New research finds that car touchscreens are so distracting that they induce "significant performance degradation" among drivers.
Meanwhile, in-vehicle touchscreens remain completely unregulated in the US.

Good thread about Tesla slowly behind to boil, other than depicting Musk as a clown. He’s actually a sociopath murderer.
The CA DMV won their lawsuit vs Tesla for FSD fraud & will suspend Tesla's sales & output in CA for 30 days.
The profit impact (<$1B) is nothing. The legal precedent is huge: FSD is not "self-driving" & Tesla lies.
This bolsters 2 class actions against $TSLA FSD fraud & more.
A quick 🧵

Well, that, and minus maybe 100 million Americans who love their guns more than other people’s children.
It's possible. It just takes political will.

Imagine when the AI bubble implodes like the 2022 EV bubble has.
To be clear, I like EVs and have two. But I’m vastly more open minded than most Americans.

Production of the all-electric Ford F-150 has come to an end. But the next one will be an extended-range electric vehicle, or EREV, with 700 miles of range.
But Ford announced other pivots back to gas today too:

I will say, some of this is very convincing. I don’t have the time or energy to dig deep into all of this, and I am certainly open to my general AI skepticism being misplaced. Opinions? youtu.be/KpOcUrPdx-4?...

Yes “investors” still happily support this guy.
On a daily basis Musk claims Western civilization’s success or failure can be determined by skin pigment. He is a gutter racist.

Something broke in society in 2018-19 (so pre-Covid). I noticed then a ramp in selfishness and narcissism. It got worse during Covid. I’d wager the cause is social media, but could more broadly be technological dehumanization.

Does anyone remember Tesla Battery Day and the disruption the 4680 cell was going to bring? Almost quaint in light of the AI / FSD and Optimus frauds underway now. The holidays always make me nostalgic…
