It isn’t a matter of which is better - you use both, and more.

To be fair, the LiDAR was primarily used for parking. Still a stupid decision to remove it. There were plenty of values it provides…but those cars were never going to drive themselves even if they did have LiDAR.

If they had work done, they might not be “naturally” beautiful. Probable better to just say “No, I don’t believe you. You don’t look like you had any work done.”

Might I suggest you use the time machine you created to go back and talk yourself out of making the climate change reversal machine. I can think of nothing worse than for you to feel like you are stupid.

This reeks of selling games on a “pay per new game save” kind of move. If “replay” is a threat, how long until they move to eliminate that?

The book industry will be doing this with digital copies if they haven’t already.

Given the industry’s “you aren’t buying, you are renting” mentality… very, very optimistic.

Not voting for Harris doesn’t make a person a Trump supporter. Their vote however does support Trump.

The problem with this way of thinking is that there are solutions to eliminate accidents even without eliminating self-driving cars. By dismissing the concern you are saying nothing more than it isn’t worth exploring the kinds of improvements that will save lives.

Correction - Older Teslas had lidar, Musk demanded they be removed because they cut into his profits. Not a huge difference but it does show how much of a shitbag he is.

low visibility, including sun glare, fog and airborne dust

I also see a ton of accidents when the sun is in the sky or if it is dusty out. \s

Of course they are, it’s why they are using their weather control powers to cause all of these storms. Duh.

Overlooking the concept of a failsafe? How did they get past the concept of the subscription model?

so they fired them all

Even fictional evil companies need to meet goals set by the board.

Did the lady have 5 kids to feed?

Barely a spiel. He put that “dangerous democrat rhetoric” crap between him lying to villainize Harris and lying to villainize migrants. He barely paused to breath switching back and forth from that completely disingenuous talking point.

idiotic dumbass

That’s a funny way to spell “intentional liar.”

I recall a time, not too long ago, when conservatives hated Musk with a passion and wanted him to fail at everything he did.

That’s exactly what it will be. “It is totally not Project 2025 because Musk made it up after heading the task force, right… right? Wait, he came up with all the exact same actions as Project 2025? That must be coincidence.”

I mean, Kathy Hochul was clearly not unwitting in her money laundering… so if your comparison is to say these right-wing influencers were completely aware of their Russian ties and were not duped at all, I am down with that.
