Elon Musk’s EV company is running a social-media campaign blaming European traffic deaths on red tape. Its safety claims don’t hold up, experts say, but regulators are starting to buckle.
Does FSD exist in the US? If so, show your safety records in the US.
Oh wait…
Oh wait what?
They’reTheir safety record in the US isn’t good. The news of a crash by the cars happen regularly.
Try putting radar units in like every other car company uses already. Oh, but those cost money.
It’s not about money, it’s because Musk thinks self driving cars should work with only vision because human drivers do so as well, and nobody was able to push back against him.
For other great Musk driven design decisions, see the Cybertruck. And IIRC the lack of physical door handles as the frameless doors have to open the window a little first or the weather seal gets damaged.
One benefit of it getting cold in Canada now is those stupid ass trucks are getting off the streets. They absolutely cannot survive a Canadian winter.
there’s no FSD because it only exists in marketing language
What are you talking about?
Do you also believe his gesture was “my heart goes out to you”? Also do you remember when he said FSD would be ready in a few months….in 2013?

No, those were definitely nazi salutes, made in public, at the end of a speech

Pioneering tech leaders often overpromise things, doesn’t mean it cannot be ready today
It’s a glorified cruise control. Uses error prone cameras. Only worked in certain areas and in the US, which has traditionally ridiculous vehicle regulations (they even approved a fucking razor blade with wheels).

Good. Tesla’s FSD seems to be easily the best in the market. https://www.motortrend.com/features/tesla-fsd-driver-assistance-system-best-tech-2026
It’s good that EU is careful about this stuff, which is why the piloting is happening in a limited set of countries. But when it has been tested, why keep putting hurdles on the technology? People are literally dying in preventable human-caused car accidents every day.
