yeah, using the touchscreen to override your car every time it tries to run over a pedestrian in a crosswalk is going to get really old really fast

I was stuck behind a Tesla the other day and it kept waiting until the last second to turn or change lanes and I couldn't tell if they were bad at driving or if they kept trying to get fsd to work and had to keep forcing it because it wasn't working

solution: the car predicts when you're going to override and does it for you instead?

The car will make medical diagnoses and, upon identifying a terminal illness, orchestrate a fatal collision to spare the driver any pain or overbearing medical bills.

It will also do this if you're woke

unless we see what testing plan has been "approved" by the FDA, that announcement doesn't mean anything. like the FDA approving the first trial could be based on the 'first trial' being some totally non-invasive EEG based prototype "that will of course someday be turned into a tiny chip that gets soldered right into your brain"

especially since this news is coming directly from Elon apparently lol

Every single bit of reporting I’ve read has been “Musk/Neuralink say they’ve gotten FDA approval”. There has not been an iota of confirmation of this from the FDA in any article I’ve seen.

It's okay. He's literally made billions of dollars off of people endlessly making the exact same mistake again and again because it can't possibly be that stupid, you must be explaining it wrong.

The neural link has interesting implementations as far as creating bizarre punishments for Elon musk. can I, let's say, implant false memories using the chip? i'm getting some great inspiration from these silent Hill longplays!
