The probe covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles.
Tesla’s “camera-only” approach to partially and fully autonomous driving systems, some industry experts have said, could cause issues in low-visibility conditions as the vehicles do not have a set of back-up sensors.
“Weather conditions can impact the camera’s ability to see things and I think the regulatory environment will certainly weigh in on this,” said Jeff Schuster, vice president at GlobalData.
It’s crazy to me how long public crimes can go on before any kind of regulatory authority does anything. We’ve been reading about self-driving cars going haywire and killing people for years.
Feels akin to Eric Adams being indicted, when there were reports of his shady dealings with Turkey for a long time. Like, what the fuck took so long? Why can I read about a crime in the newspaper years before the person is investigated?
The complete unwillingness of anyone in the American “justice” system to do their fucking jobs is wild to me.
Like, if nothing else, being the one guy willing to go after a big fish will catapult you into a media career if you want it.
Why isn’t there one random rogue mayor or sheriff willing to take a big gamble and arrest someone powerful for blatantly breaking the law if for no other reason than clout? Why did no one arrest Trump for violating their mask mandates back when those existed? Why hasn’t anyone arrested Biden for violating US law by giving weapons to Israel? Or Nancy Pelosi for insider trading?
Like, will it work in the end? Probably not but fuck it, why not try? There’s nothing legally preventing it, technically high ranking politicians are no different from anyone else and if they commit a crime in your jurisdiction you have just as much right as with anyone else to drag them out in handcuffs, book them, and throw them in a cell awaiting trial. In fact, wealthy powerful people are a huge flight risk, you should probably deny them bail.
People who investigate rich people very quickly find out why it doesn’t happen often. And those who don’t get the message… don’t investigate for much longer.
Comrade, have you forgotten that the term ‘dictatorship of the bourgeoisie’ is very literal
Sure, but I really struggle to think that of the over 3000 sheriffs and however many mayors in this country none have tried. These are not all people with a rational way of calculating personal risk. Sheriffs and mayors are largely “The most insane weirdo you could find in the county/city.” Like, the currently sitting sheriff in my hometown killed a pedestrian drunk driving and is it’s widely known he continues to drive drunk. He clearly doesn’t think that much of his own safety, is it that big of a stretch for him to decide to save America from the evil Joe Brandon just by doing his job?
Like, do you think Joe Arpaio is out here like “Man I would love to arrest Joe Biden, but due to the risk I perceive to my own safety, I’ll have to let him go”?
Computer touchers still insist that the bazingamobiles are “safer drivers than the human”
(that’s the way they put it, creeps).
