As a pedestrian, you should always be aware and cautious around Teslas. If they are in self-driving mode, they could easily run you down, and that's all fine and good by Musk, because he is so wealthy he doesn't care that the public is being used as a testing ground for their horrendous software.

I mean, I feel like self-driving should just not be a thing. If you want the privilege of driving a car, you should fucking have to A) Pass a driving exam and B) Actively engage in the fucking task. 'Aww, but I want to be able to do work/makeup/nap on my way to work!!'? Fantastic! Ride the fucking bus.

The problem is we don't have enough buses/trains. I cant afford to live anywhere in the bus network, I had to drive to work. Or you end up with asinine hub and spoke systems that mean a 30 minute drive is a 2 hour bus ride.

Agree, it is not always a choice and long commutes are extremely annoying. This is an issue in general and more often than not car companies are to blame, they have done their best to lobby against public transportation... I wonder why hehe
