    There are some real Elon haters out there. I think they’re ugly as sin but I’m happy to see more people driving vehicles with all the crazy safety features, even if they aren’t perfect.

    You’re in control of a massive vehicle capable of killing people and destroying property, you’re responsible for it.

      If only Elon would say something similar when he re-tweets a video of people having sex while the car is on autopilot. Can you guess what he actually said?

      I’m quite certain that there will be some humble pie served to the haters in not too distant future. The performance of FSD 12.3.5 is all the proof you need that an actual robotaxi is just around the corner. Disagree with me all you want. All we need to do is wait and see.

      However I’m also sure that the cognitive dissonance is going to be so strong for many of these people that even a mountain of evidence is not going to change their mind about it because it’s not based in reason in the first place but emotions.

        What makes this time any different from the dozens of other times musk had said we’re six months away from FSD? When do you think Tesla will take responsibility for accidents that happen while using their software?

        If they do that in the next year, I’ll gladly eat humble pie. If they can’t, will you?
