    The crazier and stupier shit was that part of his justification was that “people drive and they only have eyes. We should be able to do the same.”

    Its a stunningly idiotic justification, and yet here we are with millions of these “eyes only” teslas on the road.

      That’s terrifying for showing how little he understands about the problem he is attempting to solve.

      Humans use up to four senses at times to accomplish the task of driving.

        I can add more, we don’t only have five senses. Elementary school propoganda that is. Here’s all the ones I can think of while driving.

        1. Vision
        2. Hearing
        3. Tactile feedback from wheel, pedals, you could break this down further into skin tactile pressure receptors, and also receptors of muscle tension, though muscle tension and stretching receptors also involved in number 4
        4. Proprioception, where your limbs and body are in space
        5. Rotational acceleration (semi circular canals)
        6. Linear acceleration (utricle and saccule)
        7. Smell, okay this might be a stretch but, some engine issues can be smelly

        And that doesn’t even consider higher order processing and actual integration of all these things which despite all it’s gains with Ai recently can’t match all the capabilities of the brain to integrate all that information or deal with novel stimuli. Point is Elon, add more sensors to your dang cars so they’re less likely to kill people. And people aren’t even perfect at driving, why would we limit it to only our senses anyways? So dumb

      Reminds me of Mao not brushing his teeth, because tigers didn’t brush theirs either.

          Nah that would be silly.

          Did deflower a generation of young girls though, who would suffer the agony of his presumed halitosis
