You may still die from falling debris of some air safety armed drone. Rapid safety upgrades are like that, accidents happen
Just like we'll have "full self driving this year" for 10 years running?
Elon Musk is a fucking moron who happened to stumble upon brilliant engineers who actually do meaningful work. Unfortunately for him he's fired or burned through nearly all of them which is why Twitter is bleeding cash and Tesla hasn't released anything interesting in 5 years.
Tesla hasn't released anything interesting in 5 years
Hey they regularly update the ability to make your vehicle into an expensive whoopie cushion. If that isn't interesting I don't know what is.
Rapid and safe don't go together
Shooting Elon is rapid
That’s not true. I can think of a quick change that will greatly improve air safety: ground every single plane, effective immediately.
Would it affect my upcoming vacation? Yes. But would it work? Yes.
Getting a bus pass doesn't make you a better driver.
Theres an old saying you cant have everything Rapid safe and cheap.
You just need to pick 2.
Good thing they saved us a bunch of money by shutting everything down then. They can spend the pentagons sushi budget on quickly training some safe operators.
If the military doesnt do something, because Congress won't, we're absolutely cooked. I have family who work on planes. Fuck all of this.
You live in a country that had psychiatry more barbaric than that of USSR till 70s.
EDIT: too niche an example ; no they won't.
DOGE? His crack team of 18-26 year old muppets? Wonderful.
There's a 26y old? Oldest i saw reported was like 23
He's the guy who fucked it up. He and his goons are morons, and should be nowhere near any of this
Maybe so, but the are on it. So...
You know, rapid and safe, like Tesla full self driving.
Ah, yes, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping with some AI hallucinations dropped in, surely that'll be safe.
Like to Tesla FSD systems, right? Slap a couple patches on there? Cut off a split second before it hits parked ambulances on the interstate so it’s technically not responsible?
Yeah bruh, I am not flying until the next admin cleans up all this horseshit. If we have a next admin.
Every single action that he does even if it only takes a day to undo took decades to get implemented. Will probably take just as long to get it back.
Planes go over my house all day. We're all fucked, even if we don't fly. Maybe one will fall on him and we can have a good laugh 😅
All I know is that I have a flight for work in a couple weeks and if shit keeps going this way I'm fucking driving, even if I have to leave a day early.
Yeah, I have to fly home cross country tomorrow. Wheeee.
Is it Grok-powered ATCs?
Pilot: "hey ground control"
ATC: *Google Assistant ding*
Active GPS. Please, no BS Elon satellite phone bullshit.
