    Ridiculous. A car is nothing like a plane and stupid Tesla drivers are not pilots. They should just call it "lane assist" and "cruise control" like everyone else.

    How about calling it "lane assist" and "cruise control". It isn't "piloting" anything. Of course that would upset the Tesla fanboys though. They think their $60k metal box is special.

  3. It also caused reduction to TRAFFIC too. Truly groundbreaking reporting.

    I am not dumb enough to short a fanboy stock like Tesla. It is you guys who are obsessed with Musk who keep posting stories whenever he spews his drivel on Twitter.

    "All it can do is to follow the lane markings, follow the car ahead at a fixed distance, make lane changes when commanded. That is all".

    Hmmm, then why call it "autopilot"? Many cars have follow the lane markings (lane centering) and follow the car features (adaptable cruise control). Why call it "autopilot"?

    Right. It is normal to call "cruise control" and "lane assist" as autopilot in the industry. You Tesla fanboys are unbelievable. Total reality distortion field.

    Not an outlier. Most large universities have endowments in the billions.

    I didn't say anything about MBAs or CEOs. You would be surprised how many rich people there are.

    Give me a break. When a rich moron climbs into his overpriced car he is thinking "hey its autopilot. It will take me where I want to go and I don't need to do anything". Tesla fanboys are ridiculous.

  10. Yeah, until Musk figured it out. Good thing we have him.

    A.K.A "Cruise control". That is what "auto pilot" means (plus lane assist and following). More Tesla hype. Why don't they just call it "driver assist" rather than the misleading "auto pilot"? Pure stupidity.

    But it is "auto pilot". That means it drives itself. Right? Auto. Pilot.

    Eh, no big deal. It will be fixed in the next patch. Or maybe the one after that.

    Driver input means "hands on the steering wheel". Just more malarky.

  16. No, but I know a guy who did in the 13th century. How amazing!

    It runs into the back of the bus. But Musk said on Twitter it will probably be solved in the next over the air update.

  18. I needed my hourly update on Musk's twitter account. Thanks Rei!

    That's great. I was worried that corporations were paying too much for launch costs. Truly a major problem on the planet.

    "Odd"means against the groupthink. I agree. Somehow I don't think launching satellites is newsworthy. Somehow when Musk does it, it become groundbreaking.

  21. Wealthy people care a lot about $7k. That is why they are wealthy.

  22. I have similar results for "AI". A lot of press releases and white papers but nothing that is really more than computers running algorithms.
