wonder what the over/under is on when there will be a robotaxi-involved accident. july 30?

i have no idea how long they're conducting this test but even that video had enough "uhhhHHHHhhhhh" moments that there's no way these things don't just fart and die at some point


also lmao that there's a guy in the passenger seat with no power over the vehicle other than "pull over", "stop", and "help". sure hope that touch ui is responsive

haha lmao what lawyer signed the motion claiming that elon musk does not use a computer? was it alex spiro? sanction him

i remember when elon musk had them remove the name of the twitter client from the display of twitter posts on the web. obviously that was just a display thing and they're still collecting that info, and it would be very funny if OpenAI responded by subpoenaing that metadata for musk's tweets

quote:

Tesla was contacted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Monday after videos posted on social media showed the company’s robotaxis driving in a chaotic manner on public roads in Austin, Texas...

In the videos shared widely online, one Tesla robotaxi was spotted traveling the wrong way down a road, and another was shown braking hard in the middle of traffic, responding to “stationary police vehicles outside its driving path,” among several other examples.

A spokesperson for NHTSA said in an email that the agency “is aware of the referenced incidents and is in contact with the manufacturer to gather additional information.”

quote:

A Michigan judge has kicked over 200 Teslas out of a suburban Detroit shopping center parking lot after sitting there virtually untouched for months. On June 4, 47th District Court Judge Marla Parker ordered that the owner of Hunter's Square shopping mall in Farmington Hills had to remove the vehicles by June 25 because keeping them there was in violation of city code.

City Manager Gary Mekjian said the Teslas were completely gone by June 19, according to Automotive News. At their peak, there were 204 Teslas being kept in that mall's parking lot, waiting for fools to buy them. Right now, it's not clear where the vehicles ended up being taken.

This whole situation has been ongoing for months at this point. The mall's property manager had been notified as early as March 13 that storing these Teslas wasn't allowed on the property. On March 11, a complaint was filed that indicated "approximately 20 brand new Tesla vehicles" had been "parked in the lot suddenly," according to AutoNews. If I lived nearby, that would definitely piss me off. Nobody wants to look at that many Cybertrucks on a daily basis.

A property manager apparently fired back, saying the store had received approval "by two previous code enforcement officers" since Tesla had a lease for that use. That might have been a lie, though, because the city's zoning division supervisor said there was "no evidence" of that happening.

The second one is serious long-form investigative journalism into SpaceX' safety culture of move fast and break things (usually their employees' bodies).

it is so loving annoying that basic laws are being broken by the move fast and break stuff crowd and we have zero state capacity to deal with it. osha fines for death often end up in the mid 10s of thousands range and now we have these jackals acting faster than our system is built to deal with so they get away unscathed.
