    Good! Get this going fast so we can move forward to teleportation already. I’m sick of waiting for my packages and getting to to McDonald’s for more than one minute. Long live the orange duck and papa musk

  2. Has anyone really attempted to work out the liability issues? Is the owner of the vehicle responsible for insuring against damages? The manufacturer? The victims?

    Tech shit be damned, liability and insurance seem like the biggest hurdle to automation to me. I have to assume we have had enough damage caused by autonomous vehicles at this point that some insurance company has started working it out right?

  3. Well, yeah – now, whatever Elon wants, Elon gets.

    Brings a whole new meaning to “accelerationism”

    Automate every union factory and transportation job. It’s what they voted for clearly.

    I’d take an autonomous car over a distracted driver on his phone any day of the week. Bring it.

    I don’t think this is as irresponsible as people make it out to be. We need data in the long run in order to create a system that will be orders of magnitude better than our current system. Mind you that human driven cars cause millions of deaths a year. The red tape around driverless cars make it hard to implement while they are already safer for certain areas. Not all deregulation is bad 

  7. nice to see gizmodo is still a tabloid rag. Can tell they really need the clicks and views.

  8. Amazing how Trump supporters are so anti-EV and now you throw billionaire EV CEO into the campaign and suddenly it’s the next big thing. Traitorous sellouts.

    Those semi drivers are going to be so pissed when Dey Took Err Jobbss.

  10. This is what President Musk paid for. Vice President Trump has to sit back and shut up.

    Go ahead. People voted for this guy, they wanted it, give it to them. Be sure you take away their health insurance first though, gotta be efficient.

    The headline is insanely misleading. Also, drivers are already not safe. I can’t imagine being so worried about driverless safety when our current set up( human drivers) resulted in 40,000 deaths in 2023. Getting driverless cars on the road could save tens of thousands of lives.

    So will I finally be able to watch Youtube while my car is self driving?

  14. Even worse, Elon’s narcissism makes him think he can do self-driving on the cheap, without the radar/lidar sensors that all the safety experts say is necessary.

    We are all about to be his test dummies, just by being on the road.

    And this is why I’m investing money in that goof’s enterprises. No way he doesn’t get all the government contracts he can put his hands on.

  16. Fuck it, I hope they do. Truckers For Trump are about to get a dose of reality with a “go fuck yourself” chaser lol

    At least there are government retraining progr—wait, wait, that’s definitely not going to be there for them. Well shit, I guess that’ll be more time to enjoy the “return of normalcy.”

    How soon am I required to purchase my government-mandated Tesla?

  18. I swear I saw a clip of him at a rally talking about how dangerous self driving cars are. Guess it goes to show you can buy him out of any position.

    I’d take my chances with an autonomous truck driver over human at this point. Every week on a particular stretch of highway near me a semi causes an accident. Why? Everyone has to go faster than everyone else. Add in hills where a truck can lose momentum and these drivers get very aggressive.

    Hell I’d even be in favor of automatic hard speed limits at this point. Anything to get people to calm the fuck down. You’re not getting there any faster, so stop jockying for position.

    People are acting as if the occasional malfunction in autonomous driving is worse than the astronomical amount of horrible drivers out there crashing every day.

  21. Virtual-Chicken-1031 on

    That would actually be nice. I’m sick of driving everywhere.

  22. This is either going to send Tesla stock to the moon or into an early grave. I know no one likes the guy but for all of our sakes, I hope he succeeds. The alternative is a ton of highway deaths before someone with half a brain pulls the plug.

  23. Melon is fully 1″ erect at how much he is getting his own way.

    Is there anyone in the upcoming American government who isn’t just filling their own pockets?

  24. MeBollasDellero on

    Am sure that’s what they said. “Safety standards be damn”…let them crash! 😂 let’s talk about the the tech behind it, what manufacturer is doing it right, and which ones have it wrong…I swear, some people will post this shit only if their antagonist is for it. If their voting base bubble suggest it…it is a wonderful idea.

    He killed many people in his last term through his incompetence including CIA agents and Canadian soldiers. He doesn’t give a shit.

  26. Do you mean Elon wants too cause he is also co president since we live in a full blown oligarchy more than ever before.

  27. Particular_Row_8037 on

    Good maybe that’s how we make America smarter. Hopefully run some of his followers over.

    Tesla isn’t the only company working on autonomous/self driving cars. You would think a sub dedicated to technology would be aware of that. In fact, the lead they used to have is quickly closing.

    Secondly, there were over 6 million police reported accidents in 2021 for the US. Probably double that number for the legitimate number of actual accidents. There were 43,000 fatalities from those accidents. If loosening regulations can reduce that number then it’s a legitimate proposal to discuss.

    This sub is one of many that has replaced legitimate conversations, in this case on tech and regulation of said tech, into a partisan politics pissing contest. Go back to politics or white people twitter.
