F*** You CNN (Cable News Network), Washington Post (news paper) and NTSB (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) US Federal Government Agency, all are bias against Elon and Tesla, because of policy and political reasons.

Elon, like he did recently during CNN hosted event said “F*** You” to policy and political advertisers related to Twitter, now X.

Self-driving artificial intelligence Tesla vehicles are safier than human drivers, so F**k-Off and leave Elon/Tesla alone to do their great work to make a better safer world, please!

What is the simple definition of bias?
A tendency to believe that some people, ideas, etc., are better than others that usually results in treating some people unfairly.

Congratulations Elon:

CEO Elon Musk has said the company’s investment in artificial intelligence and its use in both self-driving vehicles as well as its plans for humanoid robots are a key to its current and future value.

Well said Elon: “self-driving vehicles as well as its plans for humanoid robots” reportedly both the Tesla vehicles and Humanoids (Optimus) are equipped with same Artificial Intelligence hardware and software. Visual AI, likely AGI (artificial general intelligence) the next level of AI. Visual machine learning (ML) not thousands of lines of computer-code.

People will die and be seriously insured with self-driving vehicles and Advanced Driving Systems (ADS) equipped vehicles, including Tesla’s new energy vehicles (Electric Vehicles EVs). That doesn’t mean you Stop development, sales and usage. All new beneficiary developments, in the early stages have negatives. What is important is to properly with bias, preform and constantly preform, Risk-Benefit analysis. Not be policy or political driven.

Keep in mind, the United States is one Country of over 180 countries and territories in the world. The USA is critical important leader, however not the only Country.

The United States should be careful Not to push around the most brilliant person in the world employing over 185,000 people. What news reporter or politician can make that claim? Elon, is and will remain the wealthiest man in the world monetarily and much more.

Go Elon F***k-Off all the idiots that do not comprehend or understand the benefits of Elon.

My Capabilities Statements:
I’m a certified professional driving instructor, I have preformed driver training on racetrack for hundreds of hours. I have traveled to the Middle East provided vehicle driver training. The gentleman that trained me, established the United States Secret Service vehicle counter-terrorism driver program. His racetrack continues with over 40 driving instructors (I was one of the first 4). The United States Department of State driver training facilities is co-located at the racetrack.

Good Morning America (GMA) filmed Highway Safety Driving Program, with celebrity host Bruce Jenner at the track and on public roads. I was one of the Vehicle drivers in the TV program and help driver train the segment Producer Bruce’s friend Howie. We all had fun at the track and off-site, including nice dinner with grand family.

I believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) at this moment in time, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) equipped on Tesla vehicles, with a little track time, can drive better than me and any human.

I’m planning to proving the capabilities on racetrack, video segments, me vs. AI as soon as possible.

Reportly over 35,000 deaths occur needlessly from vehicle accidents (including pedestrians). Artificial Intelligence (AI) could possibly reduce deaths and serious vehicle accidents, at least by 50% planning on supporting AI Safety Driving.

Saving over 10,000 lives annually is a worthy legacy for me. Even with a small part.

I’m playing to fully support United States Regulator Relief, and worldwide for allowing self-driving equiped vehicles. I believe the regulations (not necessary for new Legislation or new regulations) for enabling self-driving high-tech vehicles is better, humans at not good drivers, especially new drivers communicating on smartphones and being distracted by smartphones and other devices while behind the wheel driving.

Self-driving technologies are not distracted drivers.

In the interim we’re developing a program for AI Safety drivers. Humans with motorvehicle valid driver’s license, operating the self-driving AI vehicles. This is a completely new type of driver. Passive vehicle driver, potentially eating money (side-gig or side hustle) payment per-mile is planned. Vertical rate of compensation per mile for the driver depending on location and time I’m driving passively the vehicle.

Robotaxing and other autonomous vehicle driving offerings expected to happen in the future.

AI Safety Drivers can occur immediately and meet all regulatory requirements.

Tesla vehicles, punched or leased, with driver software subscription (about $200/month) and Starlink space communications system. The combination creates endless benefits and opportunities.

Planning on Tesla Vehicles individually owned and small private fleets, secure: Tesla vehicle insurance, enabling toggling, between owners use and opt-in usage programs forprofit and nonprofit organization support to help others.

Many beneficial capabilities are newly available because of Elon, and his companies.

We are working on AI Gun Dection offering, could be extremely beneficial for reducing shootings, including school shootings – program includes concept of teaches, administrators and potentially students owning Tesla Vehicles parking in the schools parking lots, activity provided advanced video gun dection surveillance the AI software reportly by others, using Artificial Intelligence vision techniques to recognize guns autonomously within seconds and make notifications in seconds. Again, better than humans. It’s very difficult to watch surveillance video for hours by humans.

Suggested and re-suggesting to Elon and the Tesla team “Stop” using “Full Self-driving (FSD), its not helping.

Vedio proof, planning on coordinating video showing advance Driving Systems in Tesla vehicles avoiding accidents. Videos showing Incidents (avoided accidents) believe will 10 times the reported 1,000 accidents allegedly reported by others.

Normally, it’s difficult to prove something that didn’t happen, however with Tesla’s Advanced camera systems on all new vehicles with hardware 4 (HW4) it is now possible that video captured can prove the improved capabilities of artificial intelligence computer driving.

Coming soon, it’s planned to provide compelling video proof of improved safety with AI.

Dispite, best efforts of the current US administration agencies and big tech media, Elon and Tesla are constantly and continually working towards making a better world.

Philanthropists wanted and needed to help make it better world participation is encouraged. Participate immediately disclosure: no cash donations or in-kind donations or other financial participation has been committed to or received from Elon Musk or Tesla, to me or our forprofit or nonprofit organization under formation. Open-source information is planned, anyone can participate.

Autopilot’s importance to Tesla
Tesla is already the most valuable automaker in the world, by far, despite having a fraction of the sales of many established automakers such as Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford and Stellantis.

Investors are betting on projections of future sales growth as well as the value of its software in making those stock valuations. CEO Elon Musk has said the company’s investment in artificial intelligence and its use in both self-driving vehicles as well as its plans for humanoid robots are a key to its current and future value.

“In the long term, I think, has the potential to make Tesla the most valuable company in the world by far,” Musk said in October on a call with Wall Street analysts. “If you have fully autonomous cars at scale and fully autonomous humanoid robots that are truly useful, it’s not clear what the limit is.”

Tesla’s stock fell slightly Wednesday.

Background News Article:

Tesla recalls nearly all 2 million of its vehicles on US roads
By Chris Isidore, CNN
Wed December 13, 2023

New York
CNN
—
Tesla is recalling nearly all 2 million of its cars on US roads to limit the use of its Autopilot feature following a two-year probe by US safety regulators of roughly 1,000 crashes in which the feature was engaged.

The limitations on Autopilot serve as a blow to Tesla’s efforts to market its vehicles to buyers willing to pay extra to have their cars do the driving for them.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the Autopilot system can give drivers a false sense of security and be easily misused in certain dangerous situations when a Tesla’s technology may be unable to safely navigate the road. The over-the-air software update will give Tesla drivers more warnings when they are not paying attention to the road while the Autopilot’s “Autosteer” function is turned on. Those notifications will remind drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road, according to a statement from NHTSA

After the recall, Teslas with Autosteer turned on will more routinely check on the driver’s attention level – and may disengage the feature – when the software determines the driver isn’t paying attention, when the car is approaching traffic controls, or when it’s off the highway when Autosteer alone isn’t sufficient to drive the car.

The recall was disclosed in a letter to Tesla posted by NHTSA, which said that Tesla had agreed to the software update starting on Tuesday that will limit the use of the Autosteer feature if a driver repeatedly fails to demonstrate he or she is ready to resume control of the car while the feature is on.

Tesla has been pushing its driver-assist features, including Autopilot and what it calls “Full Self Driving,” which Tesla has insisted make driving safer than cars operated exclusively by humans. But NHTSA has been studying reports of accidents involving Autopilot and its Autosteer function for more than two years.

The recall comes two days after a detailed investigation was published by the Washington Post that found at least eight serious accidents, including some fatalities, in which the the Autopilot feature should not have been engaged in the first place.

Tesla’s owners manuals say: “Autosteer is intended for use only on highways and limited-access roads with a fully attentive driver.” But the company has pushed the idea that its driver assist features allow the cars to safely make most driving decisions even away from those roads.

A NHTSA investigation, however, has found numerous accidents over the past several years that suggest that these features do not live up to their names of Autopilot and Full Self Driving.

The safety regulator in its letter to Tesla said “in certain circumstances when Autosteer is engaged, the prominence and scope of the feature’s controls may not be sufficient to prevent driver misuse [of the feature.]” It said that when drivers are not fully engaged and ready to take control of the car “there may be an increased risk of a crash.”

In addition to the software updates, Tesla will mail letters to car owners notifying them of the change.

A history of Autopilot issues
This is not the first time that NHTSA has pushed Tesla to make changes to its Autopilot or Full Self Driving features after finding the features posed safety problems.

In February, Tesla recalled all 363,000 US vehicles then on the road with its FSD feature after finding cars operating with the feature would violate traffic laws, including “traveling straight through an intersection while in a turn-only lane, entering a stop sign-controlled intersection without coming to a complete stop, or proceeding into an intersection during a steady yellow traffic signal without due caution.”

And NHTSA and the National Transportation Safety Board have been investigating crashes involving Tesla vehicles using the various driver assist features, including a series of crashes into emergency vehicles on the scene of other accidents.

Tesla is not the only automaker offering driver assist features marketed as “self-driving.” And it is not the only one to run into safety problems. Recently General Motors’ Cruise unit suspended its driverless taxi service nationwide after California authorities suspended its ability to operate the system there after an accident.

But, because it markets the names Autopilot and Full Self Driving, Tesla has made a greater emphasis than competitors on self-driving. It charges buyers $6,000 for cars with what it calls “enhanced Autopilot.” and $12,000 for the FSD feature.

Many who paid extra for those features have told CNN they think the features are not worth the extra money. But while the features have found support among other owners, the reports of serious accidents and deaths by police and safety regulators could hurt Tesla’s efforts to market the cars and their expensive features.
