• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

It will only take one or two of these to kill the autonomous driving car industry (link)....

Teslas bursting into flames in an accident is an issue. This is at least the third report like this I‘ve seen. I knew a person who crashed into a tree in a Tesla and it also burst into flames and killed him.
 
Op, the story is old news.. reverend Elon claims the driver didn’t have autopilot engaged.

there’s a case in China 🇨🇳 where the ccp allowed a family member of the victim to enter the car show and protest on the Tesla display. The Tesla execs had to apologize.

I agree though with ops premise a few more accidents, or Elon falls out of favor with the press they will go him
 
Hydrogen fuel cells were so much more reasonable as a replacement for gas cars but the marketing of that picture of the blimp exploding made us make a horrible decision.
