Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

GM was an early alternative choice, but I don't have much but anecdotal evidence that they're good. I'm looking at a Hyundai, electric Silverado, or Rivian to replace my 10yo pickup sometime in the next 2-5 years.
Of all the ones I've test driven, none of them meet or exceed Tesla's "Supervised FSD", but that's a non starter because fuck that guy.
There's a reason for that. The FSD is what's killing people. It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's not mature yet.
It’s also that Tesla is attempting to do it all without radar or LiDAR scanners, I think now only using cameras. The company that used to develop their systems even dropped Tesla because it didn’t agree with this approach.
An ironic twist is that the company that was developing it said they didn’t want it referred to as autopilot, and they were also Israeli, which would have added another reason to boycott for many.
That’s also making it impossible for me to find their name at the moment because both Tesla and Israel have done so much stupid shit in the last few years it’s drowning out the older news items.
You gotta use news archive searches at that point.
As little as I want to defend Tesla, and I'm not. People get way more worked up when a computer kills someone versus a distracted driver.
Yeah but computers are supposed to reduce fatalities. Instead Tesla has the highest fatalities.
It might as well be an infinitely complex question to me. Do Tesla drivers have poor motor skills because they're dumb? Do motor skills even have a correlation with general intelligence? Or does it skew this way because people who have more money (age) have poor motor skills?
I don't know I'm definitely not a statistician.
You'd have to prove there was something different about the drivers. We've got evidence of a defect in the cars.
