Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The problem is Tesla's marketing.
For years Elon said "The car drives itself, you don't need a driver". That is why Tesla drivers do such stupid things.
Tesla drivers don't crash their cars because Elon says stupid things. They crash their cars because they themselves are stupid. Everything else is just meaningless justification.
Good thing it's harder to get a drivers license in Europe. From watching some US driving tests, it seems all you need to do is drive around the block for ten minutes.
My boss told me to get my driving license in the US, she said it took 10 minutes and she had to drive in a line and then back around a corner.
I did it in Sweden, months of training, theory course like a university exam, high speed braking course on artificial ice, with and without ABS... it was nuts and amazing.
Doing a gun license in Sweden atm, same exact thing. A year minimum of training and a lot of skill tests.
People didn’t bother to run onto the deck of the Titanic because marketing told them the ship was unsinkable. Some realized it was going to sink only when they’ve seen from a boat the bridge submerging.
You can bet some people died because moron spelled with “el” told them they are driving on autopilot.
I don't think that Titanic is a good example. Being inside a ship is disorienting, you don't see the horizon and it's always moving. You need to be told to evacuate by people who understand the situation and know what is happening.
Driving a car and not slowing down when you are supposed to doesn't really compare to that.
The problem is that teslas AI can't see white vehicles.
