I’m not sure about Glenn Greenwald, but this author seems extremely left / socialist. Here’s a tweet where he calls for Silicon Valley to be nationalized. I would take that into account.

The anti Tesla rhetoric of car & driver has turned me off this publication. They are not being intellectually honest. Anyone who has driven these cars knows that “hands free”, “self driving”, or whatever you want to call it is not able to compete with Tesla. Regardless of what you think of Elon this is dishonest. What a shame.

I thought their description of Tesla was also strange.

So are they claiming that all the other (at least SAE 2) systems don’t ask you to wiggle the steering or pay attention every 30 seconds?

Very strange mincing of words and doesn’t smell right to me.

That’s simply not true. There are three spots on my way to work that both autopilot and fsd freak out and start braking for no reason. Ford blue cruise handles the spots without issue.

Maybe Tesla is ahead in Silicon Valley, they aren’t anywhere else in my experience. On paper does FSD “do more”? Sure, but that’s because other manufacturers aren’t willing to risk killing their customers and hoping their usage policy will protect them.

It is Elon that is dishonest. He has been selling "Full Self Driving" for how many years now?

In your opinion, what mistakes were made?

Stock buybacks is a big mistake. Giving up on foundry efforts was another one. Intel’s 10 nm debacle was a third mistake.

It boggles my mind that a news sources job is to “convert” people. Wow…

Could you explain why?

One could make the argument that the time, effort and coordination that it takes to go to the library and also coordinate a counter signature is more expensive than the cost per envelope.
