I get the idea automation, its great when it saves time and effort but when it represents a minuscule chance of chopping a limb off you it should never be implemented to the public.

Just the tip to see how it feels bay bay

The cybertruck is an iq test.

An evolutionary trap

Oh no I saw a video where it chopped a carrot without stopping

I don’t have the courage to click the link….

THAT'S THIS!!!

He went through a bunch of vegetables and, admittedly, it was pretty impressive how it handled them. But then with no hesitation it took off the tip of the carrot and he still decided to try his finger

So that's incredibly stupid, lol if it crushes and cuts a carrot why couldn't do it with a finger

Are there any crashes already involving pedestrians? I really wonder how broken those pedestrians are after the hit. I think the chance to survive a hit from a Cybertruck is minimal.

And I am even surprised that it is allowed on your streets.

To be fair, the survivability of being hit by any big US pickup is pretty small. Perhaps the cybertruck is even worse though.

Pickups are explicitly exempted from a lot of crash/pedestrian safety laws in the US (I think related to them being classed as commercial vehicles), despite every other car on the road there being a pickup.

Murica, vehicles with sharp edges and assault rifles at walmart is where freedom is at.

It's going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.

What's next? When you press the brake padel the car is going to assume that you want to slow down? Wow, that's some fantastic wisdom from Tesla!

By tesla's logic, it'll assume that you want to slow down, and will speed up to make you slow down faster

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

The harder you push the pedal the more you want your speed to decrease, obviously. But if you push it hard enough then the decrease from your current speed to Zero is no longer enough. So now the engineers need to decide if you'll speed up first, so the decrease from the new speed to zero is larger, or if it'll slam you into reverse instead.
