Maybe we just dont have oligarchs in government, yeah?
Me n the boys with our pocket guillotines
ā¦ Is that an AI generated thing or an actual physical item?
I love the gag, but if someone actually made it I assume it has an actual use and the things that come to mind that would fit in that hole frighten me.
Mel Brooks had a gag in one of his movies where he was a rabbi who carried a pocket guillotine.
Itās called an ITAR violation, and itās probably more than just EV parts.
The sad part is, that allowing Elon to export āFull Self Drivingā or whatever other technology to China wonāt even help Tesla that much, and will even harm the company in the long term:
The Chinese will just copy/steal the technology, because all foreign investment is through joint ventures with local corporations, and give it to their domestic manufacturers, like they did and continue to do with all other offshored production that winds up in their hands.
As a recent spate of articles about GM, Honda and Nissan, tells us, the Chinese domestic manufacturers now own 60% market share.
Teslaās market share in China has dropped in nearly half over the last 3 months from 9/24 - 12/24, from 6.43% to 3.39%, and that was already down from 9% in 2023.
No, you donāt understand. FSD canāt be copied because itāll be entirely server side, and hosted in the USA!
Hope your ping times donāt spike while making a left turn in a busy intersection.
Bit off topic maybe but isnāt Teslas self-driving setup the worst of all implementations? Iām no expert but i thought the cars only used cameras and other companies were closer to full autonomy (though none have achieved it)
FSD is less reliable compared to say Googleās Waymo. GMās Cruise gave up on autonomous driving
Chinaās dubious state media, says their autonomous robotaxis are quite safe, and theyāre rolling out fleets of them in major cities already
But Iām sure that bits and bobs in Teslaās FSD systems have some value to someone.
