You don't realize how hackable a Tesla is, everything is run on software from the brakes, accelerator, and steering. You hack a Tesla and you essentially have a drone. Chao was murdered and the Demonrats got their $ billions from Mitch McConnell the brother-in-law.


Yup.

Throttle has not been connected directly to the engine or motor for a long time. Brakes are transitioning to full electronic control for power regen. Steering on many cars is electric powered with the steering column being more of a fail safe and we are an automotive technology generation or so away from fully electronic steering where the steering wheel is not connected to the wheels.

It all works great right up until it doesn't

This and the fact that one no longer is driving a ‘car’ but a ‘computer with 4 wheels with extensive surveillance capabilities’ is the primary reason why the vehicles I own are all about 15 years old. Until that changes (which will be never), I keep a good relationship with my buddy who runs Doug’s Garage....
