Funny you should mention that

Why an engineer would use a "learning algorithm" rather than just use a "never crush something" is beyond me. So poorly designed.

Lol, they used a "learning algorithm" for something we solved decades ago? The responsible engineer needs to get his degree revoked...

So they progressively increase closing force if it keeps detecting something but the owner keeps trying to close it. I can vaguely see the reasoning only if they aren't confident in the frunk sensor for some reason. I mean garage doors solved this problem forever ago without having to resort to something like that.

I wonder if the "vision-based everything" mandate from Musk applies outside of autonomous driving features? Makes sense to not be confident in it if it's just a camera...

Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he's The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, "hey, our company is basically brand new, we're still working out some kinks."

Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there's no need to try to reinvent it.

I'm surprised that they haven't released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.
