I'm coining a new term: "gas-ware" New technology appearing in advanced electric vehicles. Much like 'gaslighting', a clever huckster keeps saying, its 'coming soon', and 'its has ___-capacity'. A common strategy for a 'gasware' creator, is he keeps moving the goal-posts. A necessary pre-requisite: high charisma and notoriety.

Thank you for mentioning gaslighting. I had that thought immediately but was wondering to myself whether it applied here (which means it was working!)

It's baffling that a company can do that and expect to still be trusted in the future, and with people's lives, no less. Alas, it'll likely blow over, if it even makes any kind of splash.

It'll be interesting to see the copious amounts of doublethink in the announcement.

Sounds like there's some overlap with the well-established term 'vaporware'.

That term doesn't exist

To me FSD is a lie. I don't see why he would not use another lie to cover it up.

To safely drive on the road, we'll need to understand the environment surrounding us precisely. Unfortunately for all auto-driving approaches, I cannot see anything to do with that. Sensors are actually least to worry about.

Given the popularity of the Tesla, I would expect dramatic increase of (fatal) accidents involving Tesla/FSD in the next a couple of years. Hopefully I'm wrong.
