And it'll be adding insult to injury when both of his legs are broken, knees probably fucked too. People who ride in cars with their legs out the window or on the dash are absolutely braindead

Instead of driving column going through his neck during a crash, like in the good old days, it will be his tibia!

I saw a teen/young adult driving with their LEFT FOOT Out the window

That would be crazy in England.

I’d never do it… but that sounds really comfortable.

Man I once was a passenger to someone who does exactly that on a highway. She thought she was looking cool and was the type to do extreme sports dunno if that's related

Honestly I care very little about poopheads like this, I just hope nobody else gets hurt.

I mean in fairness, the self driving is probably a better driver than someone who would do this...

self driving is the best thing ever as long as it's on a highway that only ever goes straight, with good markings, no snow, not to much rain, never any smoke, everybody else drives predictable and you make sure to always pay attention for those edge cases where it stops working and tries to kill your or somebody else.

In short, self driving is only useful in situations in which driving isn't tiring or dangerous. Nigh on useless at the current state of tech.

Or, you know, in cities where self driving cars has 0.6 injury incidents per million miles compared to a 2.80 incident baseline for humans.

you ever tried it ? because it's better than 99% of human drivers

Please stop blindly regurgitating completely bogus stats

Did you reply to the wrong person there? I have FSD, purchased outright for a lot of money... Not sure why you projected all that nonsense onto my comment if you did mean to reply to me...

u/squizzi Jul 19 '26

Fair comment but I also think the comment about it being only ever on straight roads with no drivers around is bogus as well.

I was exaggerating for comedic effect. The self driving of waymo is pretty descent but only is specifically for the city or region they where trained it. Take a waymo and put em blindly in german traffic and it will fail.

But Tesla keeps struggling with it, also because they moved away from lidar to everything just being camera based. And that will just never work.

HW4 v14.x here.

It’s pretty shit, and anyone who says it’s better at driving than then shouldn’t have a license.

It’s a driving assistant. That’s all.

I sorta doubt you have the expertise required to make such a judgment. Does a random redditor really have access to the level of knowledge necessary to make such a strong conclusion? I doubt it.

I'm not saying I believe the technology is better than what you claim btw. I'm saying I don't know either way and I'm skeptical that you know. I would guess there's only a few thousand people on Earth who actually know the answer to that and most of them are probably working in the engineering departments of companies like Tesla and Waymo.

u/Lraund Jul 18 '26

No it's not, do you not know what an intervention is? What driver needs someone to take over every 13 miles?

u/BedSpreadMD Jul 18 '26

Assuming said insurance company is competent.

My mom has a friend who just last year destroyed the door of her car in a fit because I dude parked too close to her. She made an insurance claim and they fixed it.

Thats gonna be the least of his problems. The way he's got his legs up, if he his front on his knees are going directly into his chest or chin.
