@OGMarsLife @grok @ChuckCook Fallback will just mean waking you up🤷

Some additional @Tesla Cybercab info from the official documents: • Cybercab includes an Active Hood that raises during certain pedestrian impacts to reduce injuries. • Cybercab has pressurized air canisters and cameras washers. • If a Cybercab is in the roadway or in a dangerous position, first responders can manually move the vehicle using on-board vehicle controls. • At least 10 airbags: Front airbags, Knee airbags, Inner seat-mounted side airbags, Outer seat-mounted side airbags and Curtain airbags. • The interior door handles of Cybercab have two detents, with the second detent acting as the emergency mechanical release. • Cybercab window switches are situated underneath the touchscreen. • Cybercab uses both a 400V high-voltage battery and a 48V low-voltage battery. • Cybercab Robotaxi is equipped with Tesla’s SAE Level 4 automated driving system: "When in Autonomous Mode, the vehicle is designed to be capable of performing the entire dynamic driving task without any input from a human driver." • Opening a door or unbuckling a passenger's seat belt automatically causes the Robotaxi to disengage and park. • The battery pack coolant is orange in color. • There are two First Responder Loops for redundancy - one under the hood and one behind the passenger-side B-pillar. • The charge port is centered below the trunk instead of on the rear fender (we knew this already) • Cybercab has a manual emergency charge cable release hidden behind the rear wheel liner. • The vehicle has exterior microphones and speakers for two-way communication with Tesla Robotaxi Support. • While waiting for a new ride booking, Cybercab Robotaxi roams its area of operation or proceeds to a charging station or parking lot. • If the Battery charge level is too low to conduct another ride, Cybercab Robotaxi proceeds to a charging station before accepting new ride bookings. • If Cybercab Robotaxi experiences connectivity or hardware issues, the hazard lights flash rapidly and the vehicle attempts to pull over at the nearest safe stopping location. • Cybercab Robotaxi is also designed to respond to clearly visible hand signals from first responders and can follow pathways designated by cones. Tesla: "The Cybercab Robotaxi operational design domain includes all public roadways, such as freeways, highways, city streets, and rural roads, as well as private roadways and service stations, such as parking lots, charging stations, car washes, and parking garages. Cybercab Robotaxi is also capable of navigating pick- up and drop-off zones to initiate or complete trips. Cybercab Robotaxi can operate autonomously at all times of day and night, and under light and moderate precipitation such as rain, fog, and snow. Cybercab Robotaxi does not accept new rides when extreme weather conditions are expected. If unexpectedly caught by extreme weather conditions, Cybercab Robotaxi is designed to pull over at the nearestsafe stopping location and park. Tesla Robotaxi Support is then notified and can recover the vehicle and/or passengers."

Imagine if, in the aftermath of 9/11, someone told you within 25 years someone like this would be getting elected in NYC — would you have believed it?

New York City just elected Aber Kwas to their State Senate. This is her blaming 9/11 on America because of our “system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and islamophobia.”

If you’re over 80 years old and you’re buying a new vehicle, I think it should be law that it’s a Tesla with FSD. Also, Tesla should waive FSD subscription cost for 80+ year olds.

Michael Crichton is such a fascinating figure and it is a goddamn shame he died so young This guy got into Harvard Medical School and said "actually, I want to write stories" so he wrote one of the most harrowing long short stories, the Andromeda Strain. This guy was addicted to research. He read scientific journals for fun and researched everything that captured his interest. He was curious and skeptical. He thought hard about the implications of technology all the time. And, instead of being a dork and writing a blog, he wrote entire novels warning about the dangers of emerging technologies. And they were great! He wrote a `Prey` about the dangers of combining AI with nanobots 24 years ago. It's tremendous. You could publish it today and it would be relevant. I miss him. I miss technically competent authors who can spin a good yarn while informing the reader about how technology is changing the world. Crichton was a generational talent and we are poorer for his absence.

Love this! I've been retired for a few years now and don't miss the grind in the least. I now spend at least half my days being driven around the country by my robot tank, showing up to learn about the lives of family and friends from my past, meet new friends and family, share the experience of the abundant future that Elon is willing into existence, and ask at every stop - how can the Beast and I be useful 🫡🫶🏻

@Teslaconomics 🎯💯😎 20+ hours of this👇🏻🔥 ...got me 🫣🤣

Everyone tells me that Elon Musk is a fascist because he could "solve world hunger" for a mere 3 billion dollars, but MacKenzie Bezos has burned through 26 billion dollars of her ex husband's money and accomplished absolutely nothing of note.

Jeff Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott has given over $26,300,000,000 to charity, making her one of the biggest individual donors in history. She wants to spend the majority of her Bezos fortune on helping others and making the world a better place.

Not a dick measuring contest. Just a difference of incentives. Trump Tower was built privately. Private capital has to earn its keep and people actually have to choose to stay there, buy a condo, or lease space. Bad design or function gets punished fast with empty rooms, lost revenue, and real pain for the builder. That’s why you get something tall, useful, and still valuable decades later. The Obama library is a legacy project with roughly the same money. Foundations, donors, and public land perks funded it. The people writing the big checks aren’t the daily users, and there’s no monthly rent test forcing constant improvement. And the result is a lot of “iconic”, whatever that means, and not much everyday value. (And they made it ugly) The TLDR is that free markets don’t promise perfection, but they do make waste expensive and reward what people voluntarily pay for. Different incentives, different buildings.

I’ll end the practice of “sanctuary cities” in Ohio after I’m elected, full stop. The rule of law is fundamental to our country & we can’t abandon it in our cities.

Vice President Vance makes the one argument about the 2020 election fraud that even Bill Maher’s audience had to clap for. Maher did everything in his power to discredit it, but Vance had already won the moment. MAHER: “Can you tell me you will do that? Will you bring us back to the middle at least on that, where we concede elections, where it’s not either one of those two options?” VANCE: “Okay, Bill, so this is where I’m probably going to lose you here.” MAHER: “Uhhh...that happened about eight minutes ago.” [Vance cracks up] VANCE: “Look, I don’t think that we should not concede elections but I don’t think that’s what’s going on.” “I think if you go back, if you go back to the president’s core argument, he was making an argument about problems that exist in 2020 and here’s the problem I’m most focused on...” “Set to the side the stuff that really gets you and your audience very angry, about whether the count was legitimate in Georgia or Pennsylvania or any of these other states.” “Is it true that large technology companies, some of whom have financial interests that exist outside the United States of America, were they censoring information in the run up to an election?” “And set to the side, again, the Georgia stuff—” MAHER: “No, that was litigated. Dominion, the Fox News...” VANCE: “No, Bill, I’m actually trying to make the more middle ground argument here.” “The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information about the left and promoting negative information about the right.” “So in a fundamental sense, like, if the First Amendment says we have a free and open debate and the American people judge on that free and open debate, the sense in which I think the election in 2020 was rigged, I’m sorry, is that you had technology companies that were putting their thumb on the scale in a way that completely obliterated the real open exchange of ideas.” “By the way, it didn’t happen in 2024 but it happened in 2020 and it was a problem.” [Audience applauds]

The Democratic establishment deserves a slow clap here. Really. Bravo. They spent years building the perfect little political terrarium: NGOs, activist salaries, university grievance factories, donor cash, media protection, blue-city patronage, “equity” rackets, and taxpayer-funded do-gooder laundromats all humming along under the sacred banner of “Our Democracy.” Then they looked at the radicals crawling around inside and said, “Surely these people will remain manageable.” Absolutely brilliant, guys. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries now look like substitute teachers trying to take attendance during a prison riot. The donors are sweating through their custom suits. The consultants are pretending this is just a “messaging challenge.” The media is polishing the same old turd and calling it “youth energy.” No, champ. This is not youth energy. This is the bill. You told them America was evil. You told them capitalism was theft. You told them police were the enemy. You told them borders were immoral. You told them every institution had to be “decolonized,” “reimagined,” or burned down and rebuilt by people with sociology degrees and untreated rage. Now they believe you. And worse, they want promotions. That is the humiliation. The party bosses thought they were renting radicals by the hour. Turns out the radicals thought they were being trained to run the place. Democrats built the hive, fed the hive, defended the hive, and called anyone who noticed a conspiracy theorist. Now the hive has the keys. Enjoy the buzzing. (article below)

A young SpaceX employee asked Elon what happens if they fail to reach Mars in his lifetime. The room was full of engineers and the question landed heavier than anyone expected. It was a simple question but it cut to the core of everything SpaceX exists for. The entire company, every late night, every exploded prototype, every engineer who missed their kid's birthday for a launch window, it all points at Mars. What if it doesn't happen in time? Elon paused. He said that the goal was never for him personally to walk on Mars. The goal was to build the infrastructure that makes it inevitable. That even if he dies before the first crew lands, the system he built would carry the mission forward without him. He said the rockets, the factories, the team, the culture, all of it is designed to outlast any single person. Including him. Especially him. Then he said something that reportedly moved people in the room. He said that if he thought success depended on him being alive, he would have already failed. The whole point is building something that doesn't need its founder to keep going. He compared it to a cathedral. The architects of medieval cathedrals knew they would die before the building was finished. They designed it anyway. They poured their life into something they would never see completed because the completion wasn't the point. The commitment was. SpaceX is his cathedral. He may never set foot on Mars. But the road between here and there will exist because he refused to accept that nobody was building it. The most ambitious man alive has already made peace with the possibility that his greatest achievement might happen after he's gone. That's not failure. That's faith in something bigger than yourself.

@dr__dwayne @rhensing Keep on believing that, retard 🤣🙄
