I've been watching robotics take over human jobs in factory automation for last 20 years.
This is just the next evolution.
Ps- I'm not happy about what I've been seeing. People worry about unions to keep their jobs but robotics have been making humans obsolete at an accelerated rate.

"Tesla (TSLA) topped EV delivery estimates for fourth-quarter 2023, reporting a total of 484,507 for the quarter and nearly 1.81 million for the year"
I wonder if we're going to see another black swan event market crash aka buying opportunity early this year like we did last year.

Historically every transformational technology was predicted to make human labour obsolete instead it opened up entirely new markets and need for skilled people. Will robotics and AI finally change that equation? Don't think I'm smart enough to conceptualize the possible outcomes...

Only cuz I can go on and on about this subject. haha
This, along with other stuff, will be doom for mankind. IMO
That's all I can say in this thread.

You're so positive. What is it about "updated" Autopilot that you think is an improvement?
Are you referring to their "high fidelity" 360? While I agree it does add some benefit, it's just weird implementation. Maybe you can share a picture of how it looks? They're certainly trying to add more features, like blind spot indicator. But these things are still in their embryo stage.

Here are some examples of how they have updated Parking Assist:

Also as you mentioned, blind spot monitoring. Yes, these are in their infancy stages, but the difference here is that Tesla will continue to update their software and make improvements, while other car makers in most cases are stuck where they are. It will be more difficult to update current tech. Those wanting the latest will need to basically buy a new car

In other news, since Tesla's FSD was recalled because it did not monitor the driver and nag them enough 99% of all other cars have been recalled because they don't monitor the driver at all.

Turns out Swedes are not so bothered by Tesla's anti-union stance.

Here's an interesting one:
Martin Tripp, a past Tesla employee and whistleblower who anonymously told news outlets that the automaker was wasting raw materials at the Sparks, Nevada Gigafactory it operates, owes Tesla $425,000, a figure that was agreed upon to settle a lawsuit that accused him of stealing confidential data.
A new report from Bloomberg states that Tesla urged a judge on Tuesday to not allow Tripp to use bankruptcy to get out of paying the company the $425,000 fee.
$400,000 was used to settle the suit that accused him of stealing the data, and an additional $25,000 in sanctions was applied as he posted court documents online in violation of an order a judge gave him during the trial.
Tripp had been making payments to Tesla to settle the debt, but in September, he filed for bankruptcy. Tesla does not feel he should be bailed out by using it to get out of paying the penalties that he agreed to in 2020 to settle the suit.
Tesla and Tripp have been in a very public legal dispute since 2018, when he came forward with claims that the automaker was not responsibly handling raw materials. He was fired for making the claims after Tesla found out he had come forward, and then legal matters followed as the company sued him for stealing confidential data.
Tesla has not taken legal matters lightly, and has beefed up its legal team over the past several years. Musk has said that the company would make a “hardcore” legal team a few years back, which has helped Tesla avoid bad publicity and handle lawsuits that were aimed at righting wrongs from ex-employees.
Filing for bankruptcy can alleviate someone from paying legal fees or debts. Tripp became free of paying Tesla after filing for bankruptcy in September, as an automatic stay becomes effective preventing a collection on a debt as soon as the claim was filed.
Some debts, such as child support, alimony, and unpaid taxes, cannot be discharge through bankruptcy. However, legal fees are a different story.

I have very low tolerance for people that steal from work that includes data. Hope this thief doesn't wiggle out of paying.
