Tesla’s website says that Autopilot and more sophisticated “Full Self Driving” software cannot drive themselves
Full self driving
Cannot drive themselves
Christ I can smell the bullshit all the way from Canada.

The "we can do it by end of this year" he's been toting since 2016 wasn't a giveaway?
Dude, sit tight. Full self driving is coming at the end of 2017!
Here I am hoping that Tesla, Twitter, Space X, and any other brand associated with Elon Musk burn to the fucking ground. Burn baby burn, show this wanna be emperor that he’s wearing nothing at all.
Poor Boring Company never had a chance...
Had a chance to cancel a cross state rail project cause elon would rather crowd cars into a tunnel with no fire exit than let people take a fucking train.

“Musk later admitted to his biographer that he had never planned to build a Hyperloop system in California, and primarily promoted it in order to prevent conventional HSR proposals from breaking ground.”
Herrenknecht employees probably still make jokes about how he was going to "improve" the boring machine they built that he bought.
I got a flamethrower out of it, and Ryerson got a TBM contract out of it. Wasn't all that bad.
Off topic but I've never seen a more horrible beard on a man.
It looks like a character creator when they have really low quality hair rendering, so the most beard you can have is a few sparse stubble-like hairs.
I swear to god, I see so many narcissists with shitty fashion sense and personal appearance awareness.
you haven't seen my beard
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Tesla’s recall of more than 2 million of its electric vehicles — an effort to have drivers who use its Autopilot system pay closer attention to the road — relies on technology that research shows may not work as intended.
But research conducted by NHTSA, the National Transportation Safety Board and other investigators show that merely measuring torque on the steering wheel doesn’t ensure that drivers are paying sufficient attention.
“I do have concerns about the solution,” said Jennifer Homendy, the chairwoman of the NTSB, which investigated two fatal Florida crashes involving Teslas on Autopilot in which neither the driver nor the system detected crossing tractor trailers.
Missy Cummings, a professor of engineering and computing at George Mason University who studies automated vehicles, said it’s widely accepted by researchers that monitoring hands on the steering wheel is insufficient to ensure a driver’s attention to the road.
But they don’t see well at night, unlike those in General Motors or Ford driver monitoring systems, said Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies vehicle automation safety.
Kelly Funkhouser, associate director of vehicle technology for Consumer Reports, said she was able to use Autopilot on roads that weren’t controlled access highways while testing a Tesla Model S that received the software update.

Tesla agreed to the recall? Did they really have a choice?
A better solution, experts say, would be to require Tesla to use cameras to monitor drivers’ eyes to make sure they’re watching the road. Some Teslas do have interior-facing cameras. But they don’t see well at night, unlike those in General Motors or Ford driver monitoring systems, said Philip Koopman, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies vehicle automation safety.
