I don't think they're type likely to install auto-car kits but then again, most of those trucks look like they've never seen anything more than a couple of feet off the pavement.

computer parts posted:You do know regular auto fatality numbers don't come from auto manufacturers right? The NHTSA knows when someone dies in a car, they don't know how many autopilot miles Tesla owners have logged because that information is collected by Tesla through their telematics system. One is a matter of public record, the other is not. How do you propose that an independent entity get numbers on autopilot use except from Tesla, the company that collects that data? Of course I could just point out the single recorded autopilot fatality as ample evidence of it being uncommon. That's .003% of total automotive fatalities in a year.

Some say the mystic totem known as "polling" could reveal these results, but historians dispute this.

Trump...Trump is like a car. And you look and there is nobody at the wheel and everybody is like LOOK OUT ITS GOING TO SWERVE ALL OVER THE ROAD WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE AHHH * dramatic pause punctuated by a self satisfied smirk* ..but it doesn't, does it? Everything's okay. It stays the course. Because that car is driven by a robot. And that robot is the freedom loving american electorate. Now, Hillary Clinton is like a watch. She has all these facts and figures and oh sure, it's water proof, we guarantee it, we promise. The eggheads promise. But look what happens when you wear it in the shower. The steam gets in. Just like the cash and your tax dollars getting into Bill's fat bank accounts.

Samurai Sanders posted:Looking at news of Duterte calling Obama a son of a whore and the US ambassador a gay son of a whore I am wondering why him and Trump haven't made out yet or if they have already and we just don't know it. I see this pop up, and it makes me wonder what contribution to the global economy the Philippines makes. Who loving cares about its president. I fully admit the only things that comes to mind about the Philippines is this insane murderer being its president and (child) sex tourism.

A few other nice perks about the Model S/X: they have fake OBDII ports. They don't let you collect even basic information from the vehicle period. And if you try to get around it, they will call you up angrily and accuse you of corporate sabotage.

NippleFloss posted:Since literally no one else could provide that information your argument is basically that you will never believe it, so why not just say that instead of asking for a citation? Who else would have information on miles driven with autopilot engaged? The hate-boner for that company by so many in this thread is so bizarre. I don't know if its a product of Elon being an insufferable douche or the Left's susceptibility to "No True Scotsman," but no automotive company has done more to encourage the development of electric vehicles. Right now you have Porsche talking about how their 2020 release will be superior to current Teslas and every major manufacturer describes their electric vehicle as the answer to Tesla. They forced conventional auto makers to compete in the segment, which would be laudable even if their own product was poo poo. And yet you have people in this thread gleefully talking about how the Solar City buyout will sink them.

See this is what I mean by being weasel-y with definitions. What does "encourage development" mean? Does it mean they're funding research? Or does it mean they're being a bullet-point in a competitor's marketing scheme? Going by the rest of the quoted post, it's the latter.

Has anyone analyzed the carbon emissions of a horse? Cows apparently significantly impact climate change so it may be high. Has anyone made an electric horse? These equestrians are killing our planet.

computer parts posted:See this is what I mean by being weasel-y with definitions. I distinctly remember reading multiple longform pieces about companies developing patents for electric vehicle systems and sitting on them 8-10 years ago. I am not an engineer and I can't expound on how or even if Tesla has made major advancements in the technology. I can tell you that, by offering a mass produced electric vehicle, they have greatly encouraged other manufacturers entering the field. That's just common sense.

Nothing, because thick men in black suits with earpieces would have come into the restaurant minutes before he entered, scanned the place thoroughly, seen that you were there, and kicked your commie liberal tree loving rear end out before Trump would have to even bother breathing the same air as you.

The owner shits all over Boeing for battery issues before dealing with the same loving thing himself, subjects the rest of us to alpha testing of his "auto pilot" system by his stupid customers and pretends that putting his desk at the end of a manufacturing line is going to turn his boutique manufacturing company into the next loving Toyota. Also, the development of the Porsche 918, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1 have nothing to do with Tesla and everything to do with EU car fleet standards.

Horses do produce emissions- horseshit and lots of it. I saw some pictures of New York in the 1800's and the horseshit was curb-deep in the streets before they they invented sanitation. At least cars don't crap everywhere.
