I find myself asking "how is this legal" several times a day lately. Why does "tech" get to stress-test long standing rules and norms? It's an attitude of "I dare you to regulate us". I'm remembering a comment on HN a week or so ago . To paraphrase: "thing, but from the internet".

Fellas, the "Torment Nexus" tweet was supposed to be a joke.

Either it's overhyped marketing, or Tesla has automated aggressive A-hole driving. I don't like either option.

How could they think that this is a good idea? Baffling.

Does this mode comply with state traffic regulations like follow distance and lane change protocol?

“Move fast and break things” is taking on a very literal meaning.

This is one of those things where if we had a normal functioning regulatory environment, Elon Musk would be in jail long before he got this obvious. Having an "Autopilot" mode people get killed by because it doesn't actually drive the car should've been plenty.

Isn't it kind of dumb that only after something like this hits world wide distributed news does anyone investigate anything?
