I own a Model Y with hardware version 4. FSD prevented my from getting in an accident with a drunk driver. It reacted much faster to the situation than I could have. Ever since, I’m sold that in a lot of circumstances, machines can drive better than humans.

Money is apolitical. Politics is not allowed on HN.

Nothing in the guidelines says this. What it does require is "thoughtful and substantive" comments, particularly "as a topic gets more divisive."
This is ridiculous wrong and demonstrates a profound lack of insight into both the history of economics[1] and the current political calculus.
Please don't use rules as a cudgel or at least have more tact doing so.

Hacker News likes to keep conversations focused on the topic at hand. I doubt anyone here thinks politics are irrelevant. We just understand basic courtesy. If your goal is indeed to influence change, you do a massive disservice to the cause by acting immature and injecting your politics into other conversations.
Well, as everyone points out: Musk uses Tesla’s stock to fund things and Tesla’s stock is decoupled from fundamentals like revenue so that means that buying his car is decoupled from funding things. Practically a syllogism.
> mass human displacement campaign (a.k.a. Genocide)
genocide /jĕn′ə-sīd″/ noun
Great, I’m glad your dictionary is happy about deporting 5 year olds.
“Uhm aktually it’s not a genocide it’s just a fascist police state”
Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing.
The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions. Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.

So does AEB in any modern car.
Tesla fans have not realized that every car made since 2021ish can do this.
It does more than AEB. It also knows to swerve out of the way during E: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1MWml-81e0

AEB has been around since ages. Even my 2010 Mazda had it. It's nowhere near Tesla's capabilities tho. Not sure what are you trying to achieve with such dunks?
Obviously.
My 2016 Honda Civic has automatic braking (and it has lanekeep assist, so it's technologically superior to a 2026 Tesla).
