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.


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


Generally known as AES, for example from BMW available with Active Driving Assistant or Driving Assistant Plus packages.


I have a late model Audi, and a Tesla Model 3. Audi has all the bells and whistles.

Doesn't come close to the safety I feel in the Tesla. Not even close. I know anecdotal


Design of these safety features for euro cars generally aims to be invisible unless active. You don't "feel" the car in control.


then the PR worked


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?


About once a month my car makes me look like a piece of shit because the AEB gets confused by lane changes when you maintain speed coming up to slow traffic in order to wait for a good spot to move over. As you go to move over it'll flip out and brake as you slide left and no amount of gas pedal will override it so you wind up moving over a lane only to brake check that lane. Thankfully it doesn't do a full stop, just brakes for long enough to realize there's nothing there.

0/10. Someone is gonna cause a multi-car pile up with this.

I'm sure it would work great to prevent me from texting my way into the back of stopped traffic though.


Obviously.


My 2016 Honda Civic has automatic braking (and it has lanekeep assist, so it's technologically superior to a 2026 Tesla).

Money is apolitical. Politics is not allowed on HN.


> 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

    The systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group. The systematic killing of a racial or cultural group.


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.


If you have some point to make about deporting 5 years olds or whatever, don't you think it would be more persuasive without provoking a tangential discussion about your idiosyncratic definition of genocide regardless of whatever organizations agree with you?


> Multiple humanitarian organizations define mass displacement as genocide and/or ethnic cleansing.

You're mixing two things here to your advantage. Genocide is (or can be) ethnic cleansing but ethnic cleansing is not genocide. So your "and/or" does some work for you there and makes you correct. However, you said genocide not "genocide and/or ethnic cleansing". You've moved the goalposts.

It'd be odd to redefine any word that ends in '-cide' from actual killing.

> The holocaust literally started with mass deportations/detentions.

Which was ethnic cleansing.

> Then the nazis figured out that it was easier to kill detainees.

Which was the point which it became a genocide.


Depends on who you follow


> Geographically, highly AI-exposed occupations with low adaptive capacity make up a larger share of total employment in college towns and state capitals, particularly in the Mountain West and Midwest.

I live in Michigan and share a similar regional economic concern. I hope it doesn’t pan out to be true and folks have more “adaptive capacity” than assumed.


> Additionally, Meta plans to test subscriptions for AI features, such as Vibes video generation. Vibes is Meta’s AI-powered short-form video experience built into the Meta AI app that lets people create and remix AI-generated videos.

Please don’t do this Meta. It seems like social media really is in a downward spiral.


Social media has hit rock bottom a long time ago. Everything else is just digging even deeper. Problem is, people keep consuming that crap and wonder why nothing is changing for the better.


That would be a hard pass for me entering any country.


I almost want them to pass it through before the FIFA World Cup kicks off in July, and see how that affects visitor numbers. I'd like to think it would absolute tank the event (good, because also fuck FIFA, especially after their "peace prize" bullshit), but honestly I don't have faith in most people to consider this a deal-breaker for them.

My parents live in the US, they are aware (and accept) this would be a reason I wouldn't be able to visit them and instead we'd have to meet somewhere else.


I thought the same thing. Half the time I wished they would just keep quiet.


Then again, there's always Mute. Turn up your favorite music/sound or just silence. Could be good


I’m not sure if it’s a bug, but I find it frustrating that there isn’t a more efficient way to organize the grid of apps on your iOS home screen.


OpenCode has been around for a while. Was there a recent update the merits posting their main website?


I tried using Bluesky and then ended up going back to X and blocking a lot of people. Both platforms seem to have some extremely political folks when I really just want to follow tech and business news.
