we on lemmy probably know most of the shortcomings, but it’s amazing that more perfect union is making videos about it for laymen as well
A Tesla marketing lie caused people to die. As the video pointed out the real reason they got rid of the extra sensors was to save money at the cost of safety. This is all about greed.
At this point Tesla should be disbanded as an example of what happens when companies disregard safety.
I think it also highlights the absurdity that the stock market has become and how it directly contributes to a culture that allows for human suffering as long as record profits are believed to be around the corner.

I don’t even understand what record profits they’re expecting at this point. Their sales numbers are dropping, they’re facing stiffer competition, the carbon credits and ev tax credits which benefited tesla so much are going away, and more of their newer offerings like the cybertruck and the taxi service have been absolute disasters. Somehow the company still enjoys about a $1 trillion market cap.
It is irrational for sure. The stock should have tanked a long time ago based on performance and future prospects, but it is still high as ever.
You know what really pisses me off? Some of the newer models have radar built in again (no ultrasound though). Tesla just doesn’t use it.
This is ancient news, but I still cant believe they ditched lidar. Relying in computer vision alone when you could easily give it more reliable data to work with is just stupid.
Do you mean radar? Tesla has never used lidar.
There was debate around whether they should use lidar. I thought I remembered that the initial plan was lidar but that musk dropped it before any actually got into the hands of consumers. I could be wrong though
Yeah, it’s a very well done vid that mom and pop can understand.
