This fucking "smart car" bullshit is legitimately so scary to me, every single thing about it sounds like such a fucking horribly bad idea, even just basic shit like moving all the features into one shitty screen so now your already most overworked sense is also having to look at a screen do to shit.
Just keep shit simple, stupid. Have all the levers and buttons spread out in nice memorizable places that you can find with your sense of touch, its fine, nothing needed to change about it.
I've been hearing PSAs against phone usage in the car for all my life but now suddenly your car is the phone you're not supposed to be getting distracted by.
what you dont love turn signals 3 menus deep? you just hate us for our freedom
Trying to press the brake button but I keep accidentally pressing epic easter egg buttons that play 120 db wet fart noises and snippets of memes from 2007. I try to pull the hand brake and it snaps clean off.
All I can do is steer the car directly into a concrete wall so no one else has to pay for my sins.
when youre about to press the brake button an ad loads in its place and your last seconds of life are spent listening to a car insurance commercial

Why would you want controls that you don't have to look at to find where they are?
That's one of the design philosophies I like with Mazda where they deliberately left a lot of controls on a tactile knob and physical buttons instead of turning your multi ton death machine into a video game on an ipad
so they are just poorly-designed overpriced guillotines?
they will sell us the rope indeed
Find the guillotines in your life. Teslas, f-35s, a helicopter's rotor and blades.
There is absolutely no necessity for cars if society wasn't built around their use. But if we have to have cars, "smart" cars are a bazinga solution looking for a problem.
Even in society not build around cars cars could be useful for people with disabilities and smart cars if done right could be more convenient for disabled people to operate.
Better urban planning and more accessible cities along with public access low-energy high-efficiency mobility vehicles for disabled people would still make more sense than vroom vroom carbon dumping machines.
if you can't troubleshoot Elon's code while going 83 on the freeway, maybe a Tesla isn't for you :technical:
tesla innovated a new way for their car to kill you and everyone around you!
And the best thing is. Only Tesla can get that data out for you. Oh oops they lost it.
Trolley problems are a thing of the past. Just do a programming error to create infinite trolleys. No tied up person shall survive!
I read SOCAL MAN as SOCIAL MAN and spent like five minutes trying to figure out if it's a poly thing or something.
SOCIAL MAN's just a guy who's extremely online and always in your DMs
always in your DMs
Not even about anything specific either, he DM'd me just now to talk about breakfast.
I thought it was a guy who was an influencer for Tesla brands. But I mean that's what you sign up for when you buy a Tesla.
Why for the love of god isn't there a giant 1930s electric switch somewhere labelled "Emergency Stop" on these things?
In the future I see a lot less Epstein-style suicides and a lot more of these things happening
Directly wired into a functional and up to date infrastructure
Wow, code from an industry that has a motto of move fast and break things, but none of the technology that really matters is made under that mindset - until Musk made Tesla.
well, technically when you lose control of your Tesla at 83mph on a freeway you are moving fast, and it's very likely that you will break some things... so mission accomplished
I've been coming to terms with the fact that all dystopias are coming true, but really, Maximum Overdrive too?
