    This means, too, that Tesla hasn’t hit the milestone Musk promised back in January, when he told investors that the company would launch “unsupervised full self-driving as a paid service in Austin in June … no one in the car.”

    Back in 2015 he claimed fully autonomous driving would be available in 3 years (by 2018) and since then it was always a year or two away. Why does anyone believe anything he says?

    “From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner.”

      Because people are, by and large, both forgiving to charismatic people and hopeful.

    NO, it’s not safe. They’re designed by a nazi that only cares about profit, and doesn’t give a shit about his nazi cars setting people on fire, or driving families off cliffs. After all the doors are locked, and can’t be opened - of course.

    Get these the fuck off the road.
