I don't understand how this is possible. Full self-driving has been fully functional since 2016, and Tesla's are the only heavily mass produced car to actually APPRECIATE in value as a result.. I think this is a conspiracy to smear Musk's reputation by the communist left.

Telsas are not considered fully self driving cars and never have been. There in lays the problem of people thinking they are. Sorry, it’s a fact, not a left wing conspiracy.

I believe his comments are in jest.

I hate the cause of the judgment, but hope people can find sanity again and start paying attention. Drive yourself or take an Uber, lazy slobs.

Been wondering since the self driving thing has been in the news, who will take the responsibility??? The car sure won't, no matter which vehicle is at fault.. Guess this is my answer. .

I've noted that you do not have a functional sarcasm meter.

Have you thought that... maybe...he has the right meter, but he wants to needle you?

Nope. Agreeing completely with someone is not a way to needle them.

Does anyone here have access to insurance policies. Ill assume no liability lies with the car maker beyond what may be discovered as flaws in design.
if an assisted or full auto system is in place the small print will let you know you assumed responsibility by engaging it.

I find it almost impossible to be a passenger and have been driven by no more than half a dozen people where I did not silently scream.
a self-driving car is doubtlessly statistically safer. The fatalities grab headlines and are spun to benefit the agendas of any entity threatened by the change in technology.

the fear mongers once said that early train's speed would kill.

Yeah, whatever. Is your reply actual sentences? LOL

[argonsagas]

Lays make potato chips, which are not cheap, while golfers take chip shots, which may or not be cheap shots.
Golfers also look for the best lie for their balls, while looking ahead at the lay of the land.
And.....some golfers lie about the lie, but when a golfer and his balls do not get laid, he may lay down a lie about it.


It's all so confusing.

argon, did you forget when the golfer was a kid, his mother washed his mouth out with lye soap for cussin'.
