Yes, it's for that safety ring in case of a high speed blowout.

Here's, what I am reasonably sure, is a car:

Not that bad, $85 K maybe. 1 of 2100. All new driveline and suspension. All new electronics and gages. Everything's new but the body/frame. 300 miles.

Nothing like a clock on the steering column to help you drive safely.

Airbags and clocks in radios killed this idea.

And this concludes the latest episode of Gravdigr Speaks Out Of His Ass...

Stay tuned, folks.

Tesla's "Full Self-driving" video

BigV · 04-22-2019, 11:39 PM

That guy is haulin ass!

xoxoxoBruce · 04-23-2019, 01:35 AM

At stop signs the car decides if it's safe to go? I wonder if it avoids potholes and is aware if it's in a state where passing on the right is legal?

Diaphone Jim · 04-23-2019, 11:09 AM

That car would have to come with restraints to keep the "driver's" hands off the wheel and Attends to, well you know what.

I admire Elon Musk's space stuff, but he is doing the environment no favors with the Tesla and abetting the huge scam of self-driving vehicles with this crap.

I wrote about this before, but when I test-drove my old boss's Model X, it was smart enough to autopilot on the highway. And it was a revelation.

I was confident in the car while it was driving -- it did a perfect job of it -- and when it came time for me to take the wheel back, I was suddenly NOT confident in my own abilities. Tracking the lane at 60 MPH? I am obviously worse at it than the car.

I read up on yesterday's Autonomy day presentation. Tesla has designed their own custom CPU so the car can do all the above. Teslas are really more computers than cars, now.

Musk says full autonomy by 2020. Musk says Tesla owners will be able to add their own cars to the Tesla self-driving taxi fleet, when they aren't using them. Musk says Tesla owners will be able to make more than the cost of the car by doing that. So Musk says it is financially irresponsible to buy anything else, especially since Teslas will actually improve over time, making them less of a financial risk. Musk says all the self-driving companies using LIDAR are going to be behind in the game.

We shall see!

xoxoxoBruce · 04-24-2019, 12:20 AM

Let strangers go joyriding in my car when I'm not using it? That's crazy talk.

Autonomous cars will have a PR problem for a long time. Even if/when they are statistically much safer than human-driven cars, and even when the novelty of an autonomous car crash is no longer a news story on its own, they will still make mistakes that no human would ever make (because they aren't human), and therefore remain in the news.

They will also be a big headache for insurance companies to sort out.
Not my fault, the car was driving itself. I can't be charged with a violation or a higher insurance rate, go see Elon.
