Elon Musk Stormed Into the Tesla Office Furious That Autopilot Tried to Kill Him

  • "He came up with a simple solution: getting the lane lines repainted on that pesky curve — which of course, didn't actually address the underlying problem."

    This is why Musk is not a technological genius or a technological thinker of any degree. If he was, he would've had a spark of a thought in that shallow brain of his, that says there could've been a more broader approach to tackle things like unpainted curves. Like thinking how the software could identify what's a curve and what isn't.

    No, his solution is to just go around and repaint every curve possible.

    • Good luck with that around here, Elon.

    • My first thought, because I am smarter than Elon, is that better road lines, especially those that are embedded in the asphalt/cement so they truly can't wear out, would be another good business idea.

  • "Do something to program this right," he repeatedly demanded, as quoted in the biography.

    Why doesn’t gEnIuS cOdEr musk just do it himself

  • I don't want to be a fanboy, but I'm still hopeful that eventually we have enough accessible computing power (individually) such that the self-driving car can be trained end-to-end with "easily" 🤞🏻
