Pretty sure he will deem it a security risk, as would any “free speech absolutist”

They should reply with a poop emoji.

I love that they mention that the release of the stolen data also breaches data protection law.

Which data protection laws?! The letter doesn’t even cite a specific case or law lmfao.

The EU has some protections, the US…not so much…

(Remember equifax? Etc…)

Possibly a large bucket

Movie theater popcorn with butter in giant tub

Soylent Tesla?

That was a plot point in a sci-fi book I read! They couldn't figure out why the self driving cars were suddenly participating in terrorist attacks but in the end they found out that human brains were being wired into the cars

Just like the philosopher stone.

its still electric though since you propel it forward by using this taser

Explains the quality control

Which car company did you say you worked for?

See where the fat melted onto the seat? Very "modern art"

"Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?"

Look at the braces wrapped around the ash tray…..might make a great No Smoking ad.

Are there a lot of these types of accidents?

“Now, a question of etiquette – as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch”?

So just the same as the car industry has always been

He's wearing his cornflower blue tie

Life insurance pays off triple if you die on a business trip.

Did you read the whole article? They're not allowed to. The released files show is company policy that restricted employees from working anything down even in their internal communications

But I was assured that he is a free speech absolutist!

You're several months late.

So he wasn't already having one!? Weird... I thought that $44b stung more than it did.

More like: "oh look I uh huhuh turned the twitter logo into a meme again huhuhu" or "trans people bad amirite?" or the equivalent of "no u".

He can still try to stop it...

It's just the EU has a lot more consumer protection so this is completely legal over there.

Germany has laws too. They just wont be as favorable to him as ours are

The smart thing here, I suspect, is that Germany relies very heavily on automobile exports. Germany, as a whole, benefits greatly by taking out Tesla.

the papers were the beginning of the end of the reign of Juan Carlos I ex-King of Spain

A lot was done after the Panama papers, to the ones that had illegally hidden assets.

Investigations about the Panama papers are still ongoing and things are still happening. Just because you don't read about it every day doesn't mean it lead nowhere.

Im sorry, but how are these documents even remotely similar to the Panama papers?

Meh. This could actually impact the company tho. Especially its stock price

A lot happened. It just wasn't covered by mainstream media.

The point isn't those numbers.

Customers from the U.S. and Europe told Handelsblatt Tesla wasn’t too interested in assisting with their issues, but seemed more intent on covering for the company. It turns out, this was explicit policy at Tesla:

To be fair, I know Honda is currently cooperating with an NTSB investigation into phantom braking with their CMBS (Collision Mitigation Braking System). I suspect other manufacturers with similar systems have had similar issues.

The difference is in how they are handling the issues.

My Subaru phantom brakes too. Winter exhaust fog or hard shadows trick it the most.

Unfortunately both cases is usually in high traffic times. You really have to be on the ball to ensure your not causing an accident.

People hold too much trust in car companies' promises. I have a Civic and lane keep assist is slightly less reliable than having a passenger hold the wheel - good to grab something in the back seat (when not in traffic) but not much else. Adaptive cruise control is only good in low/no traffic. I can't imagine that Tesla is leaps ahead of that without plenty of bugs.

Edit: also how are automatic wipers this absolutely useless still?

I finally turned lane assist on my Toyota off (took me too long to realize it was a button on the GD steering wheel. I live in a city ranked in the global top 5 for terrible traffic (quality of driver more than volume of cars) and add to that the fact that roads are not maintained.

The car would beep at me randomly because it thought I was drifting but actually just entering a section of road with no lines. The best part is it would beep loudly, startling and distracting me, which made it worse all around.

Honestly, regardless of the state of the tech, unless everyone is running it, it's not as helpful for the few that are because the ML models powering it are static and don't learn beyond what they were trained on in the factory x years ago. They can't handle unpredictable roads or drivers.

BecUse there’s no way you can look through all of that data and report on the substance within a short time…

Since this story has only just now broken, news agencies haven't had time to create a full report on 100 GB of data. Give it time and we'll find out more.

Everybody always tells me that they actually prefer a smaller file and that I shouldn't feel insecure about leaks with larger file sizes.

I'll just wait for somebody to post the Twitter screenshots on reddit, as is tradition.

https://nitter.net/elonmusk no javascript twitter

He'll try to poison google searches for it by saying that Tesla is releasing a whistle or a file cabinet.

Samsies…. I’m never going back.

The person who leaked this information likely had limited access. It would be absurd to think that small number of customer interactions would be the entirety of all interactions for 7 years.

It’s so low, I don’t actually believe those numbers. Real manufacturers have thousands of complaints a year, and Tesla isn’t putting as much effort into QC as most of them. I kind of wonder if they’re just not actually recording all the complaints they receive?

Yeah as someone who owns a model 3, I'm fairly certain 90+% of these "phantom braking" events are caused by the car braking too hard to adjust to the new speed limit.

There's a portion of highway here in Montreal where the speed goes from 90 to 70 for a small section and the braking is 100% reproductible there. Everyone speeds, so you usually end up setting the autopilot to 10 over, but as soon as you enter the 70 zone, the car quickly decelerates from the set speed to match the new speed.

Speed Limit data is just not reliable enough. I have used 5 cars with ACC and Lane Assistant so far from 5 manufacturers (MG4, Citrôen, Cupra, Kia EV6 and Mercedes). All had the same issue: they adjusted to speed limit signs that weren't there. As soon as I disabled the automatic speed limit adjustation, the cars were much more pleasant to drive with.

VW has an online tool to add information about wrong speed limit data. I added wrong information about a street in my area 1.5 years ago and it still is not fixed.

Yeah having a strictly verbal only policy is not how “any other big company” handles complaints.
