They shouldn’t be able to capture politicians the way they have, that’s a failure of the supreme court, which was also captured.

Again, probably inevitable as you say, but that was in theory the last chance to stop it.

Woohoo!

Really the only thing on my Tesla I ever need to access on the touchscreen while driving is the climate controls (assuming I don’t want to use voice, which is a pain as it hears you wrong)

The other used to be fog lights, but I just keep those on now for extra visibility, like another day time running light.

Everything else including wipers I can do from the wheel now without having to touch the screen.

I only use voice to choose a new song/artist, I’m not trying to navigate spotify by hand while driving.

I’d love to get a fitness band, but fuck all the subscriptions to access all their features.

They also didn’t do it as well as Tesla which gave even more reason to dislike it.

I don’t think autonomous driving had anything to do with the initial choice. It might be a reason now, but I don’t think it was the initial driving factor.

You left off it being marketed as clean and minimalistic. I think that’s different enough from futuristic. Some people love that aspect, some outright hate it. (Edit and I mean this in a looks fashion, not a functionality one)

They probably don’t want to use the necessary processor to do it because it costs more so you end up with laggy interfaces instead.

I can’t imagine that they’re using a powerful enough processor, and their code is just so bad that its slow.

It’s clearly doable, Tesla has a snappy smooth interface. It still struggles a bit on pre ryzen cars with the web browser or video players like Netflix, but the actual car interface for car things runs fine and has for a very long time now.

but may need to be reloaded by repair shop.

That seems worth the cost if it can save a life or reduce the damage done to one.

Thanks =) Makes me wonder how fast you could adjust the air suspension if needed. I assume that the speed it goes up/down is probably related to comfort and durability, but how fast could they change it in an emergency situation? Maybe it’s not fast enough? But maybe we could alter air suspensions in the future to have some sort of emergency drop capability that would be faster.

I mean, the CyberTruck is much lower than those pick up trucks, and also has a slanted hood.

The truck could also pop the hood like the model 3 (edit highland, this is new feature) does to add a cushion zone for them, but it’s probably still too high to be as effective on a car?

I mentioned this before, but I’m really curious if any vehicle with an air suspension could drop the car lower before the pedestrian is hit. Just like they pop the hood on the 3, could it go lower it if there’s an imminent crash? Is there a way to go even lower than the lowest setting in emergencies? Seems like a good safety feature to add if not.

I’m still worried about the edge causing damage though even considering all the above, and it is still higher than a regular car.

Edit: Also if they raised the back suspension before an accident would that make for a better or worse hitting angle?

He didn’t hold it hostage.

He didn’t turn it off, it was never on. He didn’t intervene in an attack, he just did nothing.

It’s even questionable if he can legally allow Ukraine to drop one on a boat and use it as a weapon, and it was against the terms of use.

The DoD failed to sign an agreement with SpaceX which left them in that awkward position. The DoD has now done so and it’s a non issue now. The DoD is the one allowing all these combat uses now as it should have been from day 1

I have yet to hear about any medical exemptions, this was the first which was then discarded.

This rejection will have a chilling affect on the willingness of others to try for an exemption as well.

That image for this post sure looks like a death panel to me

Let me finish you off. Potato, potato

Probably true, but it wasn’t the best choice of example to use above against him.

Edit: misread comment about CEOs gender, you were referring to Elon so I removed the correction.

He did step down… he hired a CEO to run day to day.

He was going to do it either way though

You could only enable the lowering in pedestrian heavy areas (city) assuming they legit can’t tell a moose apart.

You aren’t going to find many moose in downtown NYC ;)

Again, nothing to do with shape, this would be a good feature for any air suspension vehicle that can detect a pedestrian.

Edit: And I’m not sure we need to worry as much about city deer, they are small enough.

Edit: Also if they CAN detect a moose, they should do the opposite and raise the front.

Any car with AEB has this capability which is a lot of cars ya.

I don’t know how fast they can lower the vehicle though? There isn’t a lot of time between when AEB kicks off to slow you down and the accident.

Tesla seem confident it’ll be safer in part because of that.

I’m wondering if they’ve done some something that can lower the front further if an imminent crash is about to happen with a pedestrian to lower the nose even more. Maybe it won’t work if you’re already at lowest setting, but if you’re raised at all maybe.

You think they’d have advertised a feature like that though by now, so maybe not, but I bet they could.

Would be a good feature for any vehicle with air suspension that can detect an imminent crash with a pedestrian
