A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

the door handles stopped working, what a stupid feature and nightmare
makes me wonder, couldn't someone or something remotely hack a car to kill its passengers?

you can open the doors without the power handles. Keep in mind this is version from a lawyer, the same people who fabricated "unintended acceleration" claims.
Sure you can—but you have to take the door panel off first. Because Tesla is shit.
No. There is an emergency release handle that is mechanical. Passengers tend to find that instead of the normal button.
Are we talking about the inside or outside? How can the emergency services open the door of a crashed car if there is no handle?
You mean the one inside the speaker? Or under the carpet? Or simply nonexistent in some models? Fuck the people especially in the back seat I guess
All 4 doors on my car have a manual emergency release on the door handle.
And my car has normal fucking door handles.
I'm just correcting your assertion that they have emergency release under the carpet or in the door panel. I am not making any judgement about the door handles.
