He did demonstrate it that way, specifically with a carrot. And it somewhat worked. The problem is they programmed it to do more and more pressure every time it fails meaning that doing the carrot first actually caused a safety issue. He only moved onto his finger because the safety feature seemed to be working.

The engineer told him the frunk increases in pressure every single time it closes and detects resistance, Judkins said. It's going to assume you want to close the frunk and maybe something like a bag is getting in the way, which would make it close harder.

Geniuses.

Because I am the bag commander. If I want the bag to fit, and it doesn't fit, I'd better crush it!

With that association - can Apple, Tesla etc marketing be generalized into something to be put into law?

To fucking ban those companies and make their patents public domain (or make them expire, not sure of the term).

I don't care if a Google or two get stomped as a bonus.
