Semi Space Trucker

Tesla is not a startup anymore and people are too dumb to distinguish between Autopilot and FSD. We are getting dumber and no one reads manuals. I agree with Gary. Im flirting with the idea that Autopilot should not be a thing in a vehicle capable of FSD. Cruse control runs through the FSD stack and if you havent paid for FSD then the vehicle pulls over as soon as safe and driver takes over. Someone's lack of a subscriptions should not result in one software rug pulling you 4 secs before a crash if another better software is readily available.

There’s no question in my mind FSD (or autopilot) was turned off at the time of the crash. That’s not the point: $TSLA needs to think longer term and invest in a 1-2 person PR team to squash mistaken commentary by the media like this. TSLA’s inability to control the narrative is again hurting the company’s brand and reputation for safety, which will be critical as it tries to secure regulatory approvals to launch fully autonomous Cybercabs with no steering wheel or pedals later this year. Why put a timely launch of Cybercab at risk to save a few dollars?

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?
