Now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter - now the Pit edition (Part 2)

The rule doesn’t cover going the wrong way on a one way or other street or deciding that the median is a lane or other hijinks that don’t involve a fatality, an injury requiring hospitalization, a pedestrian being struck, or an air bag deployment.

Are those reportable now?

They absolutely should be for self-driving vehicles.

I agree with this. Self-driving vehicle companies should be made to report anything that a non-inebriated human driver wouldn’t do, even if it doesn’t result in an accident.

(OK, maybe I’m being optimistic about the capabilities of human drivers here. But local and state DOTs could use that data to make their signage and the like better, which would help both regular and self-driven vehicles in the long run.)

Unless the human riding in the sorta-self-driving car chooses to push a “report this” button, how would the computer know it screwed up? After all, if it knew it was screwing up, it’d wouldn’t be screwing up.

And the mere fact a human switches the car from auto- or semi-auto mode to manual is not proof a mistake is being made. Perhaps the next intended maneuver is one the car simply can’t do, like pull into a drive through.

I have a non-Tesla with fairly good driver assist. It gets switched on and off every mile or so in suburban driving. IMO nearly zero of those switch-offs represent errors by the computer.

Have you had opportunity to observe what (apparently) non-impaired drivers would not do? It is a very short list. I have made some inappropriate moves, though mostly when I determined that they were comparatively low risk.

Yeah, I wonder about that, too.

Thanks. Though “need to report” does not mean that this information will become public.

So I’d guess that Elon will get his “t.”

So, Elon Musk is no longer “big money #1”.

Larry Ellison unseated him.

Elmo is now, most appropriately, a big steaming pile of #2.

Nah, it’s all based on stock valuation. He’s back up again. It’s all meaningless numbers on a screen at this point

Good news Ellison is also a human shaped piece of shit!

Indeed, his face does look like it was shat out by a fat old bulldog or something.

Well I can’t stand Larry Ellison either. Let them fight!

The best thing Larry Ellison ever did was have a movie-loving daughter who sank a lot of her inherited money into a movie studio (Annapurna Pictures) that has produced and distributed a lot of really good movies, though overall at a significant net loss. I thank her, and implicitly him, for their financial contributions.

Uh-oh, Grok got caught posting facts—–but Elon to the rescue, promising to re-program Grok such that facts will never again stain X!!!

Well, of course every lead should be investigated.

But I’m extremely skeptical of this. When certain people desperately WANT something to be true, reports of the “something” should always be treated with suspicion (see ghost-sightings, for example).

Seriously? Since when did a Twitter account called EndWokeness posting conspiratorial nonsense without a shred of evidence become a lead? When Elmo retweeted saying “terrorist cell”?

Cue the Illinois Nazi scene from The Blues Brothers, replacing “Black” with “Trans” so that its “The Jew is using the Trans as muscle” and you’ve got Elmo’s view on the Woke/Jewish/Trans conspiracy in a nutshell. This is the man who proudly stated that the woke mind virus murdered his son, that The Great Replacement is a real thing, and that White Genocide is happening in South Africa.

“Lead” just means that you look into it, not that you assume it’s true.

And yes, of course Elon is the least-likely person to repost something reliable.

“I looked into it by seeing that it was being pushed by EndWokeness and concluded that it was a dead end.”

Pretty much. Or should we investigate the lead that Elmo gave us that Jews are conspiring to replace the whites in Europe with immigrants in The Great Replacement when he retweeted a Neo-Nazi who said that it was happening. With the exact same amount of evidence provided as the EndWokeness tweet, i.e. none.

You don’t look into something if there is literally nothing to look into. It’s not a lead. The “investigation” consists entirely of “Elmo retweeted a post by EndWokeness that said, “Multiple trans people in the area posted on September 9th that “something big will be happening to Charlie Kirk tomorrow”””. There is literally nothing to follow up on. That is the entirety of the “lead”.
