Why the electric cars consistently receive five-star safety ratings.
*Correction: @ 1:45 is a Model 3 rather than a Model S. The Corvallis police department described it as a Model S but our keen-eyed viewers managed to spot the error!

3:38 Autonomy level explainer:
Tesla's Autopilot is currently classified as Level 2 autonomy based on the SAE International scale referenced in the video. The full self-driving (FSD) software is a major improvement, however, it cannot (yet) be categorized as Level 3 autonomy.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), “the major distinction between L2 and L3 is that at L3, the vehicle is designed so that the driver is not expected to constantly monitor the roadway while driving.”
Since drivers are expected to constantly monitor the road at all times during beta tests of Tesla’s FSD software, the vehicles are not quite at Level 3, though they're certainly moving in that direction.
For a detailed explanation, please refer to page 8 of the following document (aka page 2 based on the internal numbering of the PDF): www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot...

What do you think of Waymo's claim that Tesla will never make a fully autonomous car? P.s. @1:54 is actually a Model 3 rather than a Model S. When researching the story, I went off of the police department’s social media post which said it was an S. Thanks to my viewers for spotting the difference! - Cindy

Sure. I think people are exaggerating. I mean it is cool to have an autonimous car. To let the car drive without needing to steer the wheel, while driving on the same highway for hours. However, on short-run it is also good to control the car by yourself. The autonimous thing wouldn't save your time anyway.

I believe cars should always have been electric from the very beginning. Electrification just suits so perfectly for cars. On top of zero emmisions, it also adds up as a safety feature because of the lack of an engine.

[@rohitashkhaitan4578]

A lot of electricity around the world is generated from thermal power plants which operate on fossil fuel, some even on coal. It's just outsourcing the pollution outside the cities, but with more and more hydro power plants and wind and sunlight being harnessed things are getting better

The touchscreens themselves aren't what's failing, but the flash memory chips that the computer uses to store and retrieve information that is then sent to the display. This prevents the computer from being able to send data to the screen or receive inputs from it. Not a critique, just a mention.

I support innovation, and Tesla is at the forefront. We must criticize heavily in order to get better results, and competition is the best way to do that. I had the amazing opportunity to drive a Tesla 2021, and I was surprised. A lot of great features and an overall unique experience. One thing that I did notice that the touchscreen was not exactly in good quality. The touch feedback was not as responsive as it must be. On top of that the computer seemed to be slow or delayed. Like watching KZbin and reverting back to other apps and features caused freezing and delays. For a car's main function being reliant completely on the touchscreen, it's no excuse that the touchscreen should be in top shape and standard. That is my only criticism, for now.
