The commenters on that twitter thread are critical of geohot for "rolling over easily".
I don't think we should presume that the guy who defied Sony, AT&T, Apple, and the DCMA is doing any such thing.
Maybe he discovered a flaw in the design of comma AI or something.
- mikeash 10y agoThen maybe he should have said so. Criticizing him based on his own description of why it's canceled is entirely reasonable. He got a letter from the NHTSA and immediately said he was done because he didn't want to deal with it. He's either rolling over for them or he's lying about his motivations, either way it's not good.
- stale2002 10y agoWell, it is not really cancelled. He's moving to China.
- mikeash 10y agoHe said "The comma one is cancelled." I interpret the followup as being that they're doing other products and doing those other products in other markets. Maybe he just meant they'll do it in China instead, but I can only go off what he says here.
