@BrandonStraka It won’t matter California doesn’t require voter id, they will continue to cheat. Glad I don’t live anywhere near that infestation they call a state.

New poll shakes up California governor race. Survey shows two Republican candidates leading in the primary, signaling a potential shift in the contest.

@Sheikyrboote @FredLambert You are talking about the speed profiles. Those settings are independent of the speed offset in Autopilot settings. The speed offset settings do have the ability to cap.

@TechMagaByte @FredLambert Tesla removed the ability to set a speed offset. You can get 3 choices of speed offset with no ability to cap. Users are complaining that the highest choice is too fast and will cause tickets. They want the ability to set the MPH top speed back.

Tesla fans using the “4-second disengagement” as a gotcha are missing the forest for the trees. Yes, the driver was technically in control of the vehicle at the moment of impact. But she was in control because FSD was already failing by driving too fast ahead of this sharp turn — it was heading straight into a concrete barrier at highway speed with no sign of correcting. Everyone who has frequently used FSD or Autopilot and paints this 4-second disengagement as a “gotcha” moment is being disengenous, and that includes Elon Musk. I have tens of thousands of miles on FSD, and I’ve experienced the system coming too fast into a turn at least half a dozen times. We’ve said this before and we’ll keep saying it: the problem with FSD isn’t what happens when the driver is paying attention and the system works. The problem is what happens when the system gives you every reason to trust it, and then suddenly doesn’t work. The driver has to recognize the failure, assess the situation, decide on a correction, and physically execute it, all in less time than the system needs to create the danger. Musk and Tesla’s propagandists can point to the logs all they want. The video shows what actually matters: FSD approaching a standard highway curve at full speed with zero indication it was going to navigate it. That’s the failure. Everything that happened after, including the panicked disengagement, is a consequence of that failure. The framing that this was “manual driving, not FSD” is technically true for the final 4 seconds and deeply dishonest about the full sequence of events. It’s exactly the kind of liability shell game that courts are increasingly rejecting, as that $243 million verdict makes clear. Tesla created the system, sold it as “Full Self-Driving,” and profits from the ambiguity. At some point, it has to own the consequences.

@BreadedNeds @esjesjesj You must be very flexible to be able to do all that while sitting up straight watching the road.

@TechMagaByte @esjesjesj I mean, i had a good long boring stretch on I75, had one of my feet up wedged between the door and heat vent, other one on the center jump trying to stretch a nerve in my hip.

Btw what happens is drivers see that autopilot is about to cause a crash and disengage it to try to stop the crash and it’s too late. Then tesla gets to say that autopilot wasn’t engaged

Wow, that’s a “stretch” If you had your legs open like a $2 whore while using FSD in a cybertruck, without the cybertruck knowing, I’ve gotta hand it to you for creativity. Except now you’ve put yourself in a dangerous situation and why would you disengage if your feet weren’t on the breaks.

@TechMagaByte @esjesjesj I can have my head in the correct spot, looking forward, but otherwise both legs way up

If you own a home with a basement, attic, or backyard, chances are you’ve thought about using it to earn a little extra income or as space for a loved one. We want to make it as easy (and affordable) as possible for you to do that. NYC recently legalized ADUs — but for too many New Yorkers, they’re still tied up in bureaucracy and expense. We're fixing that. Our new toolkit at nyc.gov/aduforyou includes preapproved building plans and a financing calculator so you can get right to building. If we want New York to remain a city for everyone, we have to make it easier for homeowners to stay here. ADU for You will do just that.

First of all, Tesla FSD is extremely agile, the car would’ve handled that turn just fine. Second of all, the speed settings are configured by the driver. She likely had them set very high and when she got uncomfortable, failed to properly take control of the vehicle. It was 100% the driver’s fault.

I normally don't bother armchair quarterbacking these situations. But watching the Tesla Stans come into the comments is funny. Elon said Autopilot (FSD?) was disengaged 4s before the impact which if you watch the video looks like it was going way too fast at that point. Am I missing something?

@BreadedNeds @esjesjesj Yes. There is a cabin camera that ensures you are positioned properly and paying attention to the road.

@TechMagaByte @esjesjesj Does it detect if you are in a super-relaxed position, like feet on the dash?

@BreadedNeds @esjesjesj And your logic stating that she actually needed to “get in an actual position to hit the brakes” is flawed. FSD supervised means you are always in a position to hit the brakes.

@TechMagaByte @esjesjesj Feet up on the dash because woman and "self driving, innit?" Then she sees it's gonna crash and she grabs the wheel (autopilot disengages) but still needs to get in an actual driving position to hit the brakes

It wasn’t about to crash. Tesla FSD is very agile. It would have handled the turn just fine. I use FSD daily and when my speed settings are high, it always successfully maneuvers similar sharp turns. What happened is she had her speed set high (based on how she configured it), she wasn’t comfortable with that speed during sharp turns, then she failed to take control properly when she disengaged. But sure play the whole “because she’s a woman” card. Whatever that means.

@Weichaus @wholemars @ABC7 The speed is an irrelevant. The point is that the driver disengaged without taking control of the vehicle. The driver is 100% responsible.

@wholemars @ABC7 Do you think the person was driving 60 up the ramp when it should have been 40-45 because they were driving manually? No. FSD was

So scary! A Tesla Cybertruck crashed into a concrete barrier while in self-driving mode on a Houston, Texas. The truck, without warning, tried to drive off an overpass, The driver tried to take control, but it crashed into the barrier.

@ABC7 Sounds like a journalist didn’t do their homework.

@WallStreetMav it will ruin the “ratio” concept

My concern about a "dislike" button is that it will make talking anything controversial more difficult. People will get their accounts nuked with organized groups that run thousands of dislikes. Leftists will target someone like Nick Shirley who is exposing fraud.

Vote Republican this November. The steaks couldn’t be higher.

@JohnCornyn A bill that would never pass lol. Your lip service can’t save you.

It is hypocritical for Democrats to continue to refuse to fund TSA and other Department of Homeland Security functions, while getting expedited treatment at airports unlike their constituents I am filing a bill that would prohibit special treatment for Members of Congress at TSA security. Specifically, the End Special Treatment for Congress at Airport Act:   •Would require Members of Congress to undergo the same TSA screening procedures as all other airline passengers and prohibit the use of federal funds to provide them with expedited or preferential access at airport security checkpoints.   •The bill bars Members from bypassing standard screening or receiving priority treatment based on their official status, while allowing them to continue participating in publicly available programs such as TSA PreCheck or other trusted traveler programs.   •Maintains TSA’s ability to implement risk-based security programs available to the public.

@JohnCornyn You’re full of shit. The only reason you’re saying this is because you got permission from your buddy Thune to say it in hopes it helps you beat Paxton in your primary. Behind closed doors, you want nothing to do with the Save America Act or Talking Filibuster.

🚨I just voted for the SAVE America Act, & I support using the talking filibuster & making any changes necessary to Senate rules to get this passed.   I am glad that the Senate will debate this bill & hold Democrats’ feet to the fire to see who is willing to go on record opposing voter ID and proof of citizenship to vote.   Let’s get it done.

If your senators don’t support using the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, you might need to replace them.

@InsiderWire @grok when will scotus rule on this?

#BREAKING: Supreme Court intervenes after judge blocks Trump from terminating protected status for 350K+ Haitians.

@ResistAmerica @TSA @grok are democrats or republicans more to blame for TSA not being funded?

@TSA Nice take. But false. The GOP holds the keys to stop the shutdown.

Some TSA officers can’t afford gas to drive to work because they aren’t getting paid. Democrats must end their DHS shutdown immediately.
