Just leaving this fun video of a Tesla and a picture of a road here:

Yeah, turning seems kinda important for a car.
Unsafe At Any Speed, redux.
“the report called out Tesla as an “industry outlier” because its driver assistance features lacked some of the basic precautions taken by its competitors. ”
“Tesla Autopilot Was Uniquely Risky—and May Still Be”

#Tesla apparently switched on (not just offered—*switched on*) #FSD #FullSelfDriving on all cars this month, apparently to goose their numbers.
“I’ve rarely been so frightened behind the wheel of my own car. As an experience it ranks right up there with driving that one stretch of the 880 where you’re supposed to go at 45mph and everybody drives twice that, the time I was riding in a Lyft and was jackknifed by a tow truck, or that one time I was driving on the 101 North and a tech bro Lamborghini shot out of the Highway 12 offramp and came within two inches of hitting me, spun around in the road, and careened off into the distance.”
“So would I pay the money for it? Fear on this level seems like a pretty poor use of $12,000 or $199 a month. You can rent a horror movie for $2.99, and paying attention to America is free.”

Nur "unter Aufsicht": Tesla ändert Bezeichnung für Fahrassistenten FSD
Seit Jahren wird der Name für Teslas Fahrassistenten kritisiert, weil er zu viel Autonomie suggeriere. Nun bekommt er einen Zusatz und wird regelrecht konfus.
Rossiter, who survived the crash, told emergency responders that von Ohain was using an “#AutoDrive feature on the Tesla” that “just ran straight off the road,” acc/to a 911 dispatch recording…. In a recent interview, Rossiter said he believes that von Ohain was using #FullSelfDriving, which — if true — would make his death the first known fatality involving #Tesla’s most advanced driver-assistance #technology.
“The first time it happened, I was like, ‘Is that normal?’” recalled Rossiter, who described the 5-mile drive on the outskirts of Denver as “uncomfortable.” “And he was like, ‘Yeah, that happens every now & then.’”
Hours later, on the way home, the #Tesla Model 3 barreled into a tree & exploded in flames, killing von Ohain, a Tesla employee & devoted fan of CEO #ElonMusk.
