It’s so frustrating that something anybody even only peripherally aware of attempts to automate driving knew for years is only slowly coming out while the Apartheid Edgelord gets richer and richer from his lethal lies.

    I might accept the manual transmission since you have to be a bit more engaged to actually make the car drive but the rest? Nah man. A modern car that isn’t self driving but has lane assist, backup cameras, and auto brakes is going to just be inherently more safe.

    A tesla where people are napping behind the wheel? Obviously a bit too far with tech that isn’t quite there.

      Agreed.

      Here in the EU my insurance gave me a rebate for every safety feature, and that’s not charity, simply them looking at the statistics. A lot of this stuff is now also legally required on new cars.
