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.
can it be my old shitty 94 ford tempo instead i really hated that car
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”
Why do we continue to allow this company to exist and break the law?
Money
By these powers combined…
Corruption
Texas
which comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes
Go kiss a concrete pillar, ya duds
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!
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.
He didnt buy ihs gold plated visa?
Maybe while he was doing the DOGE thing he changed his status.
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.
“that breaks speed limits” can be ok.
I have seen a number of US interstates posted at 55mph, when traffic moves at 70-80mph. Being stuck at 55mph on those interstates is dangerous.
I hear this argument a lot and I’m not disagreeing per se. But we should be clear. It can be dangerous for 1 out of 10 cars to be driving 55 instead of 75. But it would be safer by far if all 10 cars drove 55.
It can depend on your locale. I live in a country where outside of highways, posted speed limits are a joke. The cops would probably honk you if you were going the posted limit on a non highway road.
They’re at that level for a reason. The problem is that most people are ignorant or give little consideration to human life.
Thank you for explaining my country’s specific traffic situation to me.
it’s not just a matter of safety, efficiency also plummets above 55mph for very little benefit.
Solid context that I hadn’t considered. Thanks.
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…
Do you ever return and read your posts back?
That’s a great question!
I do indeed read my posts back—how else would I proofread them? 🤖
Next will be teslas without airbags. Because why not.
So there’s finally a “New Jersey” mode.
80 on 80 or gtfo
Amen to that.
Intentionally breaking laws sounds like something that should be prosecuted.
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!
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.
“Hurry mode” lol. I’m pretty sure every driving instruction manual ever made says something like “don’t drive like you’re in a hurry.”
This is the guy who decided traffic rules are dumb.
Dude can we get so much as a copyright violation from Warner Bros on this shit?
FSD is a mess. But this is how normal people drive. 15mph isnt all that much on a lot of roads. Traffic is normally 15 over 🤷♂️.
No it isn’t. No normal person drives 30 kilometers over the speed limit. You don’t go into a school zone doing 40 mi/h.
Yes it is. Going straight to an edge case is a rather strong indicator that you know it is.
Edit: here you go 80 in a 55. Notice everyone going the same speed or faster. https://imgur.com/a/ORkUEHh
Firstly, that clip shows nothing about the driver’s current speed, only that everyone is driving the same speed.
You cannot do 140 km/h down the interstate, just as you do not do 100 km/h down a residential street or a main road. That’s a pretty notable difference. No-one does that.
An extra 15 miles an hour is a pretty significant difference basically everywhere, unless you’re on the Autobahn or something.
👌👍 nobody drives 15mph over.
This article is hysterical, I can’t believe its not an onion article.
I’ll play the Devil’s Advocate. 15MPH over isn’t bad and is often necessary. Sometimes you have to get away from another vehicle or overtake on a 2-lane highway.
For any Europeans horrified by that statement, our roads were designed for cars from the very start.
