Half Life 1 and 2 both feel like quantum leaps into the future in this context.

But I am glad that Mirror’s Edge got the feature, just on style alone :) Portal too (and Portal 2)

I’m sort of baffled by the range. “Ten or so” is the commonly reported number I saw, so I ran with that, but I have also seen higher estimates.

Like, surely, Tesla needs to report the exact number to the state, right? How is it possible that we don’t know, it’s just such a bootleg setup.

There are 1,500 Waymos on the road presently (not 1,500 to 3,000), which Waymo themselves announce because Waymo isn’t a circus act: https://waymo.com/blog/2025/05/scaling-our-fleet-through-us-manufacturing

The human safety operator just placidly smiling as he drops them off directly in an intersection (in the line of travel of a pickup truck) was pretty funny.

As if to say: “Go on. Go out and get what you paid for.”

I’ve noticed that, too.

The speed signage is nice when the car picks it up, but I’d call mine 80% accurate. Imperfect, but fine for a driver assist, I know not to rely on it.

Crazy move to put it in a 99.9999%-accuracy-required design.

It’s just bananas.

Hard to put a finger on it, but there’s persistent questions about stock price fixing. A constant joke across Tesla-watching forums. I wouldn’t touch that stock with a ten foot pole, it’s got a fuse and I’d bet dollars to donuts it is already lit.

Not mutually exclusive. Why not both?

Weirdly, no XD

Waymo is an Alphabet… bet?

Alphabet: -7% YoY Tesla: +74% YoY

The brownshirt fanboys are an underestimated financial market force. Throw official corruption into the mix. And why not untraceable crypto money from god-knows-who, because the 4d chess board was just too simple without it.

Probably the European sales report – which Fortune helpfully reported as a sign that the sales hemorrhage is “bottoming out,” despite there being absolutely zero evidence to that effect XD

My bad! I sort of suck at writing headlines… that’s on me, I get feedback like that from time to time, and it’s fair more often than not.

Not intentional, I just am not a very good at this whole “journalism” thing.

I figured the cars pointed at the Robotaxi at the 7:20 mark were “oncoming traffic,” but I can totally see where you’re coming from, on closer inspection, using the “Wrong Side of the Road” language would have been clearer that “Oncoming” to describe it.

Tesla bros: “I heard that jaywalker was a TSLA shortseller.”

Aw jeez, did you copy/paste this message onto every board where this story got posted? XD

Also… wait, I recognize your name. You’re a Mod on the SpaceX board, aren’t you? I thought you said you weren’t a fan of Musk?

Edit: Aren’t you a mod on the SpaceX board? I’m not sure I trust you when you say you’re “not a fan of Tesla or Musk” considering you run a fan club for one of Musk’s companies XD

I’m the automotive equivalent of a muckraker, so yeah, Tesla does enough weird stuff that I talk about them a lot. They’re hardly the ONLY news I cover.

Take this article, for instance, it was on the front page of Hacker News for a couple days, got decent circulation in European automotive magazines, too: https://fuelarc.com/tech/pop-up-ads-in-your-jeep-the-latest-stellantis-innovation/

Believe what you like, but the videos in that article are just videos, it’s not like those aren’t first-hand driving footage just because you dislike where you found them.

I was a Waymo stan before Tesla made it cool!

Seriously, though. I am an avowed enemy of the grim reaper, I’m a fan of Volvos for the same reason. And I like how transparent Waymo is with their data. The independent study linked is really illuminating if you like automotive safety stats.

That part really pissed me off.

I think folks see it for what it is. Sales are cratering, public spaces that are not twitter are increasingly intolerant of the Tesla fanboys glazing the supposed tech advantage ( that we can see with our own eyes is not real )

Leave it to GM to find a way to thread the needle and seize defeat from the jaws of victory.

Guy in a Dogecoin t-shirt and a neckbrace: “i-i-it was r-r-really great.”

This put a smile on my face.

No kidding, they fail you if you DON’T come to a complete stop.

I covered that crash.

FSD is never enabled at the moment of impact, because FSD shuts off less than a second before impact, so that Tesla’s lawyers and most loyal fans can make exactly the arguments you are making. Torque would be applied to the steering wheel when any vehicle departs the roadway, as the driver is thrown around like a ragdoll as they clutch the wheel. Depending on the car, torque can also be applied externally to the tires by rough terrain to shift the steering wheel.

No evidence to suggest the driver was distracted. Prove me wrong if you have that evidence.

Also welcome to the platform, new user!

Guess what? People already do that.
