What are you suggesting?

This is FUD. Supervised means that the camera watches you in realtime keeping attention.

But I get this type of comments just to go against one person.

So if you say BS you can just add /s and it’s fine?

No, it’s not.

This solution went through millions of kilometres of data and tests.

RDW did a really thorough job since we’re talking about Europe: https://www.rdw.nl/en/news/2026/rdw-explanation-of-european-...

Stop. Spreading. FUD.

The best part is not just that Tesla got provisional validity in the Netherlands, it is that the approval appears to come after a long testing process and with actual public reasoning attached.

Even if EU regulations are painfully strict, getting this far means Tesla FSD has cleared a serious technical and regulatory review.

Upgrading decades old legacy systems? Good luck with that.

I’m impressed by the BTC obsession: this will definitely impact the banking sector as a whole even before. Quantum FUD, here we come.

Basically Europe solution to state/companies surveillance is an European managed surveillance, plus a CBDC to get even more into their citizens. Know your enemies, there are solutions out there.

Still doesn’t change my point: as of today being skeptic because relying on outdated data or historical series is just nonsense. I mean, insurance quotes work in a totally different way.

They don’t bet money on just “I’m quite skeptical because I hate the man”, but on actual data provided by the company.

That’s the difference.

> In the US, animal-based skin substitutes require levels of scrutiny from the Food and Drug Administration and animal rights groups that can drive up costs, Lee said. Given the substantial supply of donated human skin, tilapia skin is unlikely to arrive at American hospitals anytime soon.

This reminds me of Milton Friedman’s arguments against the FDA.

That’s exactly my concern here. Trying to solve a problem with good intent by proposing solutions that hurt the overall environment.
