That was a teleprompter.
He just did a speech today on a teleprompter and was supposedly fine as well.

We’ve mined this very specific location with very powerful ordinance!
You just know they’re going to have lawyers combing over every single word in the relevant laws so they can squeak past the common meaning into an area of ambiguity and say fuck you to the FAA.
I wonder how long they can “hold onto” a recall like this while waiting for others to announce one first.
Is it just like, oh there’s so much paperwork so we have a 6 month window, and it doesn’t even matter since the parts aren’t available until the fall anyway?
There should probably be better rules on holding info back.
This would mean more 3 bedroom apartments as well correct?
You probably agreed to all of this in the billion page TOS so it’s no unsolicited.
They’ll find a way to turn that into prison not jail.
Made up example.
The FAA was only legally allowed to regulate propeller based airplanes under 50 feet! The law never specified newer larger planes, or new technology like jet engines or helicopters! They didn’t even exist when the law was made! None of their saftey rules apply to these vehicles!
Don’t insult a chimps intelligence like that. Not cool.
They definitely had something, I remember reading about it at the time. it might have involved what they knew about previous coronavirus’s as well. Whatever they had though it ended up being wrong.
I’ve been doing my part for over 15 years now.
I’ve only had to go 2 or 3 times on roadtrips when they were literally the only option, always late at night.
The vaccines initially did just that, it just turns out it was able to adapt anyway or they were wrong.
Ya, that’s how it goes.
Here it is

It says on average 7.6 following recalls get announced, so we might get a few more!
Porsche just recalled every Taycan as well for a brake hose that can leak.
Tesla, Ford and Porshe all back to back.
Someone, university or something looked into this once, and found that something like 70% of the time recalls happen in groups like this as OEMs wait for others to announce their recalls first as they take the bigger stock /media hit. Then anyone else who had one but hadn’t announced it yet jumps in and doesn’t suffer as much.
and he 100% broke it and didn’t even try
He actually did try. He wanted Ranked Choice but when feedback came for proportional, he ran away.
I feel like something like https://www.storj.io/ is on the path to what we would want/need?
There might be some additional requirements for a true CDN to ensure data is closer to where it’s needed and in as many regions as needed though with the right amount of bandwidth. The data gets stored all over the place, but that doesn’t mean its optimal. But they do seem to claim it’s faster on their website…
Edit: For those not wanting to click, TLDR is they use excess storage around the world and make it accessible anywhere, and safe from failures. People with excess storage can join the network if they have enough storage/bandwidth and pass some tests. Their API is S3 compatible.
I’ll be honest with you: all but one of the half-dozen (which is too many, BTW) cars I own have manual transmissions, and half of them don’t even have ABS, let alone any other fancy electronic nannies. I mention that to help explain the extent to which I am fundamentally Not On Board with anything that interferes with my manual control of the car.
Well that’s fair. You know what you want, nothing wrong with that.
I would absolutely insist on the maximum torque the self-driving system could apply being much less than the strength of the human driver. I don’t know if that’s the case in late-model vehicles or not, but if it isn’t, I would consider those vehicles to have an unsafe design.
I really don’t know on this either. Even if you can overpower it though in a worst case fighting you scenario, I imagine that would be a pretty fucked up driving moment.
Exactly: the same signal. If the electronics controlling it receive one input from the steering wheel and a different input from the self-driving computer, are you sure it will prioritize the steering wheel input in every single possible circumstance? 'Cause I’m not!
That’s an interesting point there, but have you considered that even with a mechanical link and current safety features, it can still override you? I unfortunately almost drove into someone at very low speeds in a dark rainy parking lot, but the cars safety systems overrode me thankfully. I don’t think they would have been injured it was so slow, but just to show that nowadays with cars you don’t always have full control. In that case it was the brakes not steering, but modern cars can and will prevent you from changing lanes into someone in your blind spot for example.
All of it, mechanical link or not, ultimately comes down to software now, and I’m not sure there would be any real difference between your steering wheel input overriding a self driving system with or without a mechanical link. Putting torque on the wheel while in these semi self driving modes disables the self driving features, but that’s software that disables it when you take over. What if that software failed and you were now fighting the self driving car also trying to steer and as you tried to steer it put equal power against you thinking the steering was rough?
Also with steer by wire if there is a catastrophic failure, turning the wheel will simply do nothing. E.g if both motors simultaneously die, or somehow all 3 signal wires at the steering wheel are cut. Edit: I believe it’s dual battery redundant as well, so the HV and 48v would both need to die to kill steering.
So I looked it up, and you’re right, steering isn’t part of the power train. Looks like its it’s own thing.
I don’t think it’s right to lump it in with the L2 system though as it’s taking your input and translating it into the appropriate movement. The L2 driving system decides to go left or right and will send the same signal you would by steering left or right. I guess it’s just it’s own thing just like power steering is it’s own thing.
Obviously this is first gen tech in cars, but it’s been around for quite awhile in aviation with no backup mechanical link, we haven’t all died yet.
Tesla’s system is triple redundant, but that doesn’t guarantee something won’t go wrong, only time will tell on that one. Maybe we learn triple isn’t enough and the NHSTA mandates quad?
I do have a feeling though, that within 20 years or so, it’s almost all going to be steer by wire. It’s safer in the event of a crash as you don’t have the steering shaft in front of you. It also saves space from not needing all the mechanical linkage. I imagine insurance would have higher rates on cars that don’t have steer by wire as well due to increased risk in accidents.
Edit: I would add though that motors are part of their specialty, and the steer by wire system is using 2 of them, so they do get some of their existing expertise on that.
Edit: I guess the triple redundancy is on the steering input. Obviously with only the 2 motors, thats only double redundant.
These are usually meant for shorter buildings, and I imagine the staircases are all concrete and can’t catch fire.
That being said, if you’re in a multi level building and it’s only a handful of levels, you should have a window escape ladder as the fire could be just outside your apartment, or in your apartment blocking the door
Maybe they should even be included, a 4 story, 4 units a level building would only be 16 ladders to provide.
