I trust NOTHING out of China.

The accelerator pedals in Tesla vehicles have two redundant sensors that clearly show us when the pedal is physically pressed down, such as by the driver’s foot.

I don’t trust anything out of Tesla either. It’s a wash.

I always wonder how Chinese fighter pilots deal with the fact that their planes are made completely in China. Would scare the stuffing out of me. Maybe they take comfort in the idea that once they meet their commitment, they’ll either be flying Boeing or at least Airbus planes.

JACK: What took you so long?

JERRY: I live in New York. (slams the cab door) What the The cab drives away.

JACK: This thing is a, is a behemoth.

JERRY: What did you do?

JACK: I was, I was making a, a simple lane change. I, I put on the blinker and it took off on me. And the next thing you know, I was submerged. I'm telling you, Jerry, I'm very lucky that those crocs didn't get me.

Jerry opens the door of the Cadillac and a torrent of muddy water containing a couple of catfish spills out over his feet.

JERRY: (exasperation) You are such an idiot. Well, we gotta get the car cleaned up for my parents.

JACK: (shrugging) Do whatever you want. It's your car.

JERRY: My car? You drove it into the swamp!

JACK: It drove itself into the swamp! Besides, I think I lost my pen, too.

JERRY: (smiling with pleasure) You know, that almost makes this all worthwhile.

From the same publication:

Several Tesla owners claim Model X accelerated/crashed on its own but everything points to user error

Did they get any type of report on the Tesla accident last weekend that decapitated the guy in Florida?

Think about it: ultra modern, high tech automobile, forced to drive around that third world sh!thole of a country - probably suicide.

But remember it’s not just the throttle pedal that can control the speed on a modern car, things like Adaptive Cruise Control and Auto-Pilot also send throttle messages to the control systems.

This could be quite complex and I expect to see more issues like this. ...and they’re connected to the internet.

Lots of folks tried to ride the “sudden acceleration” coattails some time back....”Honest officer, the gas pedal stuck and the brakes didn’t work...”
