Guess who today wants you to believe his lies and ignore what you see?

Not a door fit issue because it can be addressed by a 5 minute door fit repair so severe it changed door fit in production.

The use of speech 2024.

File this along with “not a rust issue”.

With good reason, given so many Tesla crashes in 2023, Americans now don’t trust a Tesla to be on shared public roads.

…68% of Americans are afraid of self-driving cars…

It’s literally a reaction to Tesla Autopilot failures and fatalities, and arguably getting worse over time.

…last year’s surge in anxiety [was] all the more notable.

“We were not expecting such a dramatic decline in trust from previous years,” stated AAA director of automotive research Greg Bannon. “Although with the number high-profile crashes that have occurred from over-reliance on current vehicle technologies, this isn’t entirely surprising.”

Tesla has been an obvious fraud since 2016, killing hundreds of people. It’s just becoming a question of why any government allows Tesla to continue to operate, and why that CEO isn’t being lined up like he runs the Enron of cars.

This comes on the heels of people realizing that a robotaxi will ruin cities while making passengers easy targets with few to no security options. It feels more like being subjected to a moving dystopic single-cell jail than offered any conveniences.

[SF riders describe being helpless and terrified.] If we were outside walking we could’ve walked away, run away. If we were driving, we could make sure we locked the door. In this instance, we literally had no control.

“We had no control” sounds awful, like a taxi of Soviet Russia Развалюха-style design.

Robo-taxis are shaping up to be the most anti-city anti-democracy concept possible. Sensible and proven public transportation solutions (trains, subways, buses and bicycles) are being threatened by already unworkable and toxic swarms of anti-public robots controlled by opaque unaccountable private and probably foreign agents. What’s next, someone with their finger on the swarm algorithms commands 40,000 road robots to rampage and destroy an American city?

In related news, IIHS has tested and ranked Tesla the most unsafe driverless. Their assessment should surprise exactly nobody.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said: “Some drivers may feel that partial automation makes long drives easier, but there is little evidence it makes driving safer.”

The evidence continues to prove the opposite of what Tesla promises. Their designs and engineering, always rushed and poorly tested, make roads far less safe.

Interesting update to the WorldCoin ban last year, as Kenya calls out the U.S. government for signs of corruption by billionaires of Silicon Valley.

Kenya has rejected a push by the United States government to revoke the suspension of activities of the cryptocurrency project WorldCoin, legislators heard on Thursday.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki told Parliament that the government will not lift the suspension it imposed in August 2023 on the activities of WorldCoin.

Appearing before the National Assembly’s committee on Public Petitions, Prof Kindiki said Kenya has been under pressure from the US government to lift the suspension.

“The United States has been pushing the government on the issues of WorldCoin, but we have remained adamant and firm,” Prof Kindiki said.

“They (US) think that they (WorldCoin) still have a case to set up their activities here. We have remained adamant and the decision we took will remain. We are not going to review the suspension.”

Notably, WorldCoin was caught violating rights of people with some clearly criminal behavior. I’d even say it was a case of being very openly and obnoxiously illegal, basically intoxication with science fiction that led to public digital defecation.

It was like some young clueless tech-bros from America thought parachuting into Africa wearing big “white savior” pants would magically mean no Black person there would enforce laws, let alone stand up for human rights.

Prof Kindiki on August 2, 2023, issued a directive suspending the activities of WorldCoin pending the conclusion of inquiries that were aimed at establishing the safety of the data being harvested.

At the time, Prof Kindiki said the suspension would remain in effect until assurances of the safety and integrity of financial deals are provided.

“The government has suspended forthwith activities of WorldCoin and any other entity that may be similarly engaging the people of Kenya until relevant public agencies certify the absence of any risks to the general public whatsoever,” the statement issued by Prof Kindiki said.

Absence of any risks to the general public? That’s a basic requirement of engineering, and a code of ethics concept common across industries. If American tech companies aren’t removing risks to the public in product design and development, they aren’t really engineering and deserve a ban.

WorldCoin infamously and criminally rolled out the worst possible security in Nairobi, Kenya. Like, I mean, the actual worst. It is hard to imagine a less safe roll-out plan for a product.

The ministry of the interior has launched an investigation into Worldcoin and called on security services and data protection agencies to establish its authenticity and legality. In a statement released on Thursday, Worldcoin says it is planning to implement crowd-control measures and collaborate with the government before resuming work. It added that Kenyan regulations are adhered to. In one of the pop-up registration centres in the capital, Nairobi, where hundreds had been lining up for the registration, many had been locked out of the process on Wednesday after the large crowd was termed a “security risk”. “I’ve been coming here almost three days to line up and register. I want to register because I’m jobless and I’m broke, that’s why I’m here,” Webster Musa told the BBC. “I came here yesterday. I waited until my phone died. So I came again today but I’ve missed the registration again. I really like Worldcoin because of the money. I’m not worried about the data being taken. As long as the money comes,” added Dickson Muli. Worldcoin says it cannot say how many people have had their eyeballs scanned in Kenya.

Because of the money… as long as the money comes?

That does sound like corruption, along the lines of “if they pay it must be ok“.

Boeing, Tesla… WorldCoin.

Truly horrible humans are attracted to the Tesla fraud.

[New Zealand Detective Constable] Sandhu also analysed some of Sharma’s texts he’d made in the months leading up to the crash.

In a text exchange about the vehicle’s auto-drive feature, Sharma says “auto-drive saves life” adding in laughing emojis.

Texting another friend who asks how the Tesla is going, Sharma replies, “I have been such a rough driver ever since I have got my hands on the Tesla”.

He texts again saying, “It’s one dangerous car and a family type at the same time”.

Kaur texted him at 1.52am on November 18, 2021 asking if he got home, and he replies, “hahaha nearly f***** up”, before replying again, “was speeding for a bit, bro. That Fast and Furious shit”.

The alleged killer literally admitted his Tesla had made him into a worse driver, a deadly menace not only to himself but anyone around.

And then his dear friend was dead in his upside down Tesla that flew 30m in the air before crashing into a pole. So… he immediately after the crash started to research how to erase evidence.

He discovered Sharma first used the phone to search “how to delete Tesla recordings”.

[…]

Thirty-four seconds after searching for data about Tesla Sharma called 111, but it wasn’t answered.

He then called his friend Divesh Goundar before calling his policeman brother-in-law…

This is the same guy that tried to claim he crashed because he saw a raccoon in New Zealand, when there are no raccoons in New Zealand.

Perhaps a simple empathy test should be required before anyone can turn on the power to these loitering munitions called cars? Don’t know how to safely point the barrel of a loaded rocket launcher? No launch for you.

Tesla owners in accidents seem to often believe the money they poured into the cult of Elon Musk was supposed to mean they paid to be above the law.
