This should go under the dictionary definition of “bad faith argument”.

The car doesn’t have to be in self driving mode for the fault to be Tesla’s - for example, the pedals on the cybertruck sliding off and sticking down the accelerator.

46k KM

“new”

Then you misunderstand why the US helped set it up in the first place.

Its not to keep the peace. Should it be? Oh yes, it should.

Its not about justice. Should it be? Again, yes.

It was set up to keep the USA, Britain, Russia, and others on the security council in power. In this way, the US flexing its might at the UN is par for the course.

The friendships with LIDAR suppliers aside (always a problem with these kinds of things),

1. the full self driving wouldn’t have saved the wall.
2. He’s telling a story. Disabling autopilot because he’s nervous is good storytelling because it’s science communication, not science. Its also cause he knows it’s super likely to fail.
3. He did show LIDAR having troubles - the heavy rain. Its just good enough to peak through it to stop the car before it hits the kid. it’s just that the self driving ALSO has trouble with this, and in fact worse troubles. LIDAR has trouble in places where the light is going to be blocked, a situation that a pure camera solution on a Tesla is not going to solve. Not unlikely to solve, NOT GOING to solve. In the real world, if light can’t penetrate through a thing twice, it’s unlikely to only do it once.
4. Its not supposed to be scientific, it’s science communication. Science is testing and retesting. He did one test and called it good.

Yup, LIDAR isn’t a silver bullet for every situation to do sensing. But it’s a damn sight better than pure cameras. And Musk would have known this if he was a good engineer. But hes not. Hes a spoiled, rich, apartheid-loving, racist asshole that thinks he’s a good programmer and engineer.
