Man, a Norwegian coast guard vessel lost a conscripted soldier/crew member overboard somewhere in the Barents sea during the night. What a lovely way to go for a 19-20 year old. There's a fairly massive search on, but from what I hear its not looking very good.

You lose someone in the loving Barents sea at night, you can pretty much give the search crews a heads-up that they're looking for a dead body

https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/amp/Tesla-s-Autopilot-suspected-in-fatal-accident-12889035.phpquote:During a conference call last week to discuss the Palo Alto company’s latest quarterly earnings, Musk bristled at recent news coverage questioning Autopilot’s safety, saying such reports mislead drivers and could even put lives at risk. Tesla, he said, would start publishing quarterly reports on Autopilot safety, although he did not discuss what data would be included. Is he misquoted? Do I have brain worms? Does he have brain worms? Is he actually saying that "autopilot is safer" therefore "if you turn it off, people die"

Maybe he means that when correctly used, autonomous/auto/whatever is safer than relying solely on a human driver. So turning it off (as a result of blaming it as unsafe when instances of harm involving it were due to misuse) would be a net reduction of overall safety

Eej posted:https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/amp/Tesla-s-Autopilot-suspected-in-fatal-accident-12889035.php I think the charitable interpretation would be that autopilot provides additional safety when driving properly; thus if people are spooked into disabling it, they could get into crashes that autopilot would have otherwise prevented. I don't know how all the autopilot functions are implemented, but I'm thinking of things like lane departure warnings and automatic braking rather than sustained automatic driving. I'm not surprised that Teslas have trouble driving around LA; some sections of highway around there are an absolute mess of poorly marked lanes, patchy sections of concrete, and seams in the roadway that randomly track away from the actual lanes. Throw in construction and specific lighting conditions and I can totally understand a computer vision system freaking out.

Elon Musk is the son of apartheid emerald magnates and owes all of his starting fortune and success directly to that. His own hubris and ego has led to the death/injuries of factory workers due to blatant osha violations and his stupid cars continue to kill people while his company continues to lose billions of dollars. 100% of musks push for anything is to make his life avoiding anyone other than fellow 1%ers with ease.

The bolt blows the equivalent tesla out of the water. Basically all of the big auto manufacturers have EVs and hybrid options that are better than anything Tesla has to offer minus a 21” lcd in the middle of your dash that controls everything. Tesla has never made money and will likely be defunct in a couple of years after the current tech bubble pops. Due to the locked down nature of the cars, any on the road right now will be bricks in 2-3 years. Elon musk is sue happy as gently caress and deliberately targets any journalist that says a negative thing about his cars. Jeremy Clarkson and the BBC got sued after a review of an old Tesla on Top Gear. It was a bit of a gag in the grand tour tesla episode this year that every part of the review had to go through the legal department before Clarkson could say it on air, but in this case the joke is also reality.
