A Tesla was in its self-driving mode when it crashed into a parked patrol vehicle responding to a fatal crash in Orange County Thursday morning, police said. 

The officer was on traffic control duty blocking Orangethorpe Avenue in Fullerton for an investigation into a suspected DUI crash that left a motorcyclist dead around 9 p.m. Wednesday when his vehicle was struck.

A Fullerton Police Department spokesperson said the officer was standing outside his vehicle around midnight when he saw a Tesla driving in his direction and not slowing down.

I just heard from Enron Musk that it crashed into the patrol car way more safely than a human would have done.
Also according to Enron Musk Full self driving has been working since 2017, and is in such a refined state now, that you wouldn't believe how gracefully it crashed into that patrol car. It was almost like a car ballet, ending in a small elegant piruette.

As Enron Musk recently stated, in a few months we should have Tesla Robo Taxies in the streets, and you will be able to observe these beautiful events regularly yourself.

Others say that's ridiculous, he is just trying to save Enron, but that's too late.

All I do at night is open my garage door to let my car out. A few months later here I’m a millionaire. Thank you full self driving Roboenron 😍

Yes I remember that, and then he has repeated every year since, that they will be ready next year. But THIS year he changed his tune somewhat, and claimed it was a matter of months.
How is this con man not in jail?

how is he able to get a $40?$50? billion bonus?

[–] Buffalox 1 points 5 months ago

He is very good at what he does, being a con man.
But I think step one is to be a malignant narcissist, having such an oversized ego and disregard for others, that you actually believe you deserve it.

Apart from that I can't really explain it, except IMO the stockholders that gave him that bonus are morons, that let themselves be exploited.
