thank you for the video, but this appears to be a different clip where Autopilot was activated much later than it shows in your original video (pic attached)

does this mean you ran this test multiple times?

and while you’re here, can you also comment on why FSD wasn’t used? pic.twitter.com/40vDN92nGL

Here’s a Twitter thread detailing Mark Rober’s lies and deception to make a few bucks

TLDR. Anything good?

Teslas like to run over kids

Mar 17, 8:42pm

That's a feature, not a bug.

Hey now. As a fifth grade teacher, I have one thing to say.

"He betrayed his country by attacking the most American made car company in the world" - lol what a weird thing to say.

That’s exactly what I would expect from a 45 year old posting shirtless mirror selfies on instagram.

"An attack on Tesla's self-driving model is an attack on America itself."

Meh. The worst thing he did was using autopilot instead of FSD. Big deal.

Totally disingenuous!

Yea, clearly you didn't read the article because is the least of the problems

Like I said, he doesn’t know much about FSD.

He wasn’t using autopilot - it was deactivated when he hit the wall

Skeptical Optimist

It disengaged a fraction of a second before hitting. It wasn't gonna stop.

Didn’t read it and don’t know what it’s about, but these engagement farming ($$$) Twitter threads are the worst.

No, Rober looks bad in this one.

Mar 17, 8:39pm

It’s funny how TCuz always starts with any link that’s been posted that he wants

Sorry to offend you with my thoughts on engagement farming, sir. Have a good night.

TCuz

Doesn’t really matter what it is, I’m just making an observation.

Twitter threads are the worst

Lol. Nobody cares

I skimmed through the video yesterday, laughed a bit, and moved on. nbd. It's just a funny video, not Consumer Reports.

Cougar-Duck

Mar 17, 8:45pm

If it wasn’t Tesla nobody would care. But some folks live to be offended.

shimmy

Mar 17, 8:48pm

Eh. Seems relevant that Rober went with Tesla. Rober IMO specifically went with making Tesla look bad because that's..

He "went after" optical driverless technology. The biggest gripe one can have

russkiejedi

Mar 17, 9:37pm

lol ok. I'll just forget about the endless amounts of Tesla and Musk hate I've been seeing on Imgur and elsewhere.

greatbam

Mar 17, 9:43pm

How much of that was from Mark Rober? You think he's riding the wave of anti-

I did a search for Elon Musk on a site that makes a lot of stickers and T-shirts and it was all the stickers are so over

Osteotome

What does this have to do with Mark Rober? I'm confused. The existence of people

russkiejedi

Mar 18, 6:57am

You know that a video can serve multiple purposes all at once right? It can both be a paid advert for a lidar comp..

greatbam

Mar 18, 6:00am

Unless you can point to some evidence beyond "lots of people dislike Elon right

russkiejedi

Mar 18, 6:58am

It doesn't absolutely has to be a political hit because like I've said it's a trendy thing to hate on Musk and Tesla.

greatbam

Mar 18, 7:08am

Did you watch the video? It was overwhelmingly about lidar. The first half of it

russkiejedi

Mar 18, 12:47pm

Lies and deception? Man alive so much hyperbole.

I’ll bet Disney is just as mad at him

Rober sold out long ago when he became BFF with Kimmel. Are you surprised he

The styrofoam wall broke apart perfectly like a cartoon! 😝

Endocoug

Mar 17, 8:57pm

I saw that and figured it was precut to explode like that.

Cougar-Duck

Mar 17, 8:59pm

Yep raw footage shows autopilot wasn't engaged until seconds before hitting wall

BikeGuy

Mar 17, 9:24pm

Yeah, he's been hanging with Kimmel, Bill Gates, some sick dudes

He faked a glitter bomb video previously

That doesn't say he faked it. That says that one of the people...

Watch this interview today of Rober clears up a lot of the questions

Whoa Nate Diaz cleans up nicely. Solid interview.
