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

Intentionally breaking laws sounds like something that should be prosecuted.

[-] innermachine@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

It will always fall on the driver of the vehicle, as it should. I don't care how self driving your car is, it has a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, and a brake pedal and in the driver seat YOU are responsible with how you operate your vehicle. If u decide to trust a self driving feature that's YOUR mistake. I would love to blame all these crashes on Tesla but the reality is that all these drivers aids and self driving cars having accidents is proof that you should be the one in control of your own vehicle. No crying about how the automotive nannies didn't stop you from crashing the vehicle your driving, take responsibility. Don't like it? Don't trust the "self driving" nonsense (read: glorified advanced cruise control). Now one thing I don't agree with is advertising as self driving, and I strongly believe self driving vehicles in public roadways should be ILLEGAL!

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Except the problem here is Tesla is lying about a product to encourage people to use it illegally and unsafely. At some point there's extra deaths to blame solely on tesla's lies.

[-] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago

Can you point to one of those lies? Because every time I push the FSD button it says 'keep hands on the wheel be prepared to take over at any time' right there on the screen.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Full Self Driving, the name of the feature is literally a lie. Its used all over in the marketing for the vehicle. Most car companies call comparable features "driving assistance" or "lane control" etc.

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.

[-] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 35 points 6 days ago

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.

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.

Somebody needs to be responsible, otherwise ban self driving until someone figures it out. Impound the vehicle if need be.

Adaptive cruise control is good enough for most people and has been a proven technology for 20+ years. FSD is just downright dangerous.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

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.

Since it seems to be unsafe at any speed, why not.

He's been real quiet lately. No more talks of release the list or the America Party. Did his K plug go on vacation?

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.

[-] architect@thelemmy.club 7 points 4 days ago

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.

states just need to ban teslas from public road

[-] TomMasz@lemmy.world 94 points 6 days ago

Just because Elon is above the law doesn’t mean you are, even if you’re in a Tesla. Good luck.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 75 points 6 days ago

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.

Edit: lol at the downvotes. It's just a gag about the lack of punctuation on a comment that I otherwise agree with.

which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes

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.

[-] dogs0n@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago

protect occupants

It doesn't even do that. You crash a tesla and start a fire, it will glady lock you in the car.

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.

[-] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 27 points 6 days ago

Or... you could just drive yourself.
