Tesla fanboys and Elon Musk have hyped the "Full Self-Driving" feature for years. I took a ride around Los Angeles in a car with FSD engaged, and it made one dangerous mistake after another—like trying to run a stop sign as we merged onto the 110 freeway:

I've driven over 30 years around the globe in all kinds of weather & terrain. Merging onto the 110 scares the shit out of me every time.

There's no way I'd trust some half-baked computer with that. I'd need some Star Trek shit before I even considered it

Knowing a tesla might be merging onto the 110 in full self driving is yet another reason to never go in the 110, my god

It’s literally Elon’s fault, too, with his “optical sensors ought to be good enough” obsession.

Yeah. My nearest entrance ramp to I-93S is accessible only by merging from a 3-lane state highway onto a 2-lane state highway, instantaneously switching lanes, crossing a pedestrian crosswalk, & accelerating into traffic, in that order.

When a Waymo can do that, I accept that computers can drive.

Is the plan to crash this technology against society so much that we just accept it?

I think the plan is to befriend or install enough national leaders sympathetic to Tesla’s owner, and back it up with said owner’s control over one of the largest social media/news aggregators.

Oh man, I remember those merges. That is death.

Imagine this thing trying to get to a Kings game. Nah, I’ll take the train

abolish the 110

dreamland.ing•198 days ago

the 110 is pure evil and i will go out of my way to avoid it

WHY is it so BAD?!

I had to commute from south central LA to Pasadena, & was profoundly grateful my hours were flexible enough that I could avoid rush hour.

coachfinstock.bsky.social•198 days ago

LA only has two kinds of drivers: people that need more confidence and people who need less. So you get maniacs weaving in and out going 70 and people who hit their brakes when someone gets within 30 yards of them and 8 lanes of highway

crabs, bucket, that sort of thing
