    I don’t really give a fuck what the terminology is to be frank. The technology leads to unsafe behavior, whether it’s FSD or autopilot.

      I get it words don’t matter. Feelings are what’s important.

      The autopilot on my Tesla is much better than the same technology on my Audi. Both technologies are easy to abuse. That isn’t Tesla’s fault. People need to follow the instructions.

      Now there are a few cases where the technology completely failed when used correctly and that’s 100% Tesla’s fault in my opinion.

      Are you arguing that it’s the people’s fault? Or are you just rambling because it’s Elon.

      Or are you just arguing for god know what’s reason?

        I’m saying the technology leads to more harm than good in its current implementation. I don’t care it’s better than your Audi, it still sucks overall. “Used correctly” shouldn’t be a huge factor in a good design. It should be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly. This is not the current state. It’s very easy to use incorrectly, as you admit, and the accidents demonstrate this.

          In what way?

          It should be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly.

          The vehicle prompts you to keep your hands on the wheel and be ready to take over at any moment every time you enable FSD. Everyone using it incorrectly is doing so knowingly.

          For the Tesla it’s very easy to use correctly.

          Compared to our old cruise control it’s a much better system.

          Nothing can stop people from being idiots. Most of the accidents are people being idiots.

          I have seen a few where 100% it was a Tesla failure and Tesla should be held 100% accountable for those.

            Not supported by the evidence, but sure, keep relying on your feelings and telling other people it’s their problem. Projection.

              It’s clearly supported by the evidence. It’s cruise control. How complicated do you think cruise control is? You put your hands on the wheel and it maintains speed.

            This is the stupidity I hate most about Tesla shills.

            Great engineers make genius innovations all the time to keep idiots from harming themselves or others. Those innovations saturate our society and industries at all levels. Good engineering should be trying to do it more.

            Tesla just doesn’t care, or is even complicit in giving the idiots just enough freedom so people can think Tesla is ahead of the competition. The only difference from Tesla is that other car manufacturers don’t give idiots that freedom.

              This is why I hate most about people obsessed with Elon. They can’t have discussions. It’s all weird illogical wants over Elon.

              No. When cruise control first came out. It’d drive you right into another car. Auto pilot is just a fancy cruise control.

              You can take a normal car and drive it into a wall. Tesla is no different. Using your logic a normal car shouldn’t be able to do that.

                When did I refer to Musk? You must be sensitive.

                Yes, when cruise control came out over 100 years ago, there were very little controls. Responsible car makers have changes that. Some even recently aimed for zero fatalities for people using their cars and the associated technologies.

                And there are many cars that keep you from driving into a wall. Maybe, at this point, you can’t keep 100 percent of the idiots from doing something stupid, but responsible car makers do much, much better than Tesla, who actually promotes and markets the actions of idiots abusing the systems in their cars.

                  The responsible car makers showing drivers performing stunts well beyond the ability or legality of most drivers?

                  You’ve got some kind of chip on your shoulder man. It’s a car company, who cares.

                    You think giving me Tesla marketing BS, published by a proxy Tesla marketing rag, is going to convince me? If it is anything else like Tesla’s marketing department, they just pulled something out of their ass, Musk saw the numbers and told them to fudge it some more, and then they put it up on their website dressed in fancy graphs and tech-speak. That’s why you’ll never find any actual data that third-party researchers can verify it with.

                    You have this article that looked at a four-month period. During that time, Tesla was responsible for every 10 of 11 deaths related to automated driving features. This report states that Tesla has the most accidents of any brand.

                    Tesla’s create horrible driving habits in their customers. On the one hand, you have the CEO that creates a culture to disregard for safety and rules, praising users that openly go against the terms of use, as long as they show it doing something cool. On the other hand, you have a system that is just good enough to lull you into a sense of safety and confidence in the system itself. Then one day it decides to kill a motorcyclist, a kid getting off the bus, or a paramedic working on the side of the road. The driver that maybe praised Tesla to their friends and colleagues about how amazing it was is now dumbstruck because the car acted so unexpectedly.

                    Tesla is just as much as fault as the driver for that situation.

                    Dude, I was literally in another thread where someone posted a video talking about how many deaths FSD caused (17) and extrapolating those numbers by how many FSD miles were driven lead to fsd being 11x more dangerous than a humans driver.

                    It had all sorts of upvotes.

                    Except, those accidents were on AP which has multiple billions of miles driven, not FSD. The NHSTA has only said there was 1 fsd related death. Related, as in, not confirmed to be the cause of.

                    They don’t even know what they’re mad about. And i get downvoted for showing the major flaw in their post.

                    I bet they’ve never used, or had to acknowledge the warnings prior to using AP. Let alone the even more dire warning FSD gives (or gave prior to v12 anyway, not sure what today’s warnings are)
