Those look like Utz cheese balls, fuckin love those things

Disagree, strongly. Modern high performance all seasons fucking rip. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S or Continental Extreme Contact are very good tires. They’re not as good as dedicated summer/winter tires but they’re very far from sucking. If you don’t deal with snow (inches of accumulation) then good all seasons are more than adequate.

As someone who has avidly been reading manuals since the early 90s, car manuals have always been pretty good. Home audio/video equipment has also had great manuals over the years too. I don’t recall a time these turned to shit.

Motherboards / BIOS documentation comes in dead last, and has always been shit. Dozens and dozens of proprietary settings that are not described by the manual nor the built in help, and there’s only conjecture online. At least now the English is mostly correct, but they’re still very bad at describing what niche settings do.

For the Tesla it’s very easy to use correctly.

Not supported by the evidence, but sure, keep relying on your feelings and telling other people it’s their problem. Projection.

I’m saying the technology leads to more harm than good in its current implementation. I don’t care it’s better than your Audi, it still sucks overall. “Used correctly” shouldn’t be a huge factor in a good design. It should be easy to use correctly and hard to use incorrectly. This is not the current state. It’s very easy to use incorrectly, as you admit, and the accidents demonstrate this.

I don’t really give a fuck what the terminology is to be frank. The technology leads to unsafe behavior, whether it’s FSD or autopilot.
