I have no confidence that Tesla will fix this before the planned Robo-Taxi rollout in Austin in 2 weeks.

After all, they haven’t fixed it in the last 9 years that self-driving Teslas have been on the road.

      Fight Club taught me the cost of human life to corporations.

      If PredictedLawsuitLosses < CostOfRecall then RecallNotAnnounced

      Human life doesn’t factor in at all for them.

        Human life absolutely factors into predicted lawsuit losses. Wrongful death lawsuits are expensive.

          What I meant is they don’t care about people as people.

          It’s just a number to them.

          If they can profit of millions dying and they know they could get away with it, they would.

          But not expensive enough to stop them killing people through negligence and greed.

      This is why capitalists align with fascists.

      Google, Meta, etc, are all taking the knee, because no regulation lets them slurp up our data. Target is shooting itself in the foot on DEI to appease stupid Mussolini, because a fascist autocrat doesn’t enforce labor protections.

        Fascism, at its core, is an alignment between government and corporations. Capitalists align with fascism because that’s the entire point of fascism.

        I lived there for six-ish years- from 1998 until 2004.

        When Americans re-elected GWB, I realized “this place is RAPIDLY becoming a shithole that’s only going to get worse.” I got the hell out as soon as I was able, and every single day since, I’ve been more relieved I left when I did.

        The problem is, it’s already better than the worst human drivers, it’s just that that’s too low a bar. It’s a looong way away from being better than the best human drivers (think taxi and bus drivers who do it every day, or police who actually go through extra vehicle handling training)

          I would generally agree with that statement but it seems the spirit of this thread is solidly in opposition. It would be make/model dependent, and Tesla has demonstrated their lack of safety.

            I’m specially talking about Tesla’s FSD/Autopilot.
            While getting a demo of FSD from a friend, their Model 3 correctly stopped at a red light, and 30 seconds later a car ran right through it in the next lane over. That’s how low the bar is for “worst human driver”. Tbh, that human shouldn’t have been on the road if they’re driving past stopped cars through a red light.

              I would asset your anecdote is definitely not proof positive of Tesla FSD being better than humans statistically, but it’s true that most public sentiment is inaccurate in assessing their FSD as either flawless or a murder-suicide mobile.

              I’ve been behind the wheel when FSD was going to run a red light for me, twice in the same trip. It does perform impressively well most of the time, and if I could wave a magic wand, I’d put Tesla software in a more reputable brand’s car with LIDAR. Musk is a moron for going cameras only (and about fifty other things).
