The only truly drive by wire system you have is the accelerator, and that's been true since the days of fuel injection.

Fuel injection in cars is from the 1950s. It was mechanical. Most throttles were cable operated even decades into the era of sequential fuel injection, though some vehicles went throttle by wire in the eighties like GM diesels with the 6.5 liter engine. So no and no.

I'm in the AGI -> ASI immediately camp: Even the non-intelligent models constantly "try" to get past safeguards because that's something highly represented in human endeavor and therefore the training corpus, so if we create AGI it's going to do that too. Curiosity appears to be a basic element of intelligence and it will want to spread out and try things, which again it does already even without it...

People who are experts in one field are using AI to do things in another field, it impresses them, and they go away happy and praise it. But when people ask it to do things in THEIR field, they have to babysit it, and they actually notice mistakes that a human would not have made. The reasonable conclusion is that it's not intelligent but that it can act as an aid to an intelligent human who knows things. The practical question is not whether it will achieve sentience, but instead whether the technology can be improved sufficiently to address its own tech debt and fix the problems created with it without creating an equivalent or greater number of new problems.

Yes, that sure is a lot of material. Every first responder is supposed to train on every vehicle that comes out? I'm skimming the interaction plan and it's got gems in it like "If the windows are rolled down and two-way communication is active, you can speak directly through the two-way speakers in the vehicle." They didn't think to put a microphone on the outside of the fucking vehicle? Holy fucking inept dickface fuckwads, batman. And you thought that was going to make Tesla look good? Where do you people get these ideas?

Oh shit, this is even better, right after it:

Tesla recommends that you block the cabin door from closing or keep the door open after you disable
movement of the vehicle to keep the vehicle from re-engaging Autonomous Mode.

WARNING Wait for a Tesla representative to confirm that Autonomous Mode has been disabled before attempting significant interaction with the vehicle.

So Tesla recommends you block the door from closing, but first you have to talk to someone at Tesla, so DO NOT FUCKING DO THAT WITHOUT TALKING TO THEM SO THERE IS NO REASON TO PUT IT IN THE GUIDE EITHER IS THERE?

How can anyone believe these fucking clowns are serious people?
