FFS, can we just go back to talking to each other in person and driving our own vehicles? Where'd the 90s go?

FFS, can we just go back to talking to each other in person and driving our own vehicles? Where'd the 90s go?
- Analemma_ 5mo agoJust this morning I was almost killed twice on my bike ride to work by two separate drivers, one of whom looked to be 80 and could barely see over the dashboard, and one who was on their phone. I didn’t even bother trying to remember the plate numbers, knowing that the odds of any kind of consequences are absolute zero. No, we can’t go back to driving our own vehicles. Waymo everywhere and human driving outlawed, ASAP.
- qwerpy 5mo agoAgree. Multiple people I know have bought Teslas because they don’t trust themselves or their spouses to drive safely, and want them to use FSD. There should be incentives to get people onto self driving.
- mikem170 5mo agoIf self-driving is better, then presumably cheaper insurance costs would be an incentive.
- ggreer 5mo agoDifferent states have different rules about what sort of things insurers are allowed to charge different rates for. In the states that allow it, Tesla does offer insurance discounts for FSD usage.[1] Lemonade also offers discounts for FSD usage.[2] 1. https://www.tesla.com/support/insurance/fsd-discount https://www.tesla.com/support/insurance/fsd-discount 2. https://www.lemonade.com/fsd https://www.lemonade.com/fsd
- israrkhan 5mo agoCalifornia is one of those states that does not allow FSD usage to impact insurance rates
- flextheruler 5mo agoTesla cars are not capable of driving autonomously according to the company and regulators.
- qwerpy 5mo agoMy dad doesn't care what the regulatory definition is, he just presses "Start Self-Driving" and off he goes.

"Failure to follow all warnings and instructions can result in property damage, serious injury or death." "Driver intervention may be required in certain situations, such as on narrow roads with oncoming cars, in construction zones, or while going through complex intersections." "Always remember that Full Self-Driving (Supervised) (also known as Autosteer on City Streets) does not make Model S autonomous and requires a fully attentive driver who is ready to take immediate action at all times."

- vachina 5mo agoIf the car drives itself we will have more time to talk to each other in person.
- cryo32 5mo agoOr invest in public transport instead
- NetMageSCW 5mo agoWaymo is the future of public transport.
- cryo32 5mo agoBollocks it is. It’s not public and serviced by tech companies.
