The Tooth Fairy isn’t real, Santa Claus isn’t real, self driving cars aren’t real (neither is our blockchain future or LLM driven AI apocalypse… ya getting the meta trend yet?). You’re grown ass adults, stop believing in marketing driven key jangler fairy tales. I’d like to believe the bezzel is in on this… but it’s not.
Out of all the scandals over the last decade or so of venture capital-fueled excess, Tesla’s dangerous and hype-happy approach to driving automation technology has been one of the most important but also one of the most hidden in plain sight. Just like the Mechanical Turk of 1770, everyone has been so focused on the technology itself that they’ve missed the human factors that power the entire spectacle. Just as worryingly, regulators have missed that forcing humans to babysit incomplete systems introduces entirely new risks to public roads.
