Tesla to add radar in its cars next month amid self-driving suite concerns

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
