Do people waive their rights to sue when they buy a Tesla or use the autopilot feature? How does Tesla not get sued into the ground?

like 10 years ago I kinda bought into the idea that self-driving tech would probably happen and it seemed plausible that it might get good enough that it had fewer accidents than human drivers and so insurance companies would see that and start pushing for it to be standard. now I wonder when we're going to start seeing insurance companies coming out and saying "if you have a car with FSD we're raising your rates through the roof"

Teslas total super easily and few body shops wanna mess with them and parts are a nightmare to get and they are all super expensive and for a lot of important poo poo you can't use used parts and there is zero aftermarket parts so I don't think insurance companies are thrilled to insure them.

It's actually really great they just randomly broke 3rd party API integration without telling anyone, every time I reflexively click on a Twitter link now it just doesn't load on my mobile client, nice of them to wean me off reading dumb bullshit. The dipshit spends 44B buying a social media company while fundamentally not understanding the social media business model is about letting everybody freely inside, and then selling all their data to advertisers. He thinks it's about gatekeeping his way to profitability like this is still the early 2000s.

They get dogshit vehicle codes, but the people who buy Teslas don't care because they mostly like to piss their money away anyway.

I was legitimately wondering this today too. Like I'm imagining essentially a DLC purchase that takes a second to do but maybe there's a wall of text people scroll through without reading before checking 'I Accept'? If so I would be interested to see how it's worded. If not then lol

From what I recall in most places you can't actually waive you rights to sue in most cases, and those waivers are utterly unenforceable. Entropic posted:like 10 years ago I kinda bought into the idea that self-driving tech would probably happen and it seemed plausible that it might get good enough that it had fewer accidents than human drivers and so insurance companies would see that and start pushing for it to be standard. Honestly with just how much it would save trucking and taxi companies, and how normal car companies are probably going to keep making incremental improvements to stuff like self parking and what not, I can imagine we might get there in 20 years or so. Maybe 15 for easier routes where tucks travel a lot like major highway. Just think there is to much money in it for the taxi and long haul trucking companies just to give up on it just because it sucks this decade. Having their vehicles going 24/7 and no driver to pay? Would be a dream for them. Although if Tesla does start getting inundated with lawsuits over it's current "self driving" stuff, I could see everyone cooling it with that for quite a while.

quote:On Musk’s first full day in charge, October 28, the executive assistants sent Twitter engineers a Slack message at the behest of the Goons: The boss wanted to see their code. Employees were instructed to “print out 50 pages of code you’ve done in the last 30 days” and get ready to show it to Musk in person. Panicked engineers started hunting around the office for printers. Many of the devices weren’t functional, having sat unused for two years during the pandemic. Eventually, a group of executive assistants offered to print some engineers’ code for them if they would send the file as a PDF.

Tiny Timbs posted:It took 3 months for Google to fix the route to my house so it didn’t direct you to the neighborhood behind me and instruct you to walk across the neighbor’s yard. How could a company like Tesla possibly handle local issues that are way more complex than redrawing a line? I'm curious about this. How does their FSD work in countries where they drive on the left, or travelling across say Europe with a change in road markings and traffic signs every time it crosses a border? There's a large series of connected roundabouts near me where 8 or 9 roads combine, plus 4 on/off ramps for a motorway. It's probably around 40 to 50 lanes of traffic combined. I can only imagine how badly a Tesla would screw up on it.

I believe there is actually at least one border crossings where between countries the roads change side of the road that's driven on. Even people find that one confusing as hell.

Also if -and this is a big if- Musk actually gets the character limit upped to 4000 before trump gets back, he's 100% just going on long rants up to the limit for all his posts that will then get just as ignored as everything he's poo poo out on Truth. Twitters character limit was perfect for him.

3rd party clients have always been in a weird place because yeah, they don't show ads and Twitter obviously doesn't like that, but the API doesn't serve ads so the clients can't show them even if they wanted to

I deleted Talon from my phone yesterday. It's a real good way to force people off your dying social media platform I guess, lol. Tweetdeck still seems to be functional surprisingly; considering it's owned by Twitter now I am waiting for them to just kill it and redirect to twitter.com one of these days. Really sucks for the devs who have been working on those apps forever.
