Apple co-founder: Buy Tesla if you want to die

"Buy a Tesla if you want to die."

A few days ago, the co-founder of Apple angrily sprayed Tesla FSD.

And he also expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with Musk, saying that he loves to brag and has impure motives.

As the head of half of Apple and Jobs' best partner.

How did you form a "beam" with Musk?

What the Apple co-founder said

The Apple co-founder is Steve Wozniak.

Recently, he was interviewed by an American TV program and talked about the impact of AI on human beings.

Among them, when it comes to Musk and Tesla, he is very fierce.

First of all, he picked it up, "I've never met Musk or spoken to him." I admire what he did for the world, and he got us moving to electric cars. ”

Then suddenly, he changed his tone: "But his real motive... Covered by many things. He took a lot of money from me. ”

Why does Wozniak feel this way?

The key is that Tesla's so-called autopilot failed to meet his expectations:

I believed Musk's words before, he said that Tesla cars can travel around the country on autopilot by the end of 2016, and then I deliberately spent $15,000 to buy FSD for the experience, and it turned out that it couldn't do anything... I can pack tickets, it can't do it at all...

Musk later said that they launched a new model with 8 cameras, which can drive around the country by the end of 2017.

Having said that, he directly came to a conclusion:

Kid, if you want to study how AI goes wrong, get a monetary claim, and try to kill you at the first opportunity, buy a Tesla.

In fact, before that, the Apple co-founder had repeatedly complained publicly about Tesla.

Back in October 2017, he mentioned: "There is so much hype around Tesla, if Tesla says something is going to happen, don't take it too seriously." ”

In 2018, in an interview, he expressed a love and hate emotion: "I don't believe anything Tesla and Musk say, but I still love my Tesla cars."

It is reported that Wozniak himself owns 2 Tesla Model S.

In an interview with CNBC in February, he said he was misled by Tesla's self-driving capabilities and that his Tesla was not as good as Musk said.

That's why he said Tesla had stolen me and my wife a lot of money.

And to prove what he said, Wozniak said that "Tesla cars always go wrong, it's horrible, it's scary." ”

In addition, he expressed disappointment with Musk's ability to "put on a show", saying that he himself prefers marketing methods based on honesty and refusal to glorify the truth.

In his words: "When you look at Tesla and Musk, you find that all integrity is gone."

Wozniak later shared a similar view at the CivoNavigate conference.

The points of complaining are: Tesla loves to lie, likes to "twitch", unpredictable behavior, and does poor navigation...

Did Musk draw the pie

Is what the Apple co-founder said true or false?

The date dates back to October 19, 2016, when Tesla hosted a conference call.

At the meeting, Musk said:

The newly manufactured Tesla vehicles have the necessary hardware, and each supports Level 5 full self-driving.

The day after the conference call, Tesla's official website released an autopilot promotional video, with the caption proudly read:

In 2016, FSD was not yet a product name, but the phrase "Full Self-Driving" has begun to be used.

At the beginning of this video, the car has not yet appeared, and the white text on a black background reads: "In the video, the driver only sits in the driver's seat because of the regulations, he does not operate the car the whole time, Tesla drives itself."

In this video, the set of functions shown by Tesla is actually what is now often called "three-domain integration" high-level automatic driving, that is, including parking, highways, and urban roads.

This is also the goal of the competition that almost all intelligent driving mass production players are currently chasing.

At the time of 2016, Tesla said that it already had such capabilities. It's no wonder that Apple co-founder Wozniak always feels cheated.

But that's not all, Musk later announced that by the end of 2017, the car could drive from Los Angeles to Times Square in New York, "without any touch, including charging piles."

This is also a point that was later repeatedly criticized by Wozniak.

In October 2019, Musk made a promise that has not been fulfilled so far, when he announced that 1 million Tesla Robotaxi would be on the road by the end of 2020.

According to him, Tesla owners can make money by providing autopilot, on-demand driving services.

Now looking back at what Musk said above, have all the promises been fulfilled?

Whether full autonomous driving has been achieved is unknown. Combined with media reports, accidents are constant.

The most representative is that in 2018, a Chinese Apple engineer, driving a Tesla Model X, lost his mind when using Autopilot because he completely trusted the system, and the car crashed into the high-speed central isolation strip, and the car was destroyed.

After the accident, the families of the victims took Tesla to court, arguing that Tesla had product design defects, failure to warn, breach of warranty, intentional and negligent misrepresentation, and false advertising.

In addition, according to the National Highway Traffic Management Agency (NHTSA), from July 2021 to June last year, there were 273 known crashes in Tesla vehicles with Autopilot turned on.

Since 2016, U.S. federal agencies have investigated 35 accidents (suspected of using FSD or Autopilot) that resulted in a total of 19 deaths.

On the other hand, Tesla's propaganda strategy has also been questioned. In Germany, the court directly banned Tesla from promoting "full self-driving."

What is more surprising is that in January this year, Tesla's self-driving promotional video in 2016 was also exposed to fake.

And it was still been

Tesla's own engineers

Confirmed in court, he said the video was actually "posed"...

So this also reflects from the side that what the Apple co-founder said has some truth.

One more thing

Musk estimates that he has been sneezing lately.

No, in addition to being cue by Apple co-founder, Buffett and Munger also commented on Musk.

Or at Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting that just concluded.

Buffett, who will turn 93, believes Musk likes to challenge things beyond the limit.

He said Musk is smart, probably over 170 IQ, working on solving the impossible, and does it from time to time.

But Buffett admits that these things Musk did were torture for both him and Munger.

Munger, who is 99, said Musk likes to overestimate himself and take on impossible tasks.

He also said that Musk would not have achieved what he has achieved if he had not tried his extremely unreasonable goals.

Well, speaking of which, what do you think of Musk in front of the screen? Whose point of view do you agree with more?
