Paywall :-(

You may not notice, but there are devices that can measure the distance that a car travels, even for a long distance, and with a super high precision.

Car manufacturers have such devices. I have seen a few.

This guy must have worked at Tesla before, and there he did their calculations of future achievements.

I have this same acc for probably >20 years now. But you should not think that they would get smarter! They still want to me to verify my age from time to time.

(I do never comply, of course, because all personal data there is either missing or fake)

Yes, you are winning, of course you are. You are winning big time, greatest win of all times, very greatest, and nobody (left) who could deny that.

this is the latest step in a deliberate effort to sabotage the functioning of the US

You got that right.

Sometimes I think he competes a little too hard with his boss in that new sport:

Making it difficult to tell reality from satire.

Level 5 is easy to understand even for musk

Disagree.

He says “all” and he probably thinks “all”, but the meaning of it is always “nearly all”. I say, he is unable to grasp that the standard’s requirement actually includes all the rare conditions that happen in the real world.

Rain, snow, thunderstorm, earthquake, vomit on the dashboard, no internet…

Elon Musk claimed that it would mean Tesla owners would eventually receive a software update that would turn their vehicles into “robotaxis” capable of level-4-5 self-driving

Wait… so he actually knows what the standard levels 4 and 5 are??

:-)

Same as you fill a glass of milk: a quarter, a half, three quarters, full…

Usa continues to sail away from all the rest of the world.

Isn’t Hollywood going to unleash armies of lawyers on them?

It is giving false ideas.

As we can see here in the comments, people understand it as security. But it is only a method for identification.

It cannot tell you who carries the knife. Even if it’s connected to the databases of three letter agencies (or worse), it can only produce suspicion. Which is false, most times, and helps only the ones who sell surveillance tech.

And even for identification it is less reliable than people like to think.

What do these idiots think they’re gonna do when a good chunk of the population loses their homes and comfortable lives because of them?

They buy your houses from you and rent them right back to you. That’s what Nestle has done with the poor farmers and all their land (not just their houses) in Romania.

The world is beyond capitalism. It is a new feudalism now. Yanis Varoufakis was right.

They employ even more police (and more guns for them), so that you don’t get no funny ideas.

But if you get funny ideas anyway, they have surveillance of all phones and internet. You have read your George Orwell, haven’t you?

Btw I wasn’t aware XOR was encrytion…

It’s even better than ROT13, because you always need to apply ROT13 twice for getting the good results…

suggest the country could be split into zones of control

… and I suggest to put this lunatic into that kind of zone where lunatics get their proper treatment.

The King could simply take back the colony

how do I know it’s manufactured to other international standards and not specifically American standards?

Well, you don’t need to know anymore now :)

But if you are in Europe, the standards are still in force. No cars may be sold that do not meet these requirements. The manufacturer must declare the conformity for each model, and in addition they are tested by independent organisations sometimes.
