Tesla has massive market penetration there. The state would lose a ton of revenue by doing this. They already chased out Elon. It's like they hate taxpayers.

Make like prince, “the supervised software formerly known as FSD.”

 

[ABILISK]

Still call it FSD. Just say it’s a mode “For Supervisory Drivers”

 

[mbrockus]

I can’t imagine the taxpayer money wasted on this.

Since they are on it, might it also go after Muscle Milk (which has no actual milk in it,) Just Mayo (it's egg-free and plant-based,) Chock full o'Nuts coffee (it's nut-free,) Grape-Nuts (it has neither grapes nor nuts,) etc., etc.

Oh, and that's not chicken in the Chicken of the Sea! Lol.

But at least everyone knows all those things can cause cancer and birth defects. FSD probably can too, somehow.

It’s the windmills bruh. WTF? Did your mom take Tylenol while carrying you?

@ABILISK to mom: “mama, did you take Tylenol while you were pregnant with me?”

@ABILISK’s mom: “Only when I was hung over”

Isn’t FSD, Full Supervised Driving ? lol

And they have the brilliance to do this the same week they have removed the monitors in Austin Robotaxis?
People are posting videos of complete drives from their garage to a destination. Tesla will probably tie this up in court long enough to have FSD approved by the Feds or some states making this moot.

Great solution for a revised name! I hate the regulatory nonsense in CA, but they have a point. It should have been called SSD from the start- Supervised Self Driving, and not called FSD until full autonomy is achieved. just sayin…

They removed 2 monitors and they both have chase vehicles for testing.

Does this mean they are ready to really remove safety drivers and give rides? Maybe, but we won't know until they do.

Elon already said that it will just be a few cars at first covering a small area, but we don't know when that will take place.

Also, Austin is heavily mapped and has it's own version. It's unknown if Tesla will need to do that in every city, but they did in Austin even making some different intersections restricted. There are currently 29 RTs with safety drivers in Austin and 2 cars with chase cars testing without a person in the drivers seat, but are not providing rides.

Elon is amazing but his ego does get in the way sometimes.

 

[cyberjeff25]

A guy who will be worth a trillion dollars when space x goes public - all made from companies he started- has an inflated ego? Shocking…

Everyone's knows? Highly doubt it. Majority of Americans probably don't know and trust our FDA and USDA to not allow toxic ingredients in our foods.
