Onboard helpers, bad-weather suspensions, but no crashes. WIRED asked experts to grade Tesla’s Austin autonomous taxi service—and, crucially, how to know if the system is safe.
This means, too, that Tesla hasn’t hit the milestone Musk promised back in January, when he told investors that the company would launch “unsupervised full self-driving as a paid service in Austin in June … no one in the car.”
Back in 2015 he claimed fully autonomous driving would be available in 3 years (by 2018) and since then it was always a year or two away. Why does anyone believe anything he says?
“From a technology standpoint, Tesla will have a car that can do full autonomy in about three years, maybe a bit sooner.”
Kind of disingenuous to say that. He has some sort of weird nerd charisma. Prior to him revealing how much of an asshole he is, he had way more people that thought he was cool, myself included.
Trump has always been a petty shithead loser. He was mocked back in the 80s for being creepy around women, running failed businesses, and not paying his contractors.
The only way for someone to think he was some awkward autistic rizz master. Was to be fooled.
At one point it was possible to not be paying attention. Getting distracted by the smoke screen etc. But even the most basic look into him and his history. No one would ever mistake him for someone with charisma or talent.
Unless you consider money charisma. I really can’t agree with you or understand where you’re coming from. Anyone who’s ever known the man as a peer or personally pretty much universally hates him for good reason. Including his Ex-Wives, his father, even his children, and that ghoul Peter Thiel.
People liked the concept of boosted Space travel, Electric vehicles, etc. Musk was smart to invest in them. But he had no contribution of note to any of those companies other than his money. No one ever cared for musk anymore than that. And then once his erol-ness was on full display finally the people who had been fooled had to acknowledge reality.

Because people are, by and large, both forgiving to charismatic people and hopeful.
Sure, but Elon isn’t charismatic in the slightest.
I don’t think Musk or Trump have any charisma, but apparently a lot of people see (inherited) wealth as charisma.

Yet he has charisma for a certain demographic.
Yeah, morons who believe anything wealthy people say. Just like Musk.
No it isn’t.

I would argue that the charisma is what allows him to fool people and put up that smoke screen, and you can’t argue that many have not been fooled.
