the cybertruck is sharp enough to cut a deer in half, surely a biker is just as vulnerable.

It’s because the system has to rely on visual cues, since Tesla’s have no radar. The system looks at the tail light when it’s dark to gauge the distance from the vehicle. And since some bikes have a double light the system thinks it’s a car in front of them that is far away, when in reality it’s a bike up close. Also remember the ai is trained on human driving behavior which Tesla records from their customers. And we all know how well the average human drives around two wheeled vehicles.
I imagine bicyclists must be æffected as well if they're on the road (as we should be, technically). As somebody who has already been literally inches away from being rear-ended, this makes me never want to bike in the US again.
Time to go to Netherlands.
this makes me never want to bike in the US again.
I live close enough to work for it to be a very reasonable biking distance. But there is no safe route. A high-speed "stroad" with a narrow little bike lane. It would only be a matter of time before some asshole with their face in their phone drifts into me.
I am deeply resentful of our automobile-centric infrastructure in the U.S. It's bad for the environment, bad for our wallets, bad for our waistlines, and bad for physical safety.

Cuz other self driving cars use LIDAR so it's basically impossible for them to not realise that a bike is there.

Remember, you have the right to self-defence, against both rogue robots and rogue humans.
Trucks in general have gotten so big they are pedestrian deathtraps
Every captcha.....can you see the motorcycle? I would be afraid if they wanted all the squares with small babies or maybe just regular folk...can you pick all the hottie's? Which of these are body parts?

This is another reason I’ll never drive a motorcycle. Fuck that shit.
It's like smoking: if you haven't started, don't XD
As a fellow meat crayon I agree
Bahaha, that one is new to me.
~~Back when I worked on an ambulance, we called the no helmet guys organ donors.~~

As someone who likes the open sky feeling, this is why I drive a convertible instead.
I wonder if a state court judge could mandate its use as unsafe?
They are illegal in every developed country.
But muh innovation! How are genius CEOs supposed to innovate if they can't use the public at large as guinea pigs??
Elon needs to take responsibility for their death.
That's why Tesla's full self driving is officially still a level 2 cruise control. But of course they promise to jump directly to level 4 soon™.
Good to know, I'll stay away from those damn things when I ride.
Commuting in CA feels like I’m navigating a minefield 🤡
I already do. Flip a coin: Heads, the car is operating itself and is therefore being operated by a moron. Tails, the owner is driving it manually and therefore it is being operated by a moron.
Just be sure to carefully watch your six when you're sitting at a stoplight. I've gotten out of the habit of sitting right in the center of the lane, because the odds are getting ever higher that I'll have to scoot out of the way of some imbecile who's coming in hot. That's hard to do when your front tire is 24" away from the license plate of the car in front of you.
