Not even that. This was fixed for almost all cars through a software update before this notice came out.

The left isn’t scared of Musk censoring their speech. They’re scared he’ll stop censoring speech they don’t like so their ideas will have to survive on a level playing field.

USB-C is physically bigger and Lightning is built more to sacrifice the plug to save the device in cases of physical stress.

The question is when FSD is safer than humans. The problem is we as humans will ignore millions of accidents avoided by FSD that always has instant reaction times and doesn't get distracted, and we'll be scared of it because of rare edge cases where a human may have been able to do better.

This is only their second generation of chip, and pretty good considering that. Shouldn't think that they'd be close to the latest iPhone chip.

The difference in management and results has been amazing. Bezos set up a traditionally-managed launch company and threw billions at it for twenty years hoping it would produce, and they haven't even made it to orbit. They can't even produce the engines so Vulcan Centaur can make it to orbit.
Musk set up a more startup-like company using agile development methods, and they were running America's workhorse rocket within fifteen years (when they surpassed Atlas V).

Reply to Eli5 why was lead added to so many products before it was discovered to be toxic? by thhbeard
Lead just makes paint better -- dries faster, keeps looking good longer, etc. Lead added to gasoline is an inexpensive way to increase the octane, allowing for higher compression.

Reply to comment by squigs in TIL Boeing B17 pilots often accidentally raised the undercarriage after landing, destroying the propellors and damaging the underbelly, due to the undercarriage lever and the flap lever looking the same. by Lkwzriqwea
In the Army we called that private proofing something, but then they'd always make a better private.
There are many examples of a necessary UI fix though. John Denver is dead because someone put a fuel tank switch up behind the pilot seat, and reaching for it could cause disorientation. So could the radio controls on an F-111 when pulling a certain maneuver.
