    It’s ridiculous that Tesla can beta test their shitty software in public and I have to be subjected to it

    This is true for most software nowadays

    Sure, but I'm not directly affected by someone's buggy phone software. If a self driving Tesla crashes into me, that does affect me.

    Let me guess, you always perfect code? Maybe just html but it’s perfect, right?

    I find it bit disappointing that you even need to restate this. People here should know better.

    Who cares if your social media toy has bugs in production ? These are several tons metal things going fast amongst humans, with high-energy batteries that like to explode. This can't have bugs in production.

    I grew up in an era of lawn darts, leaded gasoline, and Oxycontin. The end user is a test subject of all products.

    Lawn darts was fun though.

    My self driving Tesla does better than most Tiktok-brained drivers. I know because I'm watching, just like the car. Two is better than one and I enjoy it thoroughly.

    100% sure that buggy phones killed more people than Teslas.

    I think we're supposed to learn from incidents like that, not keep repeating the same old mistakes

    You should add thalidomide to your list of "end users being test subjects gone horribly wrong" list, especially with the FDA being mucked around with these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide_scandal
