Diesel pickups are for chumps

[Gman]

There's another video out there of a Tesla tagging a deer. I have to give the Tesla credit for accelerating that quickly from a stop to make sure the deer didn't limp away from it.

"That just saved my ass."

Dude, the car just slowed to a stop in front of you. You obviously weren't paying attention.

Loved the guy that crossed over into the oncoming lane to still hit the pig.

Show us some immobile objects that the Tesla autopilot accelerates into.

Leftwits say they are about "the greater good"... but inventions like this make people SOFT.
The more Americans rely on this kind of tech, the easier it will be to conquer us in the future...
by say, people who live like dogs in a desert and want us dead.

I'm sure there are people on this site that will disagree, think that the tech "makes us better"
And that's true... temporarily.
Take that tech away after we're dependent on it, and as a people we're WEAK.

Most people will start to depend on it... and stop paying any attention.
Why Bother, the car will stop for me.

We're doomed... it's only a matter of time.

You get too dependent on the technology to do the job for you and you can have this when the technology isn't there;

I bet it was a diesel.

I bet it was a diesel.

Kid died 5 yrs ago, too soon?

It's believed she was already dead, thrown from the aircraft.

I'm not implying anything here, but isn't this just pretty much the Unibomber's manifesto?

I suppose so, just that his "line in the sand" was much further back, and his methods were quite extreme.


I'm thinking more along the lines of the plane crash that Gman posted, on a smaller scale... probably an "auto-pilot challenge" in social media at some point where young people with little purpose in life start driving their car at high rates of speed at objects to make the collision avoidance system kick in, and post the videos on Utube

[Irving]

That's a bet I would take.

Meaning I think that will happen.
