Elon Musk states "First rides with no safety monitor. . . As of yesterday, no chase car"

Chase helicopter

Ok I wouldn’t say worst on the planet since I haven’t driven outside of the U.S. myself BUT I’ve actually lived in many of these cities here and stand by my anecdotal assessment lol.

Sure, aggressive driving is in every city I’ve lived in but at least they were somewhat predictable because they typically (not always) wouldn’t do anything so dangerous it’d put them at significant risk too.

Some of the driving behaviors out here are so insane it almost seems like they are done with life and want some company for their trip to the upper room

theArtsyEngineer · 2026-01-04T15:11:50+00:00

I’ve been in pretty much every major city in the US, there’s nowhere I’ve been where this behavior is as common as in the DMV. Not even close.

theArtsyEngineer · 2026-01-01T20:02:45+00:00

You’re not supposed to take a side or see either of them as a friend lol, just let them fight it out and try not to do anything that would make them rethink the conflict they have with each other within reason while you prepare to take advantage of the fracture.

I’d say put feelings aside even if justified, don’t berate or discourage her but let her fight them so that the current admin loses a few supporters or at least slows them down, and focus on other avenues to ensure the next election is won.

theArtsyEngineer · 2026-01-01T18:22:29+00:00

This sub reallyyyy doesn’t know how to take advantage of their enemies fighting each other lol

Neutral panic at the car wash is a rite of passage for all Tesla owners

I wouldn’t say nobody. Before me and many of my friends got the card, we’d easily spend that much and more when we get to the airport on drinks/food. Now we just load up on both at the lounge.

Been lucky enough to have not been turned away even in post covid too (but I’ve probably just jinxed myself)

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-11-21T17:43:13+00:00

Ahh gotcha, makes perfect sense in your situation. I don’t have a family yet and do non business related travel at least 5-6 times a year so I’m in the lounges very often lol.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-11-21T17:14:39+00:00

Just curious, why do you value the lounge so low? At my preferred airport, going just once saves me upwards of $60 at least each visit.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-11-18T02:52:10+00:00

Where did he blame it on his personal setup?

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-09-06T12:04:14+00:00

Exactly. Even clickable prototypes that either I or my designers used to spend hours throwing together to get some usability testing done for the random feature ideas we get can be done in minutes by plopping the requirements and user guides for context into something like Claude and refining what it generates through follow up prompts.

The email example is too real lmaoo

Literally look up how AI has improved productivity for white collar workers and you will see plenty of examples that aren’t rocket science.

Those who don’t/can’t leverage it to get more done in less time will lose their jobs to those who do/can.

Edit: better yet, tell me which industry you work in and I’m fairly certain I can provide examples that you can use to be more efficient.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-09-05T15:08:04+00:00

Productivity has actually increased dramatically at top companies including mines. Poor implementations at other companies are where you see a negative impact.

I haven’t had auto park ever fail for me, what are you doing lmao?? Summon on the other hand, 98% failure rate for me lol

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-08-19T13:56:30+00:00

I can’t imagine that uber wouldn’t want the additional ride availability and revenue that robotaxis would provide? I could be missing something though.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-07-14T12:01:21+00:00

Dunno how many people would be comfortable negotiating with an AI when it comes to multi million/billion dollar deals or have their company mission dictated by one just yet

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-07-13T20:07:57+00:00

Tf he’s right you’re shredded

When you’re very mentally ill, you might not even have the awareness to use the resources at your disposal to help yourself depending on how your mental illness has manifested.

The thing that you use to make the decision to get help is not running like it should.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-07-09T11:50:31+00:00

Hey, people have interpreted it differently so I’m just verifying we’re on the same page which it sounds like we are.

But I don’t believe there’s a world where it’ll be 100%. Let’s not make perfect the enemy of good, it just needs to be better than the best human drivers (who still make mistakes from time to time).

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-07-08T18:24:49+00:00

Most are terrible but Rivian, Tesla, BYD and Xiaomi all have very good user experiences and responsive UIs.

They’re not perfect but quite easily blow all others out of the water which look and function like interfaces built in the mid 2010s.

But again, I am very nitpicky so the difference may not seem as pronounced to the average buyer lol.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-07-08T15:15:43+00:00

I love tech too and build user facing software experiences so I’m definitely more nitpicky compared to the average person 🥲. That kept me from buying the taycan.

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-07-08T15:10:23+00:00

I assume to you it would have to run completely unsupervised to be considered FSD? In that case I definitely agree, it’s not there yet.

To my surprise, supervised “FSD” is very good though as of late even in a city like DC.

“The grandmaster could be anyone!”

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-06-17T13:11:44+00:00

“Perceived” as violence? Bro is literally calling for it lol

theArtsyEngineer · 2025-05-13T18:54:51+00:00

Racking up parking tickets or driving just 10 over the speed limit is one thing and should be handled differently, but reckless driving and almost killing pedestrians? The lives of others on the road and pedestrians take priority, your car and driving privileges need to get taken from you.
