non-Tesla car can adjust its intelligent cruise control by speed limit signs it sees, and you can tell it to have a buffer. Mine is set for +5, so if the sign says 45 miles per hour, the car drives itself at 50 mph.
If it’s something like that, which you set yourself, it’s probably fine. Just know what the police in your area enforce. Where I live you can generally go five over without an issue, ten over on the freeways. Everyone does this, so if you go the speed limit you end up annoying everyone.
If it didn’t, it would be pretty damn annoying as cars always show higher than actual speed. I’ve had to set our BMW to do +8km/h so that it actually does 120km/h on GPS and not 112.
as cars always show higher than actual speed
Although that is true, your car is quite extreme in that regard. In Germany cars are not allowed to deviate by more than 3kph at speeds below 100, and 3% at speeds above 100. I doubt BMW uses different speedometer for cars sold in foreign countries so I’m pretty sure there is something wrong with yours. Maybe you installed smaller diameter tires than from factory?
Hmmh, could be, though both are “from the factory”, the winter/summer tires are slightly different sizes. But the allowed error in the EU overall (or at lesst in Finland) is 10% +4km/h, so it’s still well withing “spec”.
Are your tires fully inflated?
This is kinda dumb. So they have to adjust speed limits below safe levels so you don’t get over it?
I’ve driven by a few radar speed indicators in my car, and I’m consistently going 4 km/h less than what my digital speedometer says, regardless of speed. I find it difficult to believe this is an accident. So if I had your vehicle and it behaved like my speedometer does, I would still only be +1 over the limit. Also, I now drive with my speedometer +5 to +9 relative to the speed limit, which keeps me more in line with the traffic around me.
the cow catcher i put on front? with all those “decorative” bones and limbs in it? why yes it’s purely cosmetic and is not at all indicative of my premeditated intention to FSD through a crowd.
slips the cop a hundred, or five
“enjoy your trip, carry on”
which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes
Go kiss a concrete pillar, ya duds
Why do we continue to allow this company to exist and break the law?
Corruption
Money
By these powers combined…
Texas
They finally did it. They automated crime 👍
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.
This is good enough imo!
what type of car? my outback isn’t bad but it’s not quite that good, especially if there’s a stiff breeze
Cadillac CT5
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.
The idea of infrared pupil trackers is terrifying.
Imagine the tracking potential for insurance companies, law enforcement, etc…
I know this is offtopic, just the first thought that comes to my mind :(
yeah that’s definitely going to be a bit higher spec than my Wilderness lmao. The Outback will maintain lane and do centering but does not like even moderate turns, roads with questionable paint, or gusty conditions. It’s great for highway use and it definitely won’t pass other cars for me, but it will take me pretty far off the beaten path as long as I’m not trying to follow a jeep. Hell yeah, sounds like we’ve both got solid cars that fit our needs.
Googley eye napping.

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.
I can promise you he doesn’t even think about that.
He’s busy with his little Internet cult right now and I’m assuming some other malicious bullshit to fuck us with.
He didnt buy ihs gold plated visa?
Maybe while he was doing the DOGE thing he changed his status.
I drive a Tesla. I live in Connecticut, speed limits are set very low and are ignored by just about everybody Including police, as long as you’re not driving recklessly.
The problem with the latest FSD versions is they take precise speed control out of the driver’s hands. In previous versions, you could manually set a maximum speed. Now you cannot, you only pick one of these driving profiles.
So for example if I’m driving on a 55 mph highway, and all the other cars are doing 75 mph, I have to pick the ‘Hurry’ profile which also hangs out in the left lane and makes a lot of lane changes and faster acceleration/braking. I would much rather drive standard style but with higher speed, but that isn’t an option.
Or… you could just drive yourself.
I drive a tesla
Self own, tbh.
I got a tesla and I don’t fucking trust that shit to not slam me in to a barrier
Spyware on wheels won’t let me break the law
You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. I’m not saying this as an insult, I am simply stating a fact that you are completely and totally mistaken.
You are driving a nazi car.
Do you live in an alternate reality where Tesla employees didn’t get caught sharing camera footage from inside peoples garages and stuff just because they thought it was funny?
That was a very early version of their system, once that happened they put strong controls in place for the storage of video and it’s now very easy to control what if any video and audio the car reports back to Tesla.
And when, ever in its history, has Tesla given you a reason to believe they aren’t just outright lying?
Every time my car gets an update and FSD gets better. Every time I get in my car and hit the FSD button.
Serious question- have you ever driven a Tesla? And if so for how long?
Yea it was fine but the driver assist wasn’t any better than my Honda and the turn signals were awful. I drove it for a few hours.
There are easier ways to get yourself killed and they don’t also put families in harm’s way
FSD does not mean push the button and take a nap. I am still attentive to the road while it is in use. I believe it actually makes me a safer driver, because I can focus more attention on maintaining overall situational awareness of the world around the car, without needing to focus on the task of staying in lane and maintaining the correct speed.
I drive a Tesla.
You got scammed, buddy. Great job.
Funny, I don’t feel scammed.
Drives better than any car I’ve owned previously. The ‘fuel’ cost is less than 1/2 of an equivalent gas car- and that’s if I’m using peak hour Superchargers. The maintenance is significantly less- no oil changes, timing belts, etc, just rotate tires and change cabin air filters. And the car drives itself when I want it to.
So if by ‘getting scammed’ you mean ‘have a car that costs way less to operate, is far more reliable, has more safety features, has more functionality, has a gas pump in my garage, and I can preheat it in my garage without dying of CO poisoning’ then yeah absolutely I’ve gotten scammed and I’d love to be scammed like this more frequently :D
Remember when Elon said how self driving would make roads safer?
I do remember when musky boy said lies. Many, many lies…
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.
protect occupants
It doesn’t even do that. You crash a tesla and start a fire, it will glady lock you in the car.
Can’t have too many witnesses after all.
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.
Despite all these “safety features” accidents are far more common now than 20 years ago. “Driver aids” do nothing but encourage bad behaviour, better off just PAYING ATTENTION to the 2 ton steel cage your throwing down a concrete cheese grater at 60+mph…
Eh I have a hard time believing anything made or done in the last 20ish years was done for anything other than money.
And all the innocent people that get splattered in the process will just be chimps shot into space
I don’t agree with the notion that chimps are less life-worthy than humans.
I don’t agree with the notion either.
Tesla agrees, and all the federal/state/local officials that turn a blind eye to public roads being used as a testing ground for very flawed software.
Yes, that is the point I was making in my original statement
states just need to ban teslas from public road
Next will be teslas without airbags. Because why not.
TBF, if they’re going to lock you in a burning car unable to exit, killing you with the dashboard or sterring column would be a mercy killing compared to burning to death inside.
replace the airbag with a letal injection perhaps?
