Mr hackerman couldn’t get to the car because it crashed first due to a software bug the customer did not have time to take his car to the shop to fix.

The real world is quite different than the idealistic one.

You do realize your entire first point is invalidated by the comment you’re replying to? I just said the customer has to press a button on their phone to initiate the update. On that same phone they can view release notes that clearly outline the recall. Additional on first use, the car will display those same release notes on the screen.

Sure, safety vs convenience is a huge factor in software development. The biggest factor to safety is unpatched software. You know, the kind that requires significant effort to update, such as needing to bring your car into the shop to apply.

Overall your doom and gloom argument against OTA safety updates is pretty weak.

Right, because the recall for the icons on the screen needing to be a tad bigger is as serious as uncontrolled acceleration of a giant hunk of metal.

They need a new name for software update recalls and physical recalls. They both need to be serious, but a distinction is needed.

Recalls still require the customer to take action. They’re much less likely to go into the shop to have it fixed than press a button on their phone and have the car fix itself overnight.

Your suggestion for not allowing safety software fixes OTA is dangerous.

Content has always been available, but the number of people pirating decreased. It’s now having a resurgence.

not sure why it was an issue running the two separate sites until now.

Because that’s twice the maintenance cost? The better question is why did they take so long after the merge to shut one of them down.

Servers and engineers to maintain the software and infrastructure are also not free.

Batteries are over 90% recyclable. They’re actually pretty environmentally friendly after the first round.

Good to note that the mobile phones survived as well

Small company: yeah, we hired too many people, need to let go of 170.

People: such huge cuts, not touching them anymore

Large company: we’re laying off the entire staff of pre-Elon Twitter worth of employees in this one department because they didn’t make us enough money.

People: good, your product sucked anyways

This application needs the opposite of that. They need lots and lots of cycles, easy to maintain, and density is not much of an issue.

They didn’t say react all at once. I bet you it’s a much slower ramp up.

Tesla’s biggest downfall is probably going to be the fact that they called this system Autopilot. It still requires drivers to pay attention. These drivers still treat it as a driver replacement then everyone wonders why they crash.

Airbnb has basically become “hotel prices, but the cost is hidden behind cleaning fees”. Also, hotels basically stopped giving a shit after the pandemic. No loss here.

Yes, but also much less efficient due to the angles. These panels are either completely flat or completely vertical. Ideal conditions have them facing south at an angle.

By having every large corporation using your products to operate their businesses.

Too late, it’s been shit for years now.

As soon as the author started absolutely trashing on the looks of the car, I was done.

It’s the same concept as working at a FAANG company. Yes, they’re going to run you rugged, but you’ll make bank and it will be great for your resume. There is a reason Google added all these in office amenities to encourage people to not go home.

Better use a teleprompter than have them spend an additional $500 to reshoot it.
