I didn't buy one. Mine doesn't smell like plastic but talks the whole time...
Ah, so we have established wawajake's reference for reality is Hollywood Movies.Do you really think , Millennials and Gen Zs or Xs know what limitations Autopilot has in a plane......its the perception they see or hear whether in movies or not autopilot means let go of the steering, let it land itself , while Pilot flirts with the Stewardess. That perception and the growing factual base that Tesla drivers are letting themselve be distracted because they think "Autopilot" means they can . As more accidents with Musk's guinea pigs occur. More Lawyers will get involved and unfortunately the richest can afford to weasel out and hide the flaws in his profit maker. Hopefully NHSTA will get more involved and care about others.
Give me a break Grumpy, it is interesting that now you qualify your statement to " fitted to light aviation" ..... meanwhile what the majority thinks of over past 2 decades when talking about Autopilot, is the commercial airlines. And anything else they read and see when travelling or on TV etc. Musk chose that name because that is his goal , ( as Gale keeps reminding us) his technical profits are going to be from his " autopilot" tech ( or failures) . Meanwhile it is far far from the Autopilot commercial Pilots use, an autopilot that has planes a kilometer or more apart.(as safety net) Meanwhile Tesla is playing Russian roulette with vehicles a metre apart. .....and failures are starting to be noticed.Ah, so we have established wawajake's reference for reality is Hollywood Movies.
Be sure to tune in next week when wawajake learns "silencers" are still awfully darn loud.
Tesla Autopilot is aptly named, especially in reference to that which is fitted in light aviation.
I saw this meme elsewhere on TBN seems very applicable to some Grumps here. View attachment 864307
You have a 24/ 7 vehicle without paying for a driver which is huge when it comes to taxis and things like that.What is the purpose of self-driving cars (or whatever the liberal loons wanna call them)? The steering wheel is a foot in front of the driver, people really are that lazy that they can't keep their hands on the wheel? What do they plan on doing, taking a nap while the car drives?
