The probe covers 2016-2024 Model S and X vehicles with the optional system as well as 2017-2024 Model 3, 2020-2024 Model Y, and 2023-2024 Cybertruck vehicles.

Tesla’s “camera-only” approach to partially and fully autonomous driving systems, some industry experts have said, could cause issues in low-visibility conditions as the vehicles do not have a set of back-up sensors.

“Weather conditions can impact the camera’s ability to see things and I think the regulatory environment will certainly weigh in on this,” said Jeff Schuster, vice president at GlobalData.

    It’s crazy to me how long public crimes can go on before any kind of regulatory authority does anything. We’ve been reading about self-driving cars going haywire and killing people for years.

    Feels akin to Eric Adams being indicted, when there were reports of his shady dealings with Turkey for a long time. Like, what the fuck took so long? Why can I read about a crime in the newspaper years before the person is investigated?

      The complete unwillingness of anyone in the American “justice” system to do their fucking jobs is wild to me.

      Like, if nothing else, being the one guy willing to go after a big fish will catapult you into a media career if you want it.

      Why isn’t there one random rogue mayor or sheriff willing to take a big gamble and arrest someone powerful for blatantly breaking the law if for no other reason than clout? Why did no one arrest Trump for violating their mask mandates back when those existed? Why hasn’t anyone arrested Biden for violating US law by giving weapons to Israel? Or Nancy Pelosi for insider trading?

      Like, will it work in the end? Probably not but fuck it, why not try? There’s nothing legally preventing it, technically high ranking politicians are no different from anyone else and if they commit a crime in your jurisdiction you have just as much right as with anyone else to drag them out in handcuffs, book them, and throw them in a cell awaiting trial. In fact, wealthy powerful people are a huge flight risk, you should probably deny them bail.

      Computer touchers still insist that the bazingamobiles are “safer drivers than the human” smuglord (that’s the way they put it, creeps).
