From FT comments section:

Marketing from BYD “luxury features at bargain prices”

Marketing from Tesla “Hitler wasn’t all bad”

The Nazis could at least organize stuff but Hitler was vain, arrogant, and dismissive of intelligence in others.

That description reminds me of someone.

God’s eye? Why not Jesus’ wheel? We could just say “Jesus, take the wheel!” And the car would engage the self driving mode.

Cross religion = multi market 😆

lime@feddit.nu on 10 Feb 2025 22:27 collapse

I thought Jesus was the cross religion

echodot@feddit.uk on 11 Feb 2025 09:05 collapse

And of course the evangelicals are the very cross religion

sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 14 Feb 14:22 collapse

Like Galileo the way they cross Religion.

If it’s God’s eye and Jesus’s wheel, then who does this shift stick belong to?

nullPointer@programming.dev on 10 Feb 2025 21:58 next collapse

Satan’s lever.

The Holy Spirit Shift-it

“Gods eye” view is a common idiom for a third person perspective. That’s probably what they’re referencing.

echodot@feddit.uk on 11 Feb 2025 09:04 collapse

Well it’s a more top down perspective. Third person tends to be a follow camera on the whole.

futatorius@lemm.ee on 11 Feb 2025 09:37 collapse

“BYD is my co-pilot.”

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee on 10 Feb 2025 21:15 next collapse

Tesla full self driving is a $8,000 option, and BYD aim to sell a whole car for that?

They really have rested on their laurels, haven’t they?

plz1@lemmy.world on 10 Feb 2025 21:19 collapse

FSD isn’t even real, too, so if BYD’s is, they already won even without the price tag difference.

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee on 10 Feb 2025 22:47 collapse

It’s not self driving in the sense that the car needs no driver input, but it seems to be as good or better as any other enhanced cruise control system.

plz1@lemmy.world on 10 Feb 2025 23:00 collapse

So not full self driving

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee on 10 Feb 2025 23:04 next collapse

No, the name is a lie.

echodot@feddit.uk on 11 Feb 2025 09:08 collapse

Essentially it’s just cruise control + collision avoidance (although the collision avoidance bit doesn’t really work) + lane control.

If the lane goes around the corner then the car will go around the corner without human input but it won’t turn off the road to follow navigational directions. FSD is about 80% of the way there, but the final 20% is really the bit that matters and is also the hardest.

A better acronym would be SAD = Slightly Automated Driving

Great. Soon the CCP will watch us every time one of their cars passes by. I couldn’t think of a way how this could be problematic given they run illegal police stations across the globe to procecute dissidents and hold control over their population abroad.

Just like South Africa already does

How long until someone saya “F it, I’m hacking and disassembling the parts I don’t want on this.”?

Isn’t that the name of the global surveillance system in one of the Mission Impossible movies? It’s like they’re not even trying to hide it…

You’re thinking Fast and Furious 7 “Fate of the Furious”
