Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Or be on the road with one, that's a bit harder.

True. I was just in Atlanta and there were a ridiculous number of them. Newer models too, definitely after people knew all about Elon.

As someone originally from that city, there is no chance any sort of autopilot would ever be capable of handling Atlanta traffic without committing multiple murders

Even in rural areas, pretty much every time I drive somewhere I see Teslas.

He's gonna cram through a half baked autopilot, sell it to everyone, and kill so many people without reporting any of the accidents and pass the fault to the driver.

The insurance companies will have their own numbers like with the cybertruck. It will be interesting to see them weigh in.

Good. If you buy a Tesla, you take your chances.

Folks, Trump used to warn years ago about US becoming a Banana Republic. Well THIS is what a banana republic looks like. It's no longer USA. It's USB - United States of Banana republics - USB.
