Personally i think the level of violence could be a little higher still... Or way higher! Burning megafactories levels of higher.

Your self-driving Teslas literally drove a woman to the sea where it acted as her watery coffin, this was also the sister-in-law of a major Senator of the party YOU support

Can't imagine what they'd do to people you actually don't like.

I thought it was a pond on a ranch and she was drunk driving and the primary issue was the doors wouldn't open so she drowned in the car? There was also recently a Cybertruck that crashed and burst into flames and the doors wouldn't open so the teenagers inside were burned to death in what could have otherwise been a survivable crash.

The problem is the physical latch is hidden for esthetic purposes. So when something happens that cuts power to the main door release, it's not easy to find the physical latch.

So for liability purposes they get to argue that those people weren't locked in, they just didn't know the safely mechanisms well enough.

In other words, they're built to kill you and get away with it.

Yeah, I remember this at the time and while a lot of people were relishing the schadenfreude, there was still the perennial point that when UI/UX is any more difficult than it needs to be for a loathesome person, it's equally difficult for everyone else, too. And when that UI is repsonsible for fundamental safety and it's overcomplexity results in confusion during an emergency... well, yeah, there it is.

Apparently part of why they do that is because the window has to partially open for the door to open without damaging the window trim, because instead of having a frame around the window like most cars they needed to be different for *reasons*

What did he think was going to happen?

[–] Pupscent@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Like everyone down there, they feel it will happen to everyone else, not them.

He didn't mean for it to affect him, his share prices, or his job!

Insurance fraud

Elon has done some impressive things but his voice carry’s as much weight as the president. Even more. To call for civil war seems reckless and will stir up the MAGA side. So with all his money and power he isn’t able to form some kind of mediation between all parties. He could be a beacon of reason and peace with his immense wealth. Why choose this path so quickly.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because MAGA doesn't respect discourse, only shows of strength no matter how sloppy or feeble

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

MAGA is also under the false impression that liberals don't own guns.
