An interesting study reveals clear inequality of American race perceptions.
When subjects started with an image of a white and began morphing it to an African American, on average they identified the image as appearing black 40 percent of the way through the process. But when done the opposite way, from black to white, subjects did not identify subjects as appearing white until they were almost 70 percent of the way through the process.
I believe this kind of research is very insightful to understanding American fears about “deep fakes“.
I’ve been noticing that Tesla lately are abruptly veering and crashing into poles.
Tesla’s CEO promised his customers that by 2018 they “do not need to touch the wheel“. This brand new 2018 Model 3 in California, produced by a polluting factory littered with engineering failures, immediately revealed the opposite. Without fraud there would be no Tesla.
This pole position is usually fatal.
And we know already that Tesla is by far the least safe, least trusted, EV maker because of its uniquely high rate of fatalities.
10 out of 10 “Driverless” Fatalities Were Caused by Tesla
Yet investigations of a Tesla in its usual pole position seem very brief and sketchy, instead of thorough and conclusive.
The woman was in a Tesla Model 3 northbound in the 27000 block of Sunnyridge Road about 11:35 a.m. [Aug 30] when, for unknown reasons, she turned right and hit the pole, California Highway Patrol Capt. Joe Zizi said.
Unknown reasons for turning into a pole and dying.
Here’s another abrupt pole position just a week earlier.
…hit a pole next to the road. The Atlanta Police Department’s Accident Investigation Unit is on scene and working to determine what led up to the crash.
To put it simply, Tesla is causing more crashes by design and intention. Reading warnings about being attentive is actually worse when at the same time being told by the CEO to ignore them.
…countermeasures sometimes may increase danger, rather than diminish it [because] in the rare event it is [needed], the warning will no longer be received and there may be a victim. […] A warning that is not perceived as needed will not be heeded–even when it is needed.
That was right around the same time as yet another “Tesla driver dead” headline from Florida.
Highway Patrol said the man was in a Tesla that was traveling westbound… lost control and collided with the utility pole in the eastbound lanes. The vehicle then became engulfed in flames.
…traveling west along Dey Road around 9 a.m. when the 2021 vehicle crossed into the eastbound lane as the car approached a curve, according to police. The car struck a pole in the eastbound shoulder of the two-lane country road…
Fell asleep (as instructed by the Tesla CEO) and, when approaching a curve, crossed into the oncoming traffic lane and struck a pole on the opposite shoulder.
The story even includes the line “officer who responded was not sure if the Tesla was in auto-pilot mode”.
Again and again.
Speeding? It’s a Tesla, so it’s speeding because the CEO has said it was designed for speed. Yet another reason to blame its design for failures.
We can’t just leave all these pole positions in such an unknown, unsure, state of investigation.
Shewhart Cycle for Learning and Improvement and the PDSA Cycle were the foundation of U.S. Army statistician Deming’s management of Japanese post-war car manufacturing including a mass-produced Nissan EV in 1947.
Tesla seems to have a very unique problem that demands focused study of how they alone are killing so many people so quickly.
…all Tesla issues we have covered so far never seem to get fixed…. That is also the impression Philip Koopman has after checking a video that clearly shows Navigate on Autopilot keeps getting involved in easily avoidable crashes…
If planes were suddenly veering and crashing (e.g. downdrafts or autopilot software error) there would be focused concern. Even saying it was a drunk crew in a stormy and low visibility landing wouldn’t end the case. Answers and prevention would be required, especially if it led to a design flaw affecting one particular aircraft.
…the car was on Navigate on Autopilot until about two seconds before the crash. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) was activated, but did not prevent the collision. When it did so, it turned off Navigate on Autopilot, which may allow Tesla to say it was not technically engaged when the crash occurred.
It’s becoming clearer with every Tesla crash that without fraud, there would be no Tesla.
All that being said, the thing coming up lately is that FSD (despite being promoted by the CEO as a collision avoidance feature) may have a major defect: every Tesla may be at risk of swerving to crash directly into a pole.
However, inhibiting ongoing investigations and research is an army of tolls and orcs (pro-Russian trolls characterized by disorganization, minimal intelligence, and overwhelming bitterness). These accounts demand any related car crash reports online never include the word “Tesla”.
Here’s a perfect example. Peter Talbot about a week ago posted this report to The News Tribune:
A driver crashed into a traffic signal pole Saturday afternoon in South Tacoma, causing life-threatening injuries to himself and killing a woman in the passenger seat, according to police. Tacoma Police Department said the driver was going west on South 56th Street when he struck a pole at the intersection of Washington Street, two blocks from South Tacoma Way. Police said the car, a Tesla, briefly caught fire. […] It’s unclear what caused the crash.
Unclear cause. Maybe the car had a design flaw (highly likely) or maybe it was something else.
Of course the car brand is extremely relevant and necessary to investigators because a car has a designer, which is why it’s a common detail in news reports. Who created the defective design?
Now read these trolls in the comments, as they very clumsily attempt to erase the car brand.
Demanding to know the “other automobile involved” is a good sign orcs are at work here, and even unintelligent robots. That “Eve” account looks suspiciously dedicated to just attacking people critical of Tesla.
Calling the car brand political is an even stronger sign of systemic pollution.
Marxist?
That’s clearly an account setup for grinding a political axe unrelated to any actual story. They regularly churn out generic Russian hits like this:
Sep 24, 2022: What’s crude is this site’s and all you other’s support for communism.
Sep 25, 2022 Just another communist rag…
Oct 1, 2022: This globalist site catering to the gullible…
Oct 8, 2022: This site is a leftist echo chamber.
Nov 26, 2022: This sight is just another leftist echo chamber.
Dec 3, 2022: The gullible lefties on this sight will believe anything.
You get the idea. Talk about a car crash and… leftist this, communist that, a “sports fan” who can’t see the difference between site and sight says you’re a Marxist.
While it’s reported that Tesla has no human PR department (because ethics got in the way), I wonder if anyone has ever probed for their annual budget allocated to social media trolls.
Seriously, Elon Musk is renowned for hating humans and wanting to replace everyone with robots designed to look like small black women. It just may be that he has a huge PR department when you account for him fueling robots to relentlessly attack media and interfere with safety investigations. His pole position seems criminal.
Tesla’s paint shop at their factory in Fremont has been noncompliant with the EPA for 11 of the last 12 quarters. And no one talks about it. They’re just rampantly violating environmental laws and emitting stuff into the air with a school next door.
EPA led unannounced inspections at the Fremont facility in 2017 along with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The inspections identified violations of federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations. RCRA rules require the safe management of hazardous waste to protect public health and the environment and to prevent costly cleanups.
Tesla was fined by the EPA settlement… wait for it… $31K.
2022: EPA again issues a pathetically small penalty.
Tesla has agreed to pay a $275,000 fine in a settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for violating the federal Clean Air Act…
Tesla is a dangerous fraud, according to the settlement, which points it out again and again.
Yet as that fraud directly polluted schools, there’s no evidence of real assessment and accountability.
The Fremont factory should have been shut down and rigorously tested for air quality violations.
FAILING 11 out 12 QUARTERS?!
Don’t open that factory until it can pass every quarter going forward.
Stopping Tesla from making cars not only would protect families unfortunately living near these fraud factories, it would help reduce the number of Tesla on the road (a known threat to everyone around, especially its driver).
It’s particularly revealing to see Tesla use propaganda tactics.
Look back to what happened before the EPA stepped in.
In 2018 it seems Tesla claimed to be hapless victims who said they believed in raising standards of environmental quality.
…the plant emitted elevated levels of smog-forming nitrogen oxides from 2013 through 2016. […] “They were the result of Tesla inheriting an older building that was not up to our standards.”
Three years? Come on. That’s willful ignorance. Standards would have found it and fixed it.
It reads like catching a son sitting in his father’s chair slowly smoking a pipe who says “this is all dad’s fault”. Smoking kills, dude. No excuses.
They paid California regulators $139,500 in that case, another measly fine.
Guess what happened next. The pollution continued to an even worse degree, as detailed above. After calling themselves superior, Tesla was polluting more and caught by the EPA for lack of necessary plans and controls.
Today we know with certainty that Tesla intentionally lowered standards at their factory from the start, becoming infamous for safety levels set below everyone else.
They allegedly believed in getting away with environmental crimes, opposite of what any community should ever want.
Tesla pollutes directly into a school, with minimal protection or representation for its victims?
There were no injuries, but [because he rode a bicycle instead of attacking from a car] he was charged with multiple felonies, and eventually pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, and vandalism.
Of course police easily could find this criminal, as the car is constantly being monitored in great detail by Tesla. Insurance algorithms may already have identified him.
He stands out as Elon Musk’s Twitter rage army… on wheels and in person.

The pre-meditation is evidenced by measures taken to hide the license plate… and maybe that giant black pipe used in a very specific way.
Some may recall the license plate was invented specifically because car drivers from the beginning of cars were cruelly causing crashes and using their powerful engines to run away without being recognized.
Tesla seems to be not only trying to reinvent the wheel, it’s recreating the worst possible mistakes in history… by design.
All the drivers have filed reports with law enforcement. The incidents have happened across Southern California, so different agencies are investigating.
His “uniform” is strangely consistent, as well as his premeditated and repeated use of that same Tesla and pipe.
It appears he targets non-white drivers, am I right? More specifically he may be targeting women or people he has profiled as unlikely to run him over, despite swinging a pipe.
For example in one video outside a shed in Atwater he yells “you better go outside Cali where you came from” and you can hear the clear retort “You don’t even know where I’m from. I’m born and raised in LA”.
Police easily could have pulled Atwater storage shed records, in that case of hate alone. He obviously had a reason to park there. So what is the reason police let the obvious criminal Tesla roam so freely?
Update January 31:he is arrested and has targeted women.
