    If you don't heed the warning it will pull over.

    Far safer than you driving I’m sure. The rate of incidents in self driving are extremely low; far lower than under a person driving.

    Isn’t this kind of the problem? Those on the right are ideologically against non polluting cars, and those on the left hate Elon.

    I had an uber ride home from DFW recently and the guy had what seemed like one of the nicer Teslas and on the expressway he engaged the self driving feature. It was really cool. Not sure I’m ready for one now but perhaps in 5 years.

    The point being his political hijinx have really alienated his customer base which has historically been mostly those on the left.

    While you may be an exception many on the right seem to have this strange fixation on fossil fuels and view anything green as “woke”

    I am by occupation a farmer. Farmers are historically "green" even though they are not perceived that way. Farmers want to preserve the land, don't want pollution, and want safe products. While many farmers drive big trucks by necessity, we are ultimately conservationists.

    This is pretty common for factories for retooling and maintenance. I’ve seen Rivian do it several times in the last two years.

    I installed a Comma 3x running OpenPilot in my vehicle. It is remarkably capable turning a modern vehicle into a capable semi-autonomous vehicle.

    That was mind blowing.

    A bit disturbing too--technological revolutions always are--but damn... Elon Musk is amazing.

    (Our neurotic TDS inflicted Lefties will surely decry that as fanboiism...but @#$% it... dude is bad ass. Strsight up).
