  1. No agenda with the Rolling Stone article at all... Here is the full list of of the 23 vehicles that iseecars.com deemed "the most dangerous cars on the road." From the iseecars.com article that Rolling Stone based its article on: "A vehicle’s size, weight, and height certainly play a part in its ability to protect passengers in a crash,” said Brauer. “But the biggest contributor to occupant safety is avoiding a crash, and the biggest factor in crash avoidance is driver behavior. A focused, alert driver, traveling at a legal or prudent speed, without being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, is the most likely to arrive safely regardless of the vehicle they’re driving.” We've already established in various threads that many Tesla drivers drive like assholes. Mix that in with the vehicle's acceleration and some drivers' unfamiliarity with regenerative braking, and operator error leads to a higher rate of accidents for these vehicles.
  2. That's the planned track. You are familiar with the concept of relative motion, right?
  3. I have a lot of experience with the system. What I see in the video is driver overreaction to very minor preparatory maneuver by the vehicle. It can be unsettling if you don't have experience with the system or the vehicle. When it comes to "what do the data say", I can only point out what they don't say. There is not an epidemic of Tesla FSD accidents or fatalities that indicate significant safety risks to the public. Show me those data, and I will change my stance accordingly. We have had plenty of time for those data to surface, but they have not. It didn't do that. your confirmation bias is showing.
  4. I'll point you to this independently maintained list of Tesla fatalities data: https://www.tesladeaths.com/
  5. 2 confirmed fatalities in 2 billion+ miles driven. In 2023 (most recent data available), the US had an average automobile fatality rate of 1.26 per 100 million miles driven.
  6. We can share anecdotes all day long, even anecdotes that have nothing to do with FSD. The vast majority of people in this thread have made up their minds about FSD without a full picture and will not be swayed by actual data. That's fine. It doesn't make for a very good discussion of an interesting and important topic... but internet points!!!
  7. I've seen FSD Teslas do the exact same thing.
  8. The article and the data don't address FSD at all.
  9. There is an option to send a voice report every time the user disengages FSD. It's a single button push on the steering wheel to start the voice report and single button push to send.
  10. Guess it had buns, hun.
  11. If you think the actuaries aren't already factoring this into the rates for vehicles with advanced driver assist features, I don't know what to tell you.
  12. That has little if anything to do with FSD, and is due the cost of repairs to the vehicle.
  13. Insurance covers it like any other inattentive or negligent driver. If you aren't monitoring your driver assist features and you get into a wreck, you are at fault just like failing to yield or follow at a proper distance and your future insurance rates will suffer. People have been misusing and abusing driver assist features since 1958. This is not a new problem for insurance companies.
  14. I'm surprised how much of the RDM vernacular has made it into common usage for me. "How big a boy are ya?", "I'd better pack a lunch", and "it's a common spelling" make their way into conversation more than is probably healthy for me.
  15. Probability that my deadbeat brother has this on order already? 100%
  16. You post this as if it is out of the ordinary or something related to new policies implemented by the current administration. ICE has been doing this exact same thing for the past 23 years. Congrats on continuing to do the job.
  17. @Mack Tripper imma disabled it.
  18. Oceans of time have passed... I can barely remember that there were four stickers, but I can remember one guy. He was a TE/OLB. Went on to play at aggy on scholarship, but didn't see the field much there other than ST.
  19. Since you asked… Got an OTA software upgrade to FSD (Supervised) 12.6.3 yesterday. Did a drive to downtown Tulsa this morning and back through rush hour traffic, multiple construction zones and downtown streets - 33 mile round trip. Zero disengagements or interventions. Best performance I have ever seen from the system. As I am neither a pilot nor aerospace engineer, I have no frame of reference to form an opinion on how well the FSD camera-only model would translate to aircraft control. Based on recent experience, I can only guess that the solution will be far more complex and take far longer than dumbass Elon says.
  20. This is exactly how I picture Pimphand.
  21. Star - special teams score (entire ST got one) or a general "good play". Football - individual scoring play. Skull and Bones - TFL/Sack/Turnover. Stack of Pancakes - you got a pancake block by knocking someone flat on their ass.
