failure every other minute. Pull it off the road.

the market immediately until they get these problems solved.

Strangely enough automobile fires are vastly more common in the vehicles equipped with a large tank of highly flammable gasoline.

EVs have five fires per billion miles traveled, while ICE vehicles have 55 fires per billion. - https://www.forbes.com/sites/neilwinton/2024/04/21/electric-vehicles-not-guilty-of-excess-short-term-fire-risk-charges/

There is a valid concern over the severity of EV fires. However, this is mostly a training issue for fire departments.

Dollars to donuts he knows something about this. ❤️

too many incidents and deaths.

There is currently no federal program that certifies autonomous vehicles.

Some states do have a regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles, but as tesla positions it’s system as an ‘advanced driver assist system’ (as do other manufacturers) they avoid regulation from these states as well.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), EVs are involved in about 25 fires per 100,000 sold, while gasoline-powered vehicles are involved in about 1,530 fires per 100,000 sold. Hybrid vehicles have an even higher rate of fires, at about 3,475 per 100,000 sold.

Musk has demanded cuts to cost of production of his cars. One way they have done this is going to cameras vs radar. Cameras cost 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of a radar device. So not able to see in visibility challenging situations.

And in full megalomaniac mode he commanded it to be so.

It was a really stupid decision that effectively crippled FSD development.

one that didn’t. However, the cameras on the new cars are sensitive enough that the new cars can park in narrower spaces than ours.

Probably never.
