I rode in a Tesla for the first time yesterday and apparently drivers are putting up with with a constantly flickering, incredibly glitchy rendering of the car’s knowledge of surrounding objects being juggled around like hot potatoes on the huge display panel. Would you prop up a full size iPad Pro on your dashboard as you drive, playing a YouTube highlight reel of Russian dash cam near-misses? No? Then why would you simulate that experience with these grey ghost cars, of which, in the 20 nauseating minutes I watched them, every single one appeared to be an imminent collision, poking into our lane? I hope Tesla is internally in shambles leadership-wise, because I would hate to be the person that gave the green light to shipping that and not be able to blame it on endemic dysfunction. What a farce. |

I've never been in one (and don't intend to), but that precisely describes what I imagine being in a Tesla to be like from watching videos of it.
The funniest one I've seen was the one where they were following a truck full of stop signs, and it appeared on the screen like a bubble machine endlessly creating stop signs.
These things are funny to watch but terrifying to me that something this half-baked could be released into the public.
There's also the recent one where it was going to drive the car directly into a pole until the driver grabbed the wheel at the last moment.
It's definitely a hard problem, but I believe that Tesla's hubris will NOT be rewarded.
