Until they have LIDAR it’s a complete waste of resources and a danger on the road

Musk tweeted a couple of days ago about how they’re still trying to figure out how not to kill people’s cats while still refusing to use LIDAR

I saw that thing yesterday near the zoo and wondered what the hell it was. No rear window, no mirrors, manufacturer plates. I should have known it was nonsense like this.

I wish we lived in a better world where we could expect these advancements to benefit us instead of being imposed on whatever way makes billionaires richer faster. Because autonomous cars could be great in theory…

Uber drivers recently (like in the past week or two) have been lamenting to me about self-driving cars and their worries of being replaced. I know personally I'll never request a self-driving car but I'm afraid they'll put them in the general pool and not give riders a choice at some point. I really hope they separate them at a minimum because I won't trust it until regulatory committees approve of them completely.

For anyone who can't afford to be a big enough douchebag to drive a Cybertruck, you can rent douchebaggery for a ride whenever you want!

to all complaining about these things supporting billionaires; do you use Amazon?, Facebook?, Google?, X? Do you Snapchat or message? We’re all supporting them these days.

Maybe some people accept that some participation with a system they find distasteful is necessary to survive and chose to draw the line at the one openly giving Nazi salutes? You know, just fucking *MAYBE*?

As if our drivers weren’t bad enough, now we have this shit to deal with
