       My Tesla Full Self Driving (Supervised) video goes live this Friday and while it's impressive, I did capture it making some mistakes. In this instance, the car indicated right while going left through a roundabout. I'm expecting the video to have many... 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 comments. Please be civil, folks. 😅

       @KiwiEV IBM had this figured out a half century ago. The whole self-driving hopium is an insurance and litigation hot mess just waiting for a few high-profile prangs. Unless our govt is willing to hold car companies 100% liable for any mistakes their cars make, the public will wear this and I am not on board.[NB: I speak from experience, having hired a Model Y a couple of years ago. In spite of not having anything close to FSD, that freaking car tried to maim/kill me and my passengers -- not once but twice -- by grabbing the wheel and performing sudden evasive action for completely unremarkable features of the road and other vehicles.]

       @phil_stevens @KiwiEV yep, agree 💯 - and companies like Tesla do not have the social credit to carry this. They're already without honour thanks to their illustrious CEO's pervasive shitfuckery.

       @lightweight @KiwiEV FSD is just a play by a ketamine-addled shitwit to boost his company's flailing share prices. He spent so many years promising it that he had to ship even though it's riddled with bugs.I seriously think there needs to be massive public pushback. I do not consent to sharing the roads with flawed agents that can't be tried and convicted (and removed from behind the wheel) if they cause harm.

       @phil_stevens @KiwiEV Yeah, they've voluntarily tied a couple hands behind their backs by insisting on 'vision-only' systems, to keep costs down. Why not make even better sensors cheaper instead?
