As a Toyota truck owner, can confirm.

Kei Kei’s delivery service.

I sometimes feel shortchanged as an American (no healthcare, FUUUUCK), but I only get real mad about it when I think about how we don’t get Hiluxes and Kei trucks.

MFW I say how much on the Fediaverse.

It’s Bill Burr’s 21st century and we’re all just living in it.

He’s crushing it on Star Wars stuff, his comedy is on fucking fire, and weirdly he’s one of a small axis of Americans (bad word choice lol) who has the backbone to resist our descent into fascism. I agree with him and I fuckin hate it, bring back buttons, I don’t’ want to drive an iPad.

That’s how I pay server costs :)

Feel free to use ad block, doesn’t hurt my feelings one bit. AdBlock Plus is still good. I’m shocked to meet a programmer who doesn’t already block ads TBH!

The odds of a Ram 1500 driver drunk-dialling the number on the popup ad blocking their backup cam is low… but never zero!

Pissing match. Elon and Beez are famously pricks to each other. Beez often is an angel investor into any credible threat to Tesla or SpaceX, presumably, because pissing match.

That’s a very good point. The prior excuses that it was an unintended software glitch, those excuses don’t make sense now that it has become obvious that it is an incremental rollout from Jeep to Dodge to Ram trucks. I’ll update that, good idea!

The Ram 1500 is the official car of “more than one, but not so many they take your license away” – both DUIs and beers before going to work.

That’s the other “Remind me later” button

Oh, RIGHT, that XD

I’ve been thinking about exactly this… you could probably get an apples to apples comparison, by comparing only a specific model year.

IE, how did every 2023 car perform in the year 2024? Then, parse that by the vehicle’s price, or maybe by its propulsion type, maybe both. THAT would be how an honest study of the question would go.

Of course, Tesla knows that, they can afford really great data scientists. Makes you wonder why they run their obviously flawed safety study instead.

No way, those “robots” are remote controlled, by underpaid actors in motion capture suits XD

“It broke the test equipment” is not NEARLY the clapback Elon thinks it is. That’s actually really bad, and probably demonstrates the lethality of the vehicle (it’s just too heavy)

Also I love your username, show me the lie

My helmet has a radar in it. Like, why the fuck not, toss two in there

No way, the company leadership that gave us MechaHitler would never skimp on Q/A or safety guardrails for their AI products.

And radar is dirt cheap. Toss a radar module (or two!) under the hood, watch as your cars stop plowing into stuff in the frontal plane of movement. It’s automation so simple that even Hyundai gets it right.

If you ask Tesla drivers, they often purchased the car because someone told them Teslas are safe, despite them being the statistically most lethal car you could drive in America.

We live in a dystopian information environment.

Wow, that’s crazy – I thought they impartially reviewed the federal government and determined that all the waste was coming from the 10-person autonomous safety office at the NHTSA, and whoever does the science to make sure rockets don’t poison us all at the FAA.

I’ve also noticed that.

Intrinsic to the tech, I think. It’s not that it gets worse, it just gets different (intentionally, as a feature).

The teams that ensure “different” trends in the direction of “better,” those teams are universally very new at their jobs and at the technology.

So, serious organizations are figuring out how to test and deploy consistently better AIs. I don’t think Elon Musk runs a single serious organization, other than arguably SpaceX.
