      Yes, I fully understand the difference between analogy and equivalency. You claimed that fly by wire on an aircraft is exactly as safe and redundant as the steering wheel of a Tesla vehicle. That’s called an equivalency and is a demonstrably false statement. I never claimed that there were no redundancies to the power supplies, but it’s simply not relevant. You do understand that there are different regulations and rigors applied to an aircraft compared to a crappy car that hasn’t even passed any crash safety testing and hasn’t been certified by any engineering standards bodies, right?

          The only good news here is that the regulators in your country aren’t stupid enough to let you operate this machine near your fellow humans.

          I drove it ONE block after delivery, it made a loud thunk, and threw alarms, and was disabled!

          You requested evidence, I was attempting to provide evidence. Copy paste of last line of the Twitter post.

              Ok, I missed the word and. My apologies. This is an example of any. I guess it’s not all as the screen still worked. Truck won’t move, but you don’t care about that.
