A 2025 Tesla Model 3 in Full-Self Driving mode drives off of a rural road, clips a tree, loses a tire, flips over, and comes to rest on its roof. Luckily, the driver is alive and well, able to post about it on social media.

I just don't see how this technology could possibly be ready to power an autonomous taxi service by the end of next week.

Look, I respect where you're coming from. May I presume your line of reasoning is in the vein of "elon musk sucks and thus anyone who buys their stuff is a Nazi and should die" - but that is far, far too loose of a chain of logic to justify sending a man to death alone. Perhaps if you said that they should be held accountable with the death penalty on the table? But c'mon - are you really the callous monster your comment paints you as?

I give 0 ducks about Nazis who drive the Nazi car. The more of them that oven themselves in them the better

These aren’t passive victims, they are operating harmfully dangerous machines at high speeds on roads shared with the rest of us.

Right but they believe that the car is safe, because of the advertising and because the product is legally sold.

If anyone is to blame here it's not the owner of the car, it's the regulators who allow such a dangerous vehicle to exist and to be sold.

Yea, this subthread it morally ass.

I don't think it's morally wrong to be a sucker. If you fall for the lie, you think you're actually doing a good thing by using FSD and making the road both safer today and potentially radically safer into the future.

Problem is, it's a lie. Regulators exist to sort that shit out for you, car accidents are rare enough that the risk is hard to evaluate as a lone-gun human out here. The regulators biffed this one about as hard as an obvious danger can be biffed.
